When Lotte is asked to find a Labour Leader’s Stasi file she suspects a modern-day version of Zersetzung, this time using social media to make up stories about the left. #ddrzeit #kruger #doxxing #theleft

OK, so it was only a poem, not a weather forecast:-

His #raincoat hangs behind the door
But Alex is not living here anymore
Gone to a place there's no rain
My God, he’s died
She cried
No
I replied
Somewhere with no extradition treaty
Probably Spain

Chucking it down with rain here in the Santuari de Lluc, Mallorca. Time to buy a 'blauet' in the tourist shop? No these are not Argentinian footballers, they're baby choirboys from the local escolania. Not to be confused with the other kind of 'blauet', a kingfisher 🤔

Katie was always losing things. She lost her #raincoat at the park whilst playing football. She lost her dinner money on the school bus.
But she never expected to lose her shadow. She'd had it yesterday. It had followed her all around the playground.
But now it was gone.

We head into the final few stops on our musical mystery tour, it's day 11 just 4 more days to enjoy (or endure 🤣)

Today's inspiration is from post-punk pioneers who served up the wonderful Odyshape LP, today's #vss365 #prompt 11/10/25 is #raincoat

What's your favourite album?

When sadness showers down
Made from artificial
Silly people clouds
There naught be
An umbrella
Or a #raincoat
Big enough
To cover
Ones heart
From welling up
And sinking
Like a boat
With a broken hull

The griefer wore a long coat, like a #raincoat, on his character, trying to look like something modern in the fantasy world, but it just looked dumb. He walked around, text bubbles appearing over his head, insulting everyone.

Some responded, insulting him back, but Rory walked away.

A very British Coup, but this time with help of the German press and a future Labour Leader's Stasi file steinkrugpublications.co.uk

I let a vampire make love to me
Yes, that was somewhat rash
And take this as a warning
When the sun rises in the morning
The bed is covered in #ash

See there is a Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern.
My wife said I would never cut it as an impressionist
She is laughing on the other side of her face now

She was an #advert for a quantum of misery.
Only the most skilled poet could translate into verse.
‘Smile,’ I told her, ‘Things can only get better.’
Then she smiled.
And everything seemed a lot worse.

Science fiction is the product of an #elastic mind
And just occasionally
A stretch of the imagination of a different kind

Hers was a tabloid existence
She reflected on what she #read in the Daily Mirror.
But then was burned by The Sun #vss365

Jane

She was Guardian
Of the #Oasis
May she rest in peace
In the Forest spaces
With the ones
She loved

She must be replaced,
With another
Who understands
Loves faces.
The sacred places
Of impermanence
And eternity.
Another champion,
Willing Guardian
Of this interstellar
Blue green
Oasis.

Her eyes were as blue as the sky reflected in the pool of water in that #oasis where we made love.
'I crossed the desert.' I said 'To show you I care.'
'I crossed the desert for you too.' She replied 'And have got sand in my underwear.' #vss365

Rory brought the mount to a halt amid the leaning palm trees of the #oasis, the creature fading away as Rory ran o the waters to collect the sample the alchemist needed to find out who had been poisoning the little lakes, and with what.

Lucky he didn’t need water to play the game.

In July 2023 I was beaten up and robbed outside Wembley Stadium. The police asked what I remembered and I told them everything was a #blur. They questioned Ticketmaster and members of a britpop band but no-one was charged. #vss365

Everytime I try to order this book I recieve a copy of Horticulture in Britain - something to do with my phone's spell checker.
