WHERE IS LOLA?
I don’t know where Lola is. I’ve sniffed everywhere. Upstairs. Downstairs. In the shoe cupboard. I go back to sitting on Len’s stomach. He pats me, but no talk of “Walks!” or “Let’s play tug of war!” No wandering around the house so I can follow him in case something happens.

AFTER WORDS FAILED
Letitia liked action. Whenever action was needed, there she was, ready for it, her chin stuck out as she hammered or sawed or plunged the old unreliable toilet. When she went bungey jumping from a bridge in New Zealand, she leaped before she was told to, and when she was told she couldn’t do something, she did it. Immediately.

WHEN NOTHING HAPPENED
The far end of Megan’s street had been disappearing for the last week. She had decided to ignore it. To the east there was a sunny day, rows of neat suburban houses and picket fences under green and shady trees. To the west, the creeping nothingness.

FUN WITH BARBED WIRE
I love the texture of old rusty iron, the subtle ripples of its surface where air has nibbled it away over decades. I love the red-orange colour which is earthy and natural, a far cry from primary colours and shiny galvanized silver of new metal.
