Thinking about months as opportunities to round things off.

Trying to hear the blackbirds through the noise of a tree being felled next door.

Trying to ride an unsettled feeling and enjoying the end of the ringing festival.

Taking a day out from the ringing festival and pottering to the hum of lawn mowers.

Enjoying the pleasures of Knocklofty on a sunny, cool day.

Rain, glorious rain and listening to Matthew Sweet bringing the archives alive.

Free Thinking. Matthew Sweet and the Archives

Enjoying the scent of roses, sweetpeas, honeysuckle and eucalypt, and looking forward to the prospect of a cooler change.

A very hot day contemplating the way my birth narratives are unfolding.

Walking to the shop and pondering creative history walks after reading Nonstop Metropolis.

Feeling rested and centred and enjoying the day.
