Just wrote this:

With every passing moment, the heat grew. The merciless sun beat down upon the exiles, washing over them in scorching waves which left them utterly exhausted.

Pretty pleased with it. 😁

I see you
Sitting there
With your mug
Of cocoa
Steam rising
To your face
Your hands
Tightly wrapped
Around its
Warming body
You look at me
And smile

May seem mad to a lot of people but if we keep voting for the lesser evil in perpetuity, evil still wins and things will only keep getting worse.

Lovely walk, which turned into a bit of an unexpected adventure due to some flooding which, in the light, provided some beautiful photo opportunities.

It's been a rather *interesting* week. Gas work at home at the start and a tyre blowout on the motorway on the way to work yesterday...

Just off to get a new tyre. 🚗

Curled up
In blankets
On the sofa
Warm and snug
And yet so
Utterly cold
And empty
Without you

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.
