Tumultuous Autumn

Frightfully funny?

Why do the shops and schools, and Homes fill with giggles at ghouls and gore and ugly imaginary frights for shuddering at shadows, but say it’s all...

Don’t feel 'at home'

By Rhiannonw on Sun, 20 Oct 2024

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] I do not feel ‘at home’ here, an ‘alien’ now exiled, for evil things are done here and everything’s defiled...

Am I …, have I … ?

Lion-like pride or a rhino-thick hide, vain as a peacock or sneaky as a fox, sly as a snake or a flattering cat, prickly as a porcupine, stubborn as...

I don't think I understand

Posted on Sun, 25 Feb 2024

I don't think I understand the 'warm gun' phrase though maybe it is conjuring up how we can selfishly grab what will (we think) bring us happiness, without care for harm that the action may bring to others.

I like your concentration on the...

Posted on Sat, 24 Feb 2024

Your picture (attractively written) is of matter coming from nowhere and suddenly light, and suddenly the matter arranging itself. That does seem rather remarkable to assemble into complexity unless guided, and that by an extreme intelligence and...

Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024

I liked the way you described open and friendly smiles that open up a link. But your later comments show how despite the genuine friendliness, alcohol prevents a real openness, and dims the sense of need or work for others' needs. So much going...

Thank you. It was just that

Posted on Thu, 22 Feb 2024

Thank you. It was just that last part we had to scramble up as there is a carpark below (full of puddles and potholes!). The 'giant golf ball' can be seen from afar (as a tiny golf ball catching the sun!) looking like an observatory but I think...

thank youk, Dougie. I have just been reading your latest post.!

I think in Britain there are still so few that realise that the so-called evidence for life evolving (as opposed to small changes in variation within species) is crumbling and...

Posted on Wed, 21 Feb 2024

I found your poem and that of Kipling (which I hadn't read before) interesting and descriptive of the pull of the open space (I imagine a similar pull felt often by many to be up in mountainous widlerness) and the conflict of danger and...

Posted on Fri, 16 Feb 2024

What a wonderful walk! And that because you have eyes to see, and in such description! (I had not heard the word 'claggy' before. Looked it up as I thought you had invented it, like my sinky!). You bring to life the feeling of fresh breezy air...

Bent on putting people off

Posted on Thu, 15 Feb 2024

Bent on putting people off their food? People seem very varied in their sensitivity to scents and smells. When we used to pcinic when out walking my husband used to want me to sit down-wind when eating my much beloved banana as he said it...

Some thoughtful comments and gatherings of info. The history of the region is so complex. I have heard that actually Ukraine is older than Russia. But boundaries and people movement within continents have been so fluid at times probably. How much...

Evocative. Reminds of 'Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits' which my mother was fond of quoting. Those without baths must find another haven for just stopping off gird if only for a few moments, like sleep. Clear the mind,...
