50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (May 1, 2023)
My daughter, who turns nine tomorrow, had a play date with a friend from school for the first time, and could barely breathe for telling me, on her return, about all the 'cool stuff, so much cool stuff' she had in her 'huuuuge house that had a gym and a pool' and especially about a lawn where they could 'play hide and seek for years and still not get found!' That's a waste of a good lawn I said, when it could be used for sitting and barbecuing and pondering. 'But it was sooo huuuuuge' was the reply. Yes but huge lawns need tending and work and sweat and sometimes money to keep them looking pretty and green, I said, and despite the enjoyable beers that always follow that kind of effort, sometimes it's nice just to have a small patch of green, like we do, because it's easier. 'Not really, coz their green is grassier', was my daughter's perfect reply.
