What am I up to this week? Apart from trying to lose those extra kilograms I put on on holiday?
Well February is the month of love; the month we celebrate St Valentine’s Day. So today, a little early, or maybe late, depending on when you are joining me, we are going to hear love haiku, senryū, tanka and haibun.
