Well before even pre-dawn I finally give up the toss and turn to reluctantly climb out of bed. Not before one last desperate attempt to still the now restless mind by nestling in the sleeping form of the wife for a few minutes. Eyes closed and nourished in her warmth and the familiarity of seven … Continue reading Happiness is …

BEYOND
Seven years years, 3 months and 6 days on from the Great Crash, the Great Plague soon after and now the Great storms of Climate Madness. Have no idea why I still mark off the calendar. Friends gone, where? Who knows. Chaos does that. Family? A bit like so called friends, who knows? Up until … Continue reading BEYOND
SUNNY
Sun shining. Blue sky with some lazy day surf below and shoreline Sun dipped in patterned shade (Pic: Chris Round) PREAMBLE Sunny has so many contexts from the cliche to the obscure. This is a small series following that trail from a certain face with a sunny disposition in a game of Rugby, sunny when … Continue reading SUNNY
BELIEF
Belief comes at any time. Sunny, early Saturday afternoon cricket. It comes now in the belief that I will take this catch that the batsman hit my way. No doubt, just dread set certainty, (dread for the batsman that is) that he knows of my firm belief. He finishes looking up from the shot to … Continue reading BELIEF

Big rain last night (at least 50mm - love the new rain guage) and the day is fresh, fresh, fresh! Late morning, on the way to the balcony, … Continue reading NORMAL

TRUTH
DAY 1 Fire in the Sky! Repeated booms, the ground shakes so much that according to news reports 5.2 registered on the Richter scale. It stops. I look around the garden and down in my lap feeling wetness. These 63 years and bladder control is not what it once was. Nope not that. Just the … Continue reading TRUTH
Fire
Wake up. Feel good. Not full tip top of the World, but at last refreshed after a few restless nights in a row. Two hours later, a fatigue creeps into the being. Not so good or refreshing. Mouth turns down. Super glue would have to be applied to keep the lips up for a smile. … Continue reading Fire
Funny
“Bean free”!!, sung to the top of my voice to the tune of “Born free”. Preparing dinner, the wife had just advised we are out of beans. Straight away, the full gusto rendition startled it's way out of the lungs and vocal chords. Unintentional spontaneity it was. She laughed her hearty laugh. Others nearby - … Continue reading Funny
