The Free -‘I Got up on the Table.’- -‘Oof.’- I Said -‘I was putting massage oil on him and he got all.. well and ..’- We started giggling. -‘How did you get that thing, um, I mean?’- -‘You’ve seen it then.’- -‘Not like… inflated.’- The Free -‘I got up on the table.’- -‘Oof.’- I said. -‘Only times I got done it was terrible. My dad he..’- I stopped, I’d said too much, how silly I was. Mike Gilliland And suddenly I started breathing in little gasps. -‘Well, uh, sorry.. your dad? Oh shit no, your father?’- Maggie was much too clever. She took my hands in hers and we touched foreheads. She just ignored my wheezing. But I turned my head away, biting my bottom lip till it hurt. I’d let slip a secret I hardly dared tell myself! And Maggie had picked up on it. I shrugged my shoulders again. Blinking back tears. -‘Shh, shh. Tell me if you want.’- she said. -‘It doesn’t matter. um.. I started remembering things.’- I whis- pered, sniffing. -‘You’re blocking it out, sure. You’ll have to tell me it all, okay? So then finally you can really get over it.’- I felt like I would fall into a black hole. I was going to choke. Maggie was rubbing my back gently. -‘When he, um. When he started doing things to me… No I c can’t tell it… Why am I still so scared?’- -‘You’re safe here. You started remembering things he did.’- -‘Yes coz I’d seen through him and, and he lost his power over me! I’ve escaped Maggie!. And I found a wonderful new friend!’- -‘Who’s that then?’- For answer I tickled her waist and we laughed together. -‘You’ll have to tell me all the dirty details.’- she insisted. -‘If not 2011 they can fester inside you.’- 80 *** We moved the stew from the flames, to just simmer and madea salad and got the plates ready. She’d even brought a bottle of their merry plum wine. We re-hung the big blanket over the window, stopping the draft and muffling the noisy wind. Then Maggie threw herself onto the cushions by the fire,ina flowing Tai Chi roll. -‘Come over here with me, Maxie Moon.’- -‘I am here.’- I wasn’t so sure about rolling with this gay lady. -‘I’ve got another shocking secret. I’ve come here to tell you and Barney about it. It’s a secret.’- -‘I won’t tell a soul.’- I swore. -‘Maybe you should turn up the radio again.’- -‘Well it’ll have to be public soon anyway.’- -‘Is it bad?’- I asked, but I could see it was good. She was beaming and nervous. -‘No no I hope not, it’s good good good.’- -‘I’m glad about that, er. What is it then?’- She rolled onto her tummy, elbows on the rug and grinning up at me. -‘Well, remember I told you Barney was just an old friend. Well it’s true..um..’- -‘What are you trying to say?’- -‘That I did make love to him, in my room, on the massage table.’- -‘He did it to you on the massage table?’- I giggled. -‘Well no, uh, really I did it to him. But he liked it. See I was taking care of him when he was all cracked up and out of it, like..’- -‘You gave him, er, special therapy.’- I was surprised and intrigued and nodded her on.. 79 like she was casting a spell, and chucked a splintered plank on the crackling fire… -‘Just the idea gives me a panic attack. But I got my inhaler. Lets do it..’- -‘Yeah maybe, but it would have to be done right, like, not just a Contents spectacle I mean, we.. They’re sadistic, it’s not so much about sexat all.’- She’d finished my now short hair and was rubbing me withher Act One 13 thumbs. We sat cross legged, staring wide eyed into the glowing sparks. Chapter One -‘In some male circles attacking women is seen as -‘Okay wow and Smashing my Aquarium how daring.’- and that… Know what I mean?’- -‘A big, wet, pouting, splash of a kiss..’- 14 -‘And we could change that?’- I wasn’t convinced.

