...Thanks, Simon. I doubt that Craig reads my blog. <br /><br />Just fed the kids some Chinese food - home-made! - for their lunch, as they wanted to try out their new 'easy-to-use' chopsticks. They scoffed the lot, so I obviously have that sweet-sour thing down okay. Must be something to do with my personality ...!<br /><br />J.Jane Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590668593487445482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16608180.post-23154786213575297562010-02-15T10:45:19.603+00:002010-02-15T10:45:19.603+00:00Dear Jane

Mitaj if only to prevent poetry editors from binning my manuscripts on sight. I had to abandon the idea when my sister refused to act as courier. I keep dreaming about Craig Raine. Does he read your blog? And last but not least I wish you and your family a very Happy Chinese New Year.<br /><br />Best wishes from SimonPoetry Pleases!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16686247991180317838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16608180.post-68188491570985799282010-02-13T17:35:56.445+00:002010-02-13T17:35:56.445+00:00Let's try that again.
