creep squint

audio of text

sipping coffee with the taste of fresh chopped chilli on my lips
creep squint, crab wise, through the shadowy half light, not convinced by this morning lark?
the rich pong of frying leeks and garlic… it is often thus, organic veg, of various description, malingers in the bottom of the fridge… then at peculiar times of day or night… usher forth center stage, leek it is your time to shine! uncoil Ring tight nestled within Ring
Krishna Das blaring out, the euphoric dirge of a harmonium… perfect for winter… this urge to kindness, softness, whether acknowledged or not, cosseted within sweet nectar darkness
yes, like me, rummage through the ragbag internet for gong baths, and sundry yoga nidra!… rotation of consciousness, now the time for gentle spiral down
… and a pic (not mine) of jaisalmer jain fort, a profoundly peaceful and beautiful place

much yoga nidra here

ebb

audio of text

ebb – season to rue the loss, dwindle, world collapses to stasis
… but reet pretty if you can be bothered to go outside, dawns galore… it’s like theres one every day!
midst the gloaming, to stomp up the cliffs, jump in the puddles… water so still it shatters

was trying to capture the fairy purple feather on this one!
lining up the shot (in every sense) then nosser messi turns up!

RP: Norman Hunter’s looking well.

zing

audio of text

‘it don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that zing’ guzzling juice and colour galore, in hopes of banishing cruel dismal winter!
two fingers up to you forlorn darkness. fructose buzzzzz … finally got a new phone, so back to taking a zillion selfies, gotta love the modern world xx

vitamins… you too can look this crazy

triton

audio of text

triton rising above neptune… one of the many profound and beautiful images from voyager
currently over 13 billion miles from earth… vast and astonishing out there!
watched an iplayer doc on it last night, geek love, 40 years since launch! obviously i was a space mad nut as a teenager
curious the sense of time and distances
carl sagan, the schmaltzy genius of cosmos… brian cox is just a wannabe… had an influence on my world view, ha, as did the cheerfully dubious ‘chariot of the gods’

how far is far…

.. and how near is now… well soon actually, always misremember lyrics…

oh and galileo knew that copernicus was right, when, squinting through his telescope, he observed moons orbiting jupiter… ‘mamma mia, it’s not always about us’… tho admittedly a rather a curious concept to try and get over on facebook

audio of text

ha! yeah the martian was woeful, how is it possible to make such a dull plod of a fascinating notion? yep a martian colony should be achievable
i’m excited by the possibility of alien life on the moons of the outer planets… if thats the case life would be ubiquitous throughout the universe
water, hydrocarbons, energy (presumably geothermal), time… voila! … or the wonderfully named panspermia, life forms on comets, the idea, apparently has been around long before fusty old fred hoyle even x

water

audio of text

water! most convivial of elements… restless in flux, relationship and flow
meandersome, forever the parley, whether playful or brawl
heres me… theoretically preparing for a work skype meeting.. yet mostly pointless pondering the correct and complex elements of photo-ma-static compost composition!
wan winter sun just out of shot, framing device of earth, foreground of bone hard winter concrete, farground of aloof hermit-like lighthouse
just enough of a smidgin slither of sky and air… allowing water to roam!
tho, phew, luckily i can’t grok dates and meeting nary be now, yay

… in other astonishing news… midst the mid november drab… i’ve just descaled the kettle… a new skill, black belt!… think i’ve cracked this working from home malarkey
both kids, blooming cheek, had complained, offending kettle once profoundly dragon scaled… no longer… my green tea (‘supreme matcha green’) now tastes like its made from freshly boiled swimming pool water… after some kid has peed in it
tho to be fair thats how it usually tastes anyway

best boyband posturing, youth on lead scowl, whilst i embody tall

Auds: Is that the new album cover? 😉 x

album! what be these things of which thee speak?… how refreshingly 1980’s… no, as well you know, i’ve always been a ‘one hit blunder’… our 2017 tour shall comprise of turning on the christmas lights in ?? berkhamstead! x

boodha soup

audio of text

boodha soup! butternut squash soup, buddha on the spring board, and err a sainsburys bag… all accompanied by cumbia music
think butternut squash is dull and tasteless? as a vegetarian ever shudder when the only grub on a sunday pub menu is Artisan Drizzled Butternut Gubbins with Risotto
well yes! but on a rainy bonfire eve morning crank up the accordion fuelled colombian rhythms and roast to your hearts content… chuck in chilli and garlic … and yes lots more random stuff
pumpkins! pah! pumpkins are for bumpkins…buddha soup for budapest! FTW!… and ooh ahh fireworks galore later! have a good un x

ah yes pictures of lunch! thats why we invented the internet!

man and marrow

audio of text

a man and his marrow, what with frosts and fogs and frogs and whatknot
i have been forced to harvest my last oh so tender fruits, marrow and smattering of pomme d’oro
summer she be gawn! welcome king winter x

gourd-on is a moron… loved this song when i was a teenager… transpires tis john shuttleworth….
