My daughter, Jamina, gave me a book on writing memoirs. Your Fragments inspired that Christmas Wish. I am really looking forward to reading your Friday Fragments in 2025. :o)

Oh Matt, dirty glasses annoy me so much. And with technology being so advanced, lenses are crystal clear, so you can see the dust on dust. But anyway, a beautiful piece.

I'm a fastidious glasses cleaner, but often surprised by what I find each time I take out the glass cloth!

You have shared SO much beauty through your Fragments this year, Matt. Wonderful sensory sentences and paragraphs that place the reader alongside you as you gather your astonishingly clear observations. The way you use words - such very good words - is enviable. As Sharron says, another year of Fragments will be a large part of my reading pleasure. Love and hugs from our wee corner of France and the warmest of hopes for a new year. X

So very lovely to see this, and always to have your readership, B. Thank you: you've been a great motivation to keep writing and reading and sharing across this platform this last year, not just as encourager and friend, but also and especially as a writer. Happy new year to you both. x

"I exhaled slowly with open mouth and watched a cumulus of breath travel and fade against the dark corner of the room." Beautiful, Matt. I look forward to your fragments in the coming year.
