In a fleeting moment of a restless day. Faffing and frittering like a good 'un. Fond of cake and ice cream, especially with a book. Open water swimming novice/trainee. Keeping on keeping on. Posts regularly deleted.
And then comes the sudden lurch of 'Heading for the Airport'. A backward glance at ageing Mum on the balcony, 'No way to know/ I'd never see you alive again.' Ouf! These slender poems pack in whole lifetimes. Sharp nips of grief & comforting ache of remembrance. 📖 🛫
You just know he's reading them The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists at bedtime.

First class mail, they put it into sacks and say "we must sort that out in a minute." Second class mail they just put into sacks.
Wake up to two new arrivals into my Borrowbox account and a library reservation ready for collection. Satisfying start to the day.
I've never wanted a tattoo but I'm actually thinking that having "What would Dolly do" on my wrist wouldn't be a bad idea.
Just burst into tears. Goodness me. May the Lord bless you and keep you. What a legacy. Beautiful, outside and in.
Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.
We're on celery soup so as a reward we get to decide between dark chocolate sorbet or chocolate ice cream for tonight's Creami adventure.
I will miss being able to use the bathroom mirror after a shower. It is just not in me to welcome this season, even after a purgatorial summer.
On which cheery note, time to get ready for the funeral.

You too can start your day with a game of solo twister. Not recommended with morning after the night before reflux.

Packet of malted milk biscuits demolished. And so it begins. Every sodding autumn.
Out of 7 people in a room today (for an unrelated meeting), 3 had solar panels and an air pump installed at their house. It seems things ARE changing.
Next up, on Borrowbox and apparently only 211 pages, which these days is very welcome
Very good. I am now tempted to hie me to a monastery (Benedictine nuns reside in a monastery, not a convent)
Air fryer toasties have rekindled my interest in toasties. So crisp! Anyway, home alone until later this afternoon so I'm going to make the most
The only thing I bought at the Flower Show yesterday (despite the many temptations) were seeds from Robinson's for this tomato plant to grow next year. Just one plant in this pot!
Now a friend and I are spending a lot more time in swimhats and goggles, I decided to splash out on these @gailmyerscough.co.uk prints for us.
Has anyone experience of custom foot orthotics? I had a digital test today and the spiel sounded convincing but £380 for two bits of plastic 😬. Please feel free to share, this is a bit niche!
About to retire with an Agatha Christie someone on here recommended and a gel ice pack I just found in the freezer. Forgot we had it.
Up late finishing this. Read in one sitting. Going to bed feeling a bit choked.
Yoga, meditation, bipolar diagnosis and hospitalisation, refugees on Leros, Martha Argerich. You're never bored reading Emmanuel Carrère.
PLEASE SHARE THIS To the young person (longish dark hair, patterned waistcoat, chinos & DM boots) who left this scroll of papers on the Piccadilly Line train at South Kensington station at about 4.25pm today, I’ve handed it to the station staff at Hammersmith.
This is giving me "public toilet ten minutes up a 1 in 3 gradient from a Devon beach that has been closed down when you get there"
