About TanGental
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.

That is so typical. My dogs would not tolerate a cat in the house and go berzerk when they see one outside. But they do taunt each other. The little one, of course, is the more aggressive one.

Cats dominate, but I think Dog is a wise coward. He chooses his enemies carefully!

So true. Many are the cats’ anuses that have been used to express the same level of disgust as implied in my Great Aunt Rose’s tight lipped moue when I refused her fish paste sandwiches.

Cats know they were gods in Ancient Egypt, and were witches’ familiars in the Middle Ages. Both roles of power.
Dogs hunted for humans, guarded property for humans, were pets for humans, pulled sledges for humans, rounded up livestock for humans. See a pattern emerging?

Oh indeed. I have been tolerated by all our many cats – unlike Mrs LP who is afforded a kind of reverence.
