Singapore and Shanghai grannie

 well my head is screaming I've put neem on my shoulder too

the cold has kicked off the tinnitus to a higher level

and the shoulder just hits me a couple of times as day

this is my life

PAIN

but I have a secret lover

Singapore

sigh

you are in Crazy Rich Asian mode reading me as if  I'm Dickens

so thank you

though you could just be a cobbler mending ladies high heel shoes

so may say I'm as heel after all

well Grandma from Shanghai will be visiting in a day or two

so that'll be different I  not seen her in 20 years

since our smallest was  born

grandma will have bragging rights

the poorest family has got the smartest kids at the highest universities

so don't give me I'm from the inner city I did not have a chance

open a book and read

and the rest is up to you

my generation was high

the next generation, our kids went higher

though some may say I'm a total failure

as I did not make any money from my talent

though 167 countries have read me

and 1000s of copies of my books have been read in many languages

and yes I can actually write

being commercial does not mean you can actually write

discuss

5000 words by friday

I'm going to stop now the noise in my head is horrendous

the cold is descending ang my Tinnitus is climbing

I did have a new story idea in my head, but Tinnitus gets in the way

so Singapore come type for me, as the pain and tinnitus attack my sanity

switch your fire alarm on and see how long you can stand under it

10 mins tops

Try all day

so don't judge me, try walking in my shoes

it takes an hour to write a piece

or 10 mins if I had typist

a scribe

ok that's it thank you Singapore

even if you are a cobbler, or think my writing is a load of old cobblers

at least you come back,  looking for the last maybe



yes I look stupid but it keeps me warm, with the Christmas tree in here it blocks the heading

 tinnitus horrendous, like tales of brave Ulysses lashed to the mast as the witches scream that is my tinnitus, no sleep so have pity on me ...
