May 25th, 2022. After a nine year hiatus developing "Pets 'n' Friends", the time has come to update the whole of this website! January 1st, 2013. The whole of the last 18 months has been spent working on "Pets 'n' Friends", an app providing endless fun with online pets. I regret being unable to upate my poetry and photography during this period, but sadly I have been working flat out on PnF since the end of April 2011. July 4th, 2011. 52 new poetry readings have been added to the readings page. They are marked 'new', mostly near the bottom of the page. January 2011.

I shall be going through my back catalogue of photos and presenting them in this compact form as opportunity allows.

June 3rd, 2009. At long last, the 'Cartoons' page is showing the "Daily Adventures of Tweety Pi". It's a picture story developed on the Facebook (fluff) Friends app, and is basically a comedy. The software has taken four months to develop, and it will soon be enabling me to create photographic slide shows on the photography pages. I've also changed the entire site (excepting pop ups) to run as PHP; that will allow a lot more development in future.

February 13th, 2009. The 'Poetry' page has been redesigned, and two new pages added to cover my as yet incomplete works, summarised as 'The Arthurian Project', and 'Iconic Rose'. 'Iconic Rose' is essentially a book inspired by the second Muse, whereas 'Portrait of the Artist as a Lone Tree' was inspired by the first.

January 29th, 2009. There are now audio links on the pages for 'Aurorielle' and 'Portrait of the Artist as a Lone Tree'.

Somewhere in the north of England, a badger and a mongoose meet when they take shelter in a derelict house. They don't like the same food, they don't like the same clothes, they can't agree on how to make the house habitable and they'd both rather be somewhere else. But when the council threatens to remove the 'infestation', the indignant mongoose sets the badger to work making a home, while she goes off to give the officials a piece of her mind.

Dave Knight's third book of poetry also contains a delightful selection of other animal poems, with a starring role for Professor Minsky, cat of a thousand wiles. The 'Assonant Animals' poems - first seen in 'Portrait of the Artist as a Lone Tree' - are also included.
