Strike one off the bucket list

 

With spraycan in hand

two hours of heavenly joy;

ah! the smell of paint.

  • At last I got my hands dirty today, or at least I didn’t because I had to wear horrible rubber gloves. Ths is my very first time holding a spraycn after being given some basic instruction by the lovely Loch Ness. It did not turn out quite how I wanted, but it has left me with an unquenchable thirst for more. Finding the time, the wall and affording the paint are going to be my next challanges. I have lots of ideas in my head, and everyone says it is all about practice. A red letter day.

Back door

I can’t remember

a summer as good as this,

back door left open.

White good interruption

 

Washing maching beeps

persistently insistent;

blooming annoying.

The squeeze

.

High-maintenance kids

and elderly frail parents;

squeezed generation.

England v Colombia

 

Anticipation

a nation’s expectation,

exasperation?

Drying day

 

More hot air and wind

than any amount produced

in old Westminster.

  • The fine weather continues. This is the first proper summer I can remember since my youth.

Cinnabar moth

Biohazard stripes

advertising toxic taste

on ragwort flowers.

Race for life

In a sea of pink

mother and daughter running

but can I find them?

No contest

 

France – Argentina

or take down the trampoline;

easy decision.

Occupation

 

Large windows offer

fleeting moments of escape,

then it’s back to work.
