TIME TRICKS

Time ticks so that we do not have to keep a count of our experiences

Time tocks to show us that one thing must follow another

Time stops everything from happening all at once

Time tricks us into believing that.

SOME TUNES AND A DIP

Tuesday arrives apologising for Monday, much how we might apologise for a boring +1 at a friends party. 

Tuesday has nothing to apologise for. Neither boring nor the life and soul, Tuesday's much more practical. Tuesday will always deliver.

Tuesday's brought some tunes and a dip.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

I was just thinking that if you took all the tea drinkers in the world right now and gathered them all together, do you know what?

...there wouldn't half be a lot of washing up to do!

FIRST CUP OF TEA

My very own bag for life.

MONDAY'S APOLOGY

Monday mumbles an apology as it drags us into the week. We put up with its odd idiosyncrasies because memories of the weekend are still quite fresh but cold. A bit like leftovers from a party. They'll be on the turn by Wednesday but by Friday we'll already be cooking new treats.

USING SILENCE

Silent Sunday sidles up with an absence of traffic noise and people. We should make use of this silence. With no light pollution we can see the stars. Maybe Sunday's silence brings with it a clarity of thought, far from the madding crowds, the only day that's a detached dwelling.

ALL BECAUSE...

First cup of tea: abseiling through the window with a cuppa for my wife, wearing my black roll-neck sweater and black trousers -

all because the lady loves milky tea.

EVERY LITTLE HELPS

Saturday arrives as chilly as a public rebuke. My garden's in the midst of allowing Winter to begin to play hide and seek with its colours. Fallen leaves lie generously across my lawn like chocolate shavings on a rather delicious cake. I refill the bird table. Every little helps.

FIRST CUP OF TEA

"Do not sup where the path may lead, sup instead where there is no path and leave a trail and a fanfare for the common man."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Lake and Palmer - probably.

AWAKENING - a haiku

I open my eyes

And the whole world tumbles in.

Blink and you'll miss it.
