allotment must wait
by Scooj
- I’ve been looking forward to finishing work all day today to be able to pop up to the allotment before cooking an evening meal. A badly timed shower has goofed up all my timings and my excitement. Tomorrow it will have to be.

Balance
Opposing forces
wrestle with tricky issues
seeking good outcomes

- A difficult meeting at work today, where the desires for profile opportunities and reputation enhancement could risk fabulous public outcomes. I have a philosophy and it is this.
Never seek to be seen to be doing the right thing. Do the right thing and you will be seen.
Kingfisher
First published in May 2015, I felt this haiku deserved a repost. I had kingfishers on my mind.
Slow lowland rivers,
pulling nets for a living,
those halcyon days.

nose to the grindstone.
