Put pen to paper;
compose salutations for
family and friends.

So this is where the
legal folk work, preparing
for battle in court.

Gridlock
The city is at
a standstill; not the best time
to queue for a bus.

Home sweet homeless
Atop the steps, my
bedroom under vaulted skies;
open plan living.

Painting and decorating
Painting ceilings is
a mugs game unless your name
is L. da Vinci.

Squat pigeons
Perched high, defiant
grey skies above, squat pigeons
wait for the Winter.

‘Tis the season to be jolly
You know times are hard
when you see Father Christmas

Barry Gray and your
ondes martenot; music so
sophisticated.
by Scooj
- Barry Gray was the genius behind all the music in the Gerry Anderson productions: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett, Joe 90, UFO and Space 1999 amongst others. Incredible ’60s and ’70s music, big band, first synthesisers…just incredible. I went to a concert celebrating his music in Bristol this week. Unbelievable music for children’s programmes.

I always wanted
a buckskin jacket, like the
one Roddy Frame wore.

- I saw a man wearing a buckskin jacket on my way to work this morning. It was perfect, and it reminded me of my lifelong desire to own one. Now I am 50-something I feel like I have earned the right to treat myself to one, and guess what…I’m going to do it.
