My heffalump and our friends

On Friday I completed the first draft of my journey of poems recording the adventure with Norman to death and beyond. It is a gathering of a great many poems, which I will now have to trim down significantly.

I sent notice of this state of affairs to friends, saying that I suppose I shall have to reduce what is currently the size of a Savannah elephant to the size of a Forest elephant - and one of those friends sent me this image.

Nothing could express better than it how I currently feel!

It is, once again, a confirmation of one of Norman's and my favourite quotations (adapted from Yeats) - "May we by our friends be known."
