Please note that this newsletter post will automatically be archived in 1-2 weeks. After which it goes into my secret section for paid subscribers. 💗
HellOoo 🙂 Chasers! 💗
Welcome to this (almost too ‘on-time’ to be true!) ISSUE for SUNDAY 29 OCTOBER 2023 which features the usual accompanying recording which I like to keep fresh as an alternative to what you read in the images below so this recording contains the first 10 stanzas of the poem THE BALLAD OF READING GAOL the only poetry in this newsletter today as the images are artwork and short quotes. I have to save space for my newsletter update announcement - don’t roll your eyes yet. Its a good update. STILL FREE to SUBSCRIBE and the only changes are improvements and additions to the current template. Nothing being hidden or taken away. If you scroll down near Hunter’s Moon ‘banner photograph’ I sort of blurt it all out in a little explanatory chat.
Tonight's recording speaks for itself and is well worth listening to as it includes my introduction to Oscar Wilde’s Ballad & I read through the first ten stanzas

Oscar Wilde - The Ballad of Reading Gaol
If you haven't already had a listen to the accompanying recording please consider doing so as I refrained from posting the entire poem or even the first 10 stanzas that I read to you instead or maybe if not for you possible you might know somebody who will enjoy this newsletter? if so then please consider sharing. Thank you..💗
An Announcement That Doesn’t Cost a Penny.. I just wish to convey my plans and methods in madness with you.
Last night I managed to capture the HUNTER’S MOON without actually knowing what it was, and still not knowing exactly what it is - only that it seemed to be throbbing in the sky and much larger a full moon than usual hence why I thought to take a photo. I had this image on my previous newsletter just ‘showing off’ my skills on how to press filter buttons and calling it 'digital art’ hahaha but now I know the moon is even more important than usual (but not according to a poem written by Bobby Parker in his own poetry book Blue Movie) if you have no idea what or who I am talking about have a look at my previous newsletters before they go behind a paywall in archive. I hadn’t wanted to put anything particular to my ‘Secret Section for Paid Subscribers’ because I am always transparent and I’m not there yet! I will end up having to hide some things in a safe section for the sake of sensitivity and stuff. In the meantime, I thought about future subscription offers for monetary purposes… I would have no content to offer. So, that’s my plan of action. Instead of writing in advance secret shit for future readership and locking it away from my loyal first subscribers - my veteran Chasers! I couldn’t possibly sleep at night doing something so superficial and shady… I am under no illusion that in the future I will have some banging content for me and my most loyal Chasers (speaking about money is “Vulgar” as my old Nana used to say) I guess it had rubbed off on me because, right now I am burning up, my cheeks have gone tighter around my face and I feel embarrassed. I’m not a greedy person but I am a bit too much for just anyone it takes a certain type of person to tolerate my moods. The tone in my writing will soar and dip dependant on mood and I have secrets and the mind of filthy old sailor sometimes - I say that very affectionately! The archive system is set up to sow seeds for the future and soon I shall be updating The Daily Chase template to incorporate more written work from me. More interaction between us all. For now, go back to the top and read the images now before the archive door opens and sucks it all in - like me trying to fit into a pair of jeans! x
I usually finish with a scrumptious scratched photograph of moi… I pick this one! xx
Finally, a HUGE THANK YOU FOR READING 💗 please consider showing some love with a heart or a share, I would love to see you come back..xxx
Before I go I'd like to leave you with this song which I found during ‘research’ - brilliant!
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE 🙏😊
