I am sad to say that Peter Phillips has not been well and was admitted to hospital during the week.
I do not have further news of his condition, but I hope his health is improving.
Les or Roy will have more information on this matter.
Peter is a Life Member and a major asset to the Men’s Shed over the many years he has been there.
I wish Peter a speedy recovery.

THE FISH-TANK AND ME - A short story by Victor Kirwan
The Fish-Tank and Me is a darkly comic noir tale driven by sharp dialogue, unreliable narration, and escalating menace. The story builds tension effectively through claustrophobic scenes and gallows humour, culminating in a brutal, ironic reversal that suits its hard-boiled tone. While the violence is confronting, it serves the narrative’s moral ambiguity and character study of power, fear, and self-justification. Overall, it’s a gripping, unsettling read that lingers for its voice and audacity.
