  • L3 (Day 72): Three Score

    What a day of light to enjoy before this year’s Spring Equinox. Even before I drew back my bedroom curtains the day sounded sunny. The air was soft. The birdsong sharp. The sound of passing cars subdued. It has been a delight to get outside and walk on more open ground by the Yare, once →

  • On Branches

    Above these thick limbs the canopy frame prepares to harvest sunlight ~ CLP 18/03/2021 →

  • L3 (Day 71): The Waterfront

    This hulk retains buoyancy despite it all, but to what end? Is remaining afloat enough? Is there still life in this wreck? ~ CLP 18/03/2021 →

  • L3(Day 69): Ber Street

    What a sight. This site to let. Things can only get better. ~ CLP 16/03/2021 →

  • On Knowing

    All the sky’s power conducted to Earth down this narrow metal strip ~ n.b. As soon as I saw it I knew what it was. I was struck by the fact that I had not been this close to a lightning conductor before, yet eventually recognised it for what it was, not unlike Love. ~ →

  • L3 (Day 60): On The Quay

    It is six p.m. and the day’s light withdraws reluctantly at the ignition of the street lamps. Fish are snapping through the meniscus of the Wensum. They leave soft rippling circles that are eventually smoothed by the thickening dusk. Another lighter, but cold day. ~ CLP 07/03/2021 →

  • L3 (Day 59): At The Market

    On the bike to Paul’s Butchers and then through the stalls to the friendly family-run, most expensive greengrocer outside The West End of London. This is a place everyone knows isn’t the cheapest place to buy fruit and veg in the city, but it’s the chirpiest and exemplary quality produce too. That’s good enough for →

  • L3 (Day 55): In The Post

    I receive an invitation to attend a Covid Vaccination Centre within the next week or so. The nearest centre offered by the NHS website I am directed to is 36.7 miles away. Meanwhile, 500 metres up the hill here is a Covid Vaccination Centre. It was brassic today, the weekend was clearly a Fools’ Spring. →
