John King @ison_1 (1240) 16 Nov 17

A year and 7 days to be exact. That's how long since I last posted here on Mylot. I wonder if anyone is still around, or am I talking into the void? Maybe if I wait long enough my echo will find its way back. HB @Inlemay :)...

John King @ison_1 (1240) 19 Sep 16

Hi all I was asked for a photo by @Inlemay of a wall in London. Unfortunately I don't have that particular photo, so this sunset one will have to suffice. I haven't actually been into London for a while, but I am there Saturday...

Saw this challenge by @Jessicalynnt via a post by @Inlemay. Thought I'd try it in as few words as possible (not that I'm lazy in any way :)) Write a poem using the following words: write, fright, sight, light, night Broken...
