Apologia :

To those that receive an email to say a new post has been published. I never realised it sent you the whole post. I type quickly, half the time not really focused, and after published, I then might re-read and adjust, which obviously those receiving the emails wont get. Its rare I’ll delete a whole paragraph, or insert one, but it could happen, likewise, spelling mistakes get missed and my sometimes skewey grammar needs a brush up. I’m not professional, these entries really are just me rambling on, I don’t strive for perfection, so ignore the email post and read the ‘piece’ after a few hours… I guess, apologies ;-). Dag’Dave

The Random musings of a nobody. “Dagenham Dave”, is slang for someone one stop short of Barking (mad), though more contemporarily refers to any wayfaring and carefree person. Dagenham is a town to the eastern side of London (Luds Dominium) that was first recorded in a Barking charter in 666a.d. as the town of Daeccanham. Daecca is an ancient man’s name meaning ‘bright’ or ‘famous’ . Ham is short for Hamlet.
Dave is short for David, Hebrew for ‘Beloved’, My Surname ‘Wenborn’ derives from old English meaning of the Winding Stream.

Contents:-
1/ Book Reviews.
They’re not reviews as such- to recommend or asway, I neither seek to promote nor condemn, more my personal reflections on the books I read. In that respect it’s a subjective thing. I write the reviews as it instils in the mind, like writing down your dreams on waking, the right to remember.

2/ Short Stories and Tales
Short stories borne from imagination, dreams, thoughts and wanderings. Too large to be written in my journal of shadows.

3/ Full Books
Books that were once published elsewhere, I have full copyright on these, and of course given here freely.

4/ Magazines and Articles
Small snippets and articles that may or may not have appeared elsewhere, and information not included in Journal of shadows.

5/ Poetry
A small selection of poetry. Like song, I create as a means to an artistic diary.

6/ WordPress Challenges
Wordpress (where this website is hosted) offer up a daily prompt for people to answer, sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.
