Flowers and filth. Winds and rains is cold. Sun is warm. A dry leaf in winter. Where are my shoes?

There was a time when the Nazis had the “best” uniforms. These guys are slobs. Not up there with the dreadful Ski yoghurt family and their “full of fitness food”. substack.com/@james1940/n...

There are monsters that seek to silence, lock up and remove. They take forms, dress in the cloth of leadership and freedom. And they would sacrifice us all for their ends.

youtu.be/Fp_MVc3abXU It seems I no longer exist in the great scheme of things. My bank no longer recognises me after 30 years. But somebody did and stopped to give me a lift back for the last mile. It was quite warm today and I was very grateful.

Tomorrow I shall walk the mile or two to catch a train to town and visit a bank to release some money to get the damn car fixed. So I can work for those who have more money than sense.

Orford Ness. Ever-shifting shingle of economy, fleeting victory and decay. Conversations were had here that might not be had elsewhere. I thought of Tarkovsky’s “Stalker”.

Things I thought were dead posh as a kid: 1. My father farting confidently and shamelessly in only his dressing gown on a Sunday morning. 2. The Sunday Times scattered, all over the garden, by the breeze while my mother slept upon a sun lounger after a heavy bbq.🧵

🌱Need to up my gardening game to accommodate heat, drought and cold winter wet on a heavy soil. Don’t rush for “drought tolerant” plants. There is more to it. The flowery mead has been good this year. Shading grasses and deep roots of self-established perennials. The formal borders struggle. 🧵

As good today as it’s always been. My mother’s friend Hilary gave me this when I was 13. It’s dropping to bits now. My sperm’s in the gutter, my love’s in the sink. Cats are on the upgrade. Mrs G calls it nursery music. Hours of reading.

🌱Nice one-off pruning job today above the Stour Estuary. Tee shirt weather. A herd of black sheep (Hebridean?) suddenly appeared. There was a path down to the foreshore.
Expanse of daffodils in short grass. Two maturing trees in foreground. One winter bare the other a pine. In the distance more bare trees. Behind those and below the River Stour. Across the water the Essex side of the river.A herd of black sheep graze. Background of young and mature trees and Stour estuary.View of foreshore, tide out, looking seaward. Mud, pebbles, seaweeds and water pools. Sky almost clear.
