Lapsed writer. Through a series of unfortunate events I have been handed the gift of time.
pinned post!
Dear, Whoever It Is I Buy Something From. When you post something through my letterbox please don't ask - How was your experience? - it's a delivery, not Alton Towers. I'm getting cheesed off being asked to be the HR department for every company I do business with.

A house full of relations and I'm laid up on my bed with my legs raised due to quite alarmingly low blood pressure. It will pass. An occasional side effect of some of my meds. I'm sad that I'm missing out but the sound of laughter and fun that is seeping through from below is a fine tonic. ๐

Gustav Klimt was 17 years old in 1879 when he drew (with charcoal and black chalk) this portrait of a young girl. His superb technical ability as a draughtsman is evident even as a teenager in the way he uses shadow to create a three-dimensional picture on paper.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

I shouldn't have gone with my third guess. I broke a basic rule of Wordle that would appear obvious if you could see it! ๐ Still, Four Club is acceptable even if it isn't noteworthy. Good luck everyone. ๐๐ค Wordle 1,785 4/6 โฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐จโฌ โฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฉโฌ ๐จ๐ฉโฌ๐ฉ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ

We never had council elections in Northampton. We had them last year and Reform took overall control. How's it going, you ask? Council taxes raised by max allowed by law (less 0.04% for the pedantic). Black bin bag collection to move from every 2 to every 3 weeks.

We spend an inordinate amount of time just waiting. I'm currently in the car park of a doctor's surgery for my mother-in-law who is waiting inside. Oh for a machine that could store this waited time for use at our leisure! Science fiction fantasy? I can wait.

I said when Trump was re-elected that he would do everything within his powers to stay on for a 3rd term. I mentioned him staging a 'Reichstag Fire' moment or moments to declare a national state of emergency. I don't think that the Iran War is that moment, which is frightening. How far will he go?

Early stroll. Birthday cards on a windowsill as signifiers of passing time. A man in a bright room reads with a magnifying glass. A custard-yellow traffic cone. My soaked hat. Someone gets out of a car, sees me and grimaces as he points to the sky.
