Low pressure


Oh look it's raining.

I had cheese on toast for breakfast.

I put petrol in the car yesterday so I don't need to fill it again today.

The Night-Scented Stocks are doing well.

The clouds have come down low over the hills, shrouding the trees in a mysterious and romantic mist, so I am going to go to the window and photograph them for you.



Now I find they have lifted in the two minutes it took me to write this rubbish. Fuck it. Today is a write-off.

      You know they way they call Birmingham 'The Venice of the North'? What do they call Norwich?

    Sing a couple of verses of The white cliffs of Dover in a Vera Lynn voice, and all will be well.

      I tried that, and it didn't work... THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME AND MAKING ME LOOK FOOLISH IN FRONT OF MY SO-CALLED FRIENDS.

    Thank you for recommending No Name in your prior post. I often listen to the BBC Radio stories while drawing, painting or knitting, and have been a great Wilkie Collins fan since first reading The Moonstone...about 60 years ago. Seems like yesterday.

    As I was reading your posts and typing this comment, several very loud jets flew over my neighborhood. For a moment I thought...oh no, this is it. However, I now think it might have something to do with a speech Trump is giving in adjacent state Connecticut today. Scary, though.

    Best wishes.

      I don't think fighters would bomb Manhattan - not US ones anyway. North Korea maybe.

      We didn't think those planes would fly into the Twin Towers either. Saudi chaps.

    Actually, with my simple mind I found your today's post newsy and interesting. I am glad your stocks are doing well - I can almost smell them from here now that there has been some rain. So you see - not a wasted post at all.

      Many of my posts - actually all of them - are made with you in mind right now Weave. Not exclusively, but you are always in my mind. I try not to mention Grope Lane, for instance.

    I enjoyed this post!

    Sometimes, you just have to say Fuck It and hit Publish. What the hell.

    Cheers! x
