that’s what this is
All the patients’
comings and goings
all the visitors’
toing and froing
all the staff
on-call and off
all the movement
all the stuff
all the connections
all the skills
all the cures
for all the ills
all the kindness
and the care
all the knowing
someone’s there
all the wipes
all the towels
all the instruments
and bowls
all the dressings
all the stitches
everything
like mother’s kisses...

Shedman's personal Shedquest

Believe it or not, until now Shedman didn't have a shed of his own. Now he's acquired the shed he used at Havant Literary Festival from Accadia. But he's also beginning the quest for his own special writing shed. Follow the story at Shedworld and on Twitter from Spring 2010.
