FIRST CUP OF TEA

The John Lewis of cuppas - never knowingly under-slurped. ☕

SUNDAY'S VASELINE

Someone's smeared Vaseline on Sunday's filter and it's ready for its misty-eyed close-up. The rain has retreated, muttering to itself that we haven't seen the last of it. A bird hops across a wall as if it's spring operated - which it is, if you think carefully about it.

BRIEF ENCOUNTERS

The gardens at Kerr Towers have burst into bloom. Nature's intricate weaving skills are on display. My Yellow Ladies reveal a Rorschach Test of rich red dots on a pale silken frame. All this effort to attract a bee for the briefest of encounters.

The rest of its time is ours.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Like all true friends, words are often not needed, merely their warm, reassuring presence.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

First ponder of the day - do Australians stir their cuppa anticlockwise?

JEALOUS DAYS

Thursday desperately wants to be Friday - a much cooler day who personally knows the weekend! Thursday's so desperate to be Friday that it's sometimes heard to say "Not long 'til the weekend, eh?"

Friday thinks Thursday is silly.

Friday desperately wants to be Saturday...

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Thursday's ponder; do you think those monkeys ever did finish getting that piano up the stairs?

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Pre-pondering perfection. ☕

THE EDGES OF SEMBLANCE

I wake pre-dawn to a world of dark outlines. Trees and buildings in their simplest form. Light hesitating at the edges of semblance, as if it has just arrived from outer space (spoiler: it has just arrived from outer space) and doesn't quite know which bits it should colour in.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

the anticipation of the first

the expectation of a second

the possibility of a third.

there's a lot more going into your first cup than just tea and boiling water. ☕
