Ah, I wondered what this little guy was all about. I snapped him during a visit to Newcastle in August.

Seasonal pic of the day.
Reaching, yearning, searching
The parts of my body
Now changing
Shifting with time
Unfamiliar but still familiar
I am still rooted

The air was filled with the sight and sound of migratory birds.
They land ,and I try to capture them as they surveyed a small loch, my camera lens whirs in to focus and they take flight. This clumsy lumbering human is no match for their grace and beauty.

Finished this in the wee small hours after a sleepless night. My library book group read. Slowly builds up into a dark, menacing, claustrophobic tale.

Och I’m a day late, sorry.
Just finished this book which I first read in the mid ‘80’s. I have to confess I skipped over the abattoir chapters this time as well. It shouts of the difficulties of being working class and a creative. I got frustrated by Mat at times, and felt sorry for Helen, his wife.

In large print from the library. Desperately waiting for cataract surgery which may take a year, and should have been referred before now. Things could be worse. Thanks to the Ulverscroft foundation for these large print books.
