sunday

it's a sunday morning and i'm watching gardening programmes while getting ready for work. a man in a bandana is picking runner beans. i've been back at work for the past three weeks. one more to go. i'm tired from getting up at six am. my legs feel heavy and i lack the usual spark. perhaps i'm not eating enough high-energy food to get me ( Read more... )

monday
*Albert Camus - The Fall

Sitting in the garden, reading The Doors of Perception, i keep getting attacked by small brightly coloured bugs. It would be fine, if they weren't intent on scurrying across the page i want to turn over. Small red spiders, tiny tiny, like the ones that used to be all over the garden wall back in scotland when we ( Read more... )

Something along the lines of that Grounhog Day film, only I’m alone in the ( Read more... )

tuesday

sitting in the passenger side of the car on the way home last thursday, feet on the seat, sitting next to dad, I couldn’t help wondering about the catfish in the royal museum on chambers street. they swam around and around a mosaic-encrusted shallow pool built in the foyer. no bigger than the length of both my palms placed length to length ( Read more... )
