My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
Short, sweet? and certainly fattening…It’s so hot in Spain at present, and, now I’m older anyway, I eat smaller portions of everything, which is just as well. Tapas and salads suit me fine until it`s cooler. x
Do not say you are turning to vegetarianism. I agree with you in fact of some industrial produced meat can only be eaten after it was the ground for good salad. 😉 Enjoy a good weekend! Fish and Chips are always a good alternative. 🙂 xx Michael
They used to do a tv diet programme analysing people’s eating habits by dropping the day’s food (with accompanying splats) down a clear plastic tube into a clear Perspex box – wurgh!
It caused me a few problems in my teens as I couldn’t bear to eat, imagining this …

I tend to think that with me the portions may seem smaller but they are the same size, it’s just I’ve got bigger….
