In the pink

The last few weeks I've been mostly in our verandah, fixing the aging masonry (with the help of the neighbours, who pointed up their side of our old verandah wall)...


...painting, filling, fixing, more painting and tending our garden (Mom tends her plants, and I mine)...


(Mom also trims the hedge, and cuts the lawn, and everything else)

...I love the view from the newly painted verandah...


...and I love the accidental harmony of pinks, it's quite by chance that every plant I've bought or grown this year (except for the sunflowers) have hovered around the pinkish purplish, reddish end of the spectrum.


I've done no artwork, and am begining to feel a little rough with uncreativity. I never feel well when I don't work, either on my artwork or my writing. Partly to compensate, I've begun building an archive of my poetry on my website, publishing one poem from every year I have written (or I have saved digital versions of my poetry).

I've not polished any poetry for a couple of years, though I've written in small bursts. Small bursts have occured recently, usually when I'm very very tired. Writing in the dark is often the only kind of writing I can do. I don't know why that should be.

Dogged by GRRRRRRRRR

I've just soothed my savage nerves with a bowl of Tiramasu icecream after an evening dogged by PC failures of various kind. I've been seriously pugilistic with my laptop, it's a surprise that it works at all.

But finally, 4 and a half hours later, I've managed to upload my website.

I'm hoping to make a few changes over the next few weeks. A new banner to start with...


...a new gallery and a few other tweaks.

If my pc keeps on playing, that is.
