Another great evening of entertainment...

Sometimes there is a real gem of creative genius in our writing group - that's not to say that our homework themes are anything less than brilliant themselves - but the meeting this evening was blessed with the work of Chris Shaw in our Cairns outpost Down Under. As the crow flies the distance between Cairns and Felixstowe is 15,048 kilometers (9,350 miles) with a nine hour time difference.

An email brought his work to the notice of the Scribblers in a flash - or a shaky old finger hovering over the send button.

The work, entitled 'Hospital Stay' had to be heard to be believed. A real side splitting epistle which was read by our dear friend Les Smith.

Just a shame the attendance was lower than we would have liked but those present, who helped to create their 'Monster' works and provide an evening of compelling entertainment, included
much hilarity over Liliane's tale of grandfather before the brilliance from our friend Chris with a report of his stay in hospital... words cannot describe it! Suffice to say this would make a terrific TV sketch... Food for thought maybe...

Our next meeting will be another challenge of a pictorial kind when Dave will provide a photograph as a basis for a short creative writing session.

Keep Scribbling!
