Guest Post by Fluffy: Crowded Shoulders – No Mystery
When I get up in the morning I go straight back to bed again. I feel best in the evening, the moment I dowse the candle... Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it. -- Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or Hi, it's me again. Fluffy the Cat....
Guest Post by Matthew Barton: A Postcard from Quarantine
Back in March, in England, along with the rest of the country, I went into lockdown. No visits outside, no socialising, no face-to-face contact with friends -- a transformation of our daily life. It's now August, and I am releasing a project, Queen of England, made in...
Guest Post by Bomethius: Goodbye, Covid-19

Guest Post by Fluffy: Will Orchard – I Miss You, Like Sunday
Hi. I'm Fluffy, the cat. Today the Food Guy has a pre-existing condition to shovel compost in the back yard, so I have to write his log post for the Winternet. I am writing about a song called 'I Miss You, Like Sunday' by Will Orchard. I enjoy Sundays in the Fall. I...
Cowboy Grizzly’s For the Moment: Guest Post by Diann Zimmerman
Each person who enters your life leaves an entry on your page. Some people post stories of happiness, others post only pictures of cats. Some test you and challenge you to be better, some share their experiences and offer you lessons. Some people unfollow...
Guest Post by Kevin Bloom of The Dead Shakers – The Creation of Brother Stomach
When I listened to 'Brother Stomach' by The Dead Shakers, I heard a deeply personal song that I did not completely understand. I knew that the story behind the song could be told only by the artist who created it. Kevin Bloom has given us a story full of details......
