Cold but clear today | winter sunshine finds a way | through the glass to me #dailyhaiku
A mildly abstract picture of sunshine through a window: most of the window is covered with a light-diffusing privacy film, featuring flowers and vines, but at the left you can glimpse greenery outside. It's filtering the sunshine into blobs of light. This side of the window hangs a rectangular pendant of stained glass in mauve, green, purple, red and blue: also a mobile of coloured translucent cats: also a mobile of beach glass.

Another shot from | Luxmuralis, in Greenwich: | so many photos... #dailyhaiku #ornc
Night. On a splendid Baroque facade, dark and light silhouettes of runners (styled like figures on ancient Greek vases) exit right and left, against a reddish background. The sky is very black.

Blissful Saturday | good book, warm blanket, kitty | not going outside #dailyhaiku #caturday
A vibrant fleece blanket in shades of rust and turquoise. (Beneath is a heated electric blanket.) A tabby cat looks at a Kindle, which shows the cover of Robert Jackson Bennett's 'A Drop of Corruption', which I've saved for a cold rainy day like today.

Gorgeous thoughtful art | Time, by Luxmuralis, at | the ORNC #dailyhaiku #ornc
Time, by Luxmuralis - a series of artworks combining light and sound, tailored to the site they're displayed at. Here, the Undercroft at the Old Royal Naval College is displaying text from (I think) H G Wells' 'The Time Machine' on pillars, arches, and the backs of two lads in hoodies. The music felt cinematic, the animations were captivating. Moving elsewhere after tomorrow...

The view from my bed | with heated blanket, and cat: | why must I get up? #dailyhaiku
A diagonal view of a window, with blue sky, a golden-branched tree, and other, darker plant life against a trellis fence. It's literally freezing out there.

Phone games for kitties! | Unfortunately Vronsky | thinks it's a window... #dailyhaiku
On a plush grey (heated) blanket, a tabby cat swipes at a moving blob on my phone screen. This is indeed a phone game for cats, and he loves it - but he keeps turning the phone over to look underneath. Cat claws are too soft to damage the screen.

"You call this a mouse?" | Vronsky is helping me work | so very helpful #dailyhaiku #proofofcat
To the left of the picture is part of a laptop screen. The laptop is on a wooden lap-desk which has a mouse pad and a phone slot. The mouse has been hooked by a fearsome tabby predator, who is eagerly chewing on the cable. I do not have a wireless mouse because the last one was taken away to be tormented under the bed.

A grim evening | hurrah for heated blanket! | Watching 'Frankenstein' #daikyhaiku
A tabby cat loosely curled, anticlockwise, on a grey velvet blanket. His paw is over his eyes, showing his white muzzle. Back toes curled...

A happy kitty | who's keeping me company | while I recover #dailyhaiku
A tabby cat half-curled, half stretched out, on a grey velvet heated blanket. At top right is a corner of a colourful Navajo-style throw in yellow, turquoise, rust and gold, which the cat has hooked his claws into. Meanwhile I am undercat enduring third day of post-dental pain and wishing I could have proper food instead of mashed potato.

Had some dental work: | this little pill was meant to | block anxiety #dailyhaiku
A single pill in silver foil, on a charcoal background with a wooden border bottom left diagonal and a grey fabric border bottom right diagonal. The print on the pill reads 'am 2mg': before it was cut from its original packaging, that would have read Diazepam 2mg. The experiment indicates that 2mg is nowhere near enough... My rock/mashup playlist helped a lot, though.

After Sunday swim | I walked home in the dark, which | was less relaxing #dailyhaiku
An autumn evening: to the left are graffiti'd railway arches: there are dead leaves on the ground: the sky is dark blue, and the streetlights don't illuminate all of the path.

Dozy Caturday | Vronsky helping me relax| tomorrow: do stuff #dailyhaiku
A tabby cat, his tail neatly tucked under one paw, gives a 'shhh, sleeping now' look. He is on a bright red fleece blanket.

Fox, interrupted | by neighbours' dramatic sex | (soundtrack only) #dailyhaiku
A brick patio with lots of dead leaves. A fox with a dark tail and legs, white muzzle and big ears, was feasting on leftover cat food, but was alarmed by a particularly loud climax (possibly faked) from next door.

Does anyone know | how to set my kittycat | back to GMT? #dailyhaiku
A tabby cat looks impatiently at his human, expecting food, although it is over an hour until his teatime (5pm). He has not had the menu about the clocks changing back to GMT. Also, he cannot read. Or tell the time except TEATIME.

Heard the Parliament | Choir singing Puccini and | Bernstein: splendid sounds #dailyhaiku
The interior of Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Street, before the choir (and soloists, including percussion, organ and harp) materialised. Beautiful Victorian Arts&Crafts church with gorgeous acoustics.

Mystery portal | leading from Deptford to ... Well, | it's waiting for me #dailyhaiku
Under a dark brick railway arch there's a dark space - an opening. Abstract silver graffiti with colourful highlights frames it. Just glimpsed at the right of the picture is a tree with golden leaves, in daylight.

Dark evenings are here | but there bright reflected light | and glowing gold leaves #dailyhaiku
A dark night sky, with yellow leaves against it. Just below centre, a not-quite-full moon shines brightly (though it's not nearly as large as it seems to the naked eye).

New Deptford street art | this wall is a palimpsest | hiding years of art #dailyhaiku
A mural of a dark-skinned woman with red hair: her eyes are closed: there's a frog on her head, extruding a long pink tongue.

Just like Spot the Ball: | can you spot the prawn sushi? | A clue: Vronsky can... #dailyhaiku #caturday
A tabby cat sits on a brown furry blanket on a black and white sofa. He stares intently at something just to the right of the camera. He has very fine whiskers.

On a grey day, this | tiny patch of rewilding | cheered me immensely #dailyhaiku
A small patch of bright wildflowers - Michaelmas daisies, dandelions and others - brings colour to a side street above a railway bridge. Behind it is a colourful geometric mural with the word REWILDING in pink.

Sunshine this morning! | And coffee in the garden | snowed with yellow leaves #dailyhaiku
Seen from above, a blue mug of black coffee, with a line of paw prints on the inside rim, steams. It's on a small round table with a pattern of sunflowers and birds. On the table is a yellow leaf; more dead leaves are on the ground, and there's a green grass-like plant on the right of the table. Also featured: the toe of one dark blue slipper.
