Still Learning

Even at my age, (which btw is as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth and that's all I'm saying on the subject!!), I'm still learning new things. Just this weekend I learnt some important facts. I learnt that if you are out of proper washing powder (laundry detergent) it is a good idea to go to the corner shop and buy some. I learnt that it is not a good idea to scrabble around in the cupboard under the kitchen sink until you find the bottle of Stergene liquid (which is for hand-washing silk and similar delicate fabrics) and think to yourself that'll do. I especially learnt that it is not at all a good idea to measure out a complete cap full and put it into the drawer of an automatic washing machine at 40c.

Well, not unless you plan on washing the kitchen floor and all the cupboard doors as well as doing the laundry. And you planned on using half an ocean of bubbles to do that. In case you were wondering Stergene bubbles well. Very well. Tom-and-Jerry-Cartoon sort of very well. Overflowing out of the soap-drawer and round the door-seal well. And it needs three extra rinse cycles to get it out of the clothes. Not to mention two hours of mopping to get it off the floor. But boy does it make the floor tiles clear & shiny.

Now some hype for you.

Press Release 30.06.2009

It's here!

Sweet Afters from Read These Lips is our third collection of distinctive stories from talented lesbian authors. Joan Nestle, co-founder of the Lesbian Herstory Archives and iconic lesbian activist, honoured us with a fascinating story of one lesbian's joyous life celebrated by those who shared it. Janis Spehr sent in a breathtaking narrative of a housewife struggling to escape a dead-end life. J.E. Knowles, Georgia Beers, JD Glass and Amy McDonald each gave a glimpse into the complexities of significant relationships. Vicki Stevenson reminded us that happy beginnings can happen anywhere, and poet Natasha Carthew offered three short but intense poems for all who have longed and loved. For the first time, we are featuring a photographic exhibit by JRen, who also shot this issue's beautiful covers.

Sweet Afters is about the last course, the indulgent pleasure afterwards. We hope this issue of Read These Lips satisfies in the best way.

Now avail able for download from ReadTheseLips.com.
Enjoy the book.
