week away from work

Afternoon dog walk

On a damp hillside
I sit while the dog works hard
top dog, under dog.

Interesting fact… the terms top dog and under dog are derived from (woodland) saw pits where the worker at the top end of a double ended saw was called the top dog and the worker in the saw pit underneath with all the sawdust dropping down was called an under dog.

Bad timing
End-of-tunnel light

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
by Scooj
- 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.
