This morning the air brings a sense of cleanliness and has no particular scent that I can determine. A gentle chatter of birds sounds from the aerials and chimney pots. I get the sense the day started a while ago for them. Alt text says this week’s photo is a glass jar with a blueContinue reading “MARGARINE TUBS OF MARBLES AND ERASERS”

JUST START AND KEEP GOING
This morning the air is fresh after the rain, the sky is blurred grey and the magpies are sounding their rattles in the trees. I think I can smell horse chestnut leaves; I call it autumnal. My mind is on the changing of seasons and the passing of time. Alt text says this week’s photoContinue reading “JUST START AND KEEP GOING”
BETTER TO BE BORN LUCKY THAN RICH
This morning the air brings gentle hints of autumn. It holds coolness and damp. The seasons are shifting.

POEMS TO MATCH A TEATOWEL
This morning I have to wait for the cool breeze to blow towards me. When it does it brings rosemary and grass. Before that the first scent hanging in the air is curry powder and spices, and I remember clearing the out-of-date jars and stacking them in the recycling box by the front door. AtContinue reading “POEMS TO MATCH A TEATOWEL”
CRUSHED LOVE HEARTS
This morning a cool breeze feels like a refreshing contrast after a super-hot weekend. It brings with it only the smell of smoke. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person taking a selfie. It is indeed and it is me taking a selfie in front of part of Kath’s stand at Wolverhampton Racecourse.Continue reading “CRUSHED LOVE HEARTS”
A BANDSTAND HAT TRICK FOR A SKYLARKER
This morning the air smells of summer. It is warm and brings fuchsia and clover. It is the kind of air that hugs you as you step outside.
