THE BOOK OF TIME

Time's the only book that's written by everyone you've ever met and everyone you'll ever meet. Some say the ending's unwritten. Some say there's an unreliable narrator at work. Me, I just enjoy the words at every turn of the page. Remember, even those minor characters matter.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Bobbing about on Lake Ponder.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Who is April Fools and why does she have her own special day. 🤔☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Old-school AI, the Magic 8-Ball of brews, the soothsayer, where you'll find all the answers you'll ever need at the bottom of that first cup, particularly the answer to the question - 'Shall I have another cup?'

FIRST CUP OF TEA

And my first ponder of the day - who gets our lost hour? It must have gone somewhere. Is it kept in a drawer for when the clocks go back again in the autumn? Has it gone Down Under to play with the Australians? It'll probably be down the back of our sofas. Most things are. 

ADONIS

Adonis was the son of Kings,

And probably his sister.

He might have been good-looking 

But he had six-finger blisters!

FIRST CUP OF TEA

My first few ponders of the day...

How many sips in an average mug?

Will it rain today?

I think there's about 25.

Hmm. There's washing needs doing.

Maybe 30.

It can wait until tomorrow.

Will it rain tomorrow? 

Nah. Probably 25.

Probably.

THE ̶R̶H̶Y̶M̶I̶N̶G̶ FEATS OF A WAKING POET

I wake to a weekend full of joy and  promise,

But nothing rhymes with 'promise',

Well, maybe there's 'pumice'.

But that's not right for an early morning tweet.

Who really wants to read about the rubbing of feet? 🤔🦶🦶

FIRST CUP OF TEA

One single ponder

to start the day,

leads to two single ponders

I think I'll stay.

Two single ponders

now turns into three,

and this is the magic

of that first cup of tea.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"Of all the cups in all the world, this teabag had to stroll into mine." - what Humphrey Bogart said off set during the filming of Casablanca - probably. ☕
