The first sit at a new seat. Looking out at a new old street. Sweet golden bark and roots. Spilling out on broken pavement My heart beats. Some nostalgic music and fresh air blue sky and green leaves White paint and dirty brickwork. atomic mess - I cannot describe the presence of time. The bursting … Continue reading Flitting (In Summer)
Fractal Protein: A cautionary tale

Shed Story #3
The shed smelt of warmth. Of trapped air and micro-debris from the surrounding garden, which had lived in the carpet off-cuts of its floor for years. As summer came again, the air remained still, in the late evening unseen rays of twilight would shine through dusty glass onto the still air. A lead-topped-peaked roof barely … Continue reading Shed Story #3

Genghis Khan This is really a list for my own records, when I struggle to remember my own name some kind soul can pop these on in the background as I watch the birds. You should know that on this computer there is also a fantastically … Continue reading Mr Hummels’ Great big film review in the sun
