These the weeks of leaf spawn
every branch, every tree, bud burgeoning forth, stickily, unfurling into a majesty of leaf and blossom
something of gossamer, a slither, a shimmer, each bush, coming into the pomp of full summer regalia
yesterday in surrey, midst the sunshine, the hillside awash with the blowsy froth spray of white blossoms
a tumult upon us! tho long the clandestine growth, a surreptitious summoning
each branch, so recently a brittle looking stick, dowdy within its surround of mud puddle, now, pulsing with lurid colour and vibrancy
the tweetle twerp of bird song!… rapture in miniature… the local, the particular… this is mine… yes! i am here!
whatever the creak of bone, the reluctance of limb, so too, this season always makes my heart sing

ha! i write the same thing every time, as does the spring… making, imagining, the same different same… its rhythmic, insistent beauty
…………………………..
….. classic portmanteau post…. i finally turned the clock in the car forward… yes, as well you might have noticed, the seasons have changed
and heres Finns brief vid of ping pong… impressive he filmed anything one handed… just a genteel warm up, but such a reassuring sound the plunkety plonk… and i rather enjoyed the finale of his failed lunge and groan!

Blimey O’Reilly got a postcard from Finn (away working on a ski season)
Astonishing! Suspicious parent suspects he must want something??? yet there is always the slender possibility he’s entered the realm of compassionate humanity
In other news i’m allergic to all the beautiful flowers in the world, can’t stop sneezing
or possibly i’m allergic to work? yes yes. oh and managed to put more memory in computer, just sticklebrick click it in, now it will vroom… and not a breeze what my phone number currently is? old one or new one? neither? both?
end of enthralling news flash x

La La La America

ha. mid 90’s, drive away extravaganza, new york to miami, hurtling along thru the kaleidoscope of leaves on the appalachian sky way, plummeting to the sunshine, then dog legging up to san fransisco via.. er.. south america, a punk extravaganza in austen, alburqueque, sunrise at the grand canyon… and .. and… AND… adventure ..and.. and taco bell quite often… thanks to mel for exhuming the pic — with Richard Pendry.