With the projects and the radios and the telly and the Pools, and, and more stuff.’- Chapter Two -‘We’ll talk to them, you know them…’- Linda leaves home. I could hear the stew bub-bubble in the blackened pot. -‘Don’t be naughty, little darling, don’t be bad.’- 24 -‘..But would it really work?’- Linda ............................. 24 -‘We could strike a good blow, like.. To shame the rapist in these fellas heads.’- Chapter Three Linda is Maxie Moon My legs were hurting, I stretched them straight, but she moved -‘Running through that suddenly golden snow.’- 31 so I leaned back into her arms.

It’s just a chance, and I want you to know Chapter eight everything from the start.’- Christo joins The Free -‘Hey here comes the old lap dog himself.’- 87 I said nothing.

  • Artist Spotlight
    ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Édouard Manet DAN SCOTT The Bridge BetweenÉdouard Realism Manet and Impressionism Édouard Manet (1832-1883) was a French painter who bridged the gap between Real- ism and Impressionism. In this ebook, I take a closer look at his life and art. Édouard Manet, Boating, 1874 2 Key Fact Here are some of the key facts and ideas about the life and art of Manet: • Unlike many of his contemporaries, he was fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family in Paris on 23 January 1832. His father was a high-ranking judge and his mother had strong political connections, being the daughter of a diplomat and goddaughter of Charles Bernadotte, a Swedish crown prince. • His father expected him to follow in his footsteps down a career in law. However, with encouragement from his uncle, he was more interested in a career as a paint- er. His uncle would take him to the Louvre on numerous occasions to be inspired by the master paintings. • Before committing himself to the arts, he tried to join the Navy but failed his entry examination twice. Only then did his father give his reluctant acceptance for him to become an artist. • He trained under a skilled teacher and painter named Thomas Couture from 1850 to 1856. Below is one of Couture’s paintings, which is similar to the early work of Manet. I always find it interesting to see how much a teacher’s work can influence the work of their students. That is why you need to be selective with who you learn from.

    Baddow & Galleywood U3A NEWSLETTER Summer 2020 LOCKDOWN EDITION Mr & Mrs Blackbird enjoy breakfast at Maggie’s The Continuing Thoughts of Chairman Mo “We have all the time in the world.” ― Louis Armstrong “People will always need People” – Benjamin Zephaniah In my last Newsletter article, I was looking forward to having lots of nominations for new committee members at the AGM in April. Guess what – no volunteers. Even worse – no AGM. Since the start of lockdown, I’ve been trying to update you all on a weekly basis with local, and occasionally, national items. Many have been sent to me by members – especially those in the Patient Participation Group at Baddow Village Surgery - or gleaned from local Facebook groups that I belong to. Based on the many responses to the weekly updates that I’ve had from you, it would seem that they have helped in some small way to ease the tedium of living in this strange new world that we’re trying to adjust to. National U3A Day has now been postponed until October 1st (2020, in case you were thinking otherwise!), so you’ve plenty of time now to muster your thoughts and let us know what you or your group(s) might like to do. Just as a reminder, here’s what it’s all about - “Members can showcase what happens in their U3A, challenge negative perceptions of older adults and invite other Third Agers in the community to learn about the contribution U3A makes to the quality of life of retired people”. It may well be that yet another postponement of the day is still on the cards, or at least one observing social distancing rules.

For years, I haven't really preferred the longer stuff—novels and what-not. But I took a bit of a dive into my archives this August to reread a number of full-length works I appreciated in the past, and was happy I did. Do you ever reread books or shorter length pieces you've enjoyed? Here is a sampling of where I went this summer - "Colony Girl" - by Thomas Rafiel (Picador, 1999). The story of Eve, a teenage girl in a religious colony, written in first person, yet by a male author. I found the voice very convincing, and this personality very likable and interesting. "I looked behind and saw my shadow, stretching ten miles down the road," Eve tells us. "The farther I walked, the farther it went in the other direction." "Last Things" - by Jenny Offill (Dell, 1999). Younger than Eve, Grace is eight years old, has that enviable child's imagination, and is exposed to quite a stirring of views and thoughts and systems of others.
