Maybe Aspen
14°C, grey, mizzle
How dull misty wet, it’s dripping from every free standing object. I want to be westwards.
Perhaps Rosie is appreciating her sheep-effect rug more than that canine-jumper. Tasteful huh?
Revenge of the Lawn
19°C, warm rain.
A utilitarian choice of read. Bedtime is time for a short read for me. It has ot be short because lying down makes me fall asleep- even in daytime. This book is full of short stories, I say it like that because there are so many of them in a thin book. One of them is only a few lines long. It’s nice to just to read his voice, though often the stories hold a pang of some sort that only Brautigan can reach in my (limited) experience.
Succession (contingent upon)
15°C, clear, minimal breeze
Secession: could this be the word I am looking for? We need (as you know from previous posts on here) a word for the process of nature reclaiming derelict man-made sites.
this Beech is watching you from Beaudesert.
On second thoughts, Succession is pretty close to the idea I had in mind, see here: Wiki
Seaside-gulls are inland
15°C, winds brewing
Have the gulls moved away from the seas. There are plenty here, mostly the usual inland landfill-site-gulls, but now there are a few sea gull making the seaside gull sound. Maybe there is some truth in the story that they fly inland to escape the big storms out at sea. There is a big low system bearing down the northern approaches.
Central heating day
15°C, cooler, but the sun is still colourful
NEWS: "People don’t wear clothing to keep warm any more".
This rings true, and has been a cause of friction in this house over the years. It strikes me as obscene to switch the house heating on before you have started to add layers of clothes to keep warm. Today is supposedly "Central heating day". Sounds like media nonsense to me, but I have known this happen. Can’t forsee switching on until after October though.
longer is easier
17°C, brightening
Made it half-way home before remembering something left behind. The ride back then added 8 miles to the total journey. But contrary to expectation that made the ride home easier. It’s all about the benefits of a good warm up. I can only conclude that cycling to work would be easier if work was further away.
Morning briefing & a bit of assembly.
Cadair instead
15°C, dry, light cloud NW
Interesting, interesting days.
Went to Cadair Idris instead. I’ll be going through every step of this weekend in my head in my head over the next week.
Ask me when you see me.
Cloudbase
15°C, light clouds
Planning another jaunt to Wales this time without Rosie, that means Tryfan is a possible climb, but not going if the cloudbase is less than 2,000ft. Otherwise it’s Rhinog Fawr.
Viewed from Rhinog Fach. I don’t know how I am going to approach this one yet. Wish me luck.
Damn strangeness
18°C, clear, brightness from above. Colours everywhere
Damn, this has been a strange day.
Dry cough and me in this bull-suit. Keep out of Crockery shops for best results.
It started with such virtue. Yours not understanding.
