he called early with the news
later ian came and we felled
the last of the saplings
kenny helped pulled the last one
away from the telephone line
that connects to his house

i don’t mind it
being private
though I do dispute wiki having
opinions
i know it to be fact
and rightly so
those sell by dates are guidance
those some things live longer
we agreed to disagree only
never verbalised as such
we are still in lock down
and are locked in
metaphorically
gently
now that sounds cold
i remember mum leaving the water tap running
in winter
the pipes were lagged in the outside toilet
and I hated that place both waiting outside
and the feel inside
the conversations about such a thing
at all
the cold when there was no heating
anywhere
except the fire
reserved for drying the clothes
mainly
gran’s house much the same
though folk got preference
one each side
me by the radio
changing the thread to tell you
it all came lovely with onions
fried tasty, mushrooms and the
last
big tomato then cheese
on home made bread, fried
over
there are difficulties with tomatoes
large as a substitution
when only small are required
not wishing for waste
we eat them anyway
i feel it is another psychological
challenge
overcome

we walked on up near the copper mine , a darker place. got to thinking.
&
it comes as no suprise. often ill they die. it is the way. it is not sad.
&
we are sensed with loss. that includes you.
he says that’s where the wind comes from, to go most everywhere.
&
probably do not miss him. he was not around us much, well not at all really.
he buggered off. no inspiration then. yet. he was my dad.

some day i will carry the bones inside.
ah pizza
now there is a thing
to love and so easy to store
in the freezer
or make
like you say
with multitudinous bits
on top
which bend and stretch
on breakfast tv he says
that we should all do that
and that
even getting out of a chair is exercise
or putting on a cardigan
i had pasta with bits of worry
over things I heard
yesterday felt difficult
so i wrote that in my diary
today the plan is toast
inspired by pizzas
all is well here all is quiet
messages sent about including
it was too warm for a fire
yet we lit it anyways for company
to smell the wood
to hear the cracking
the tick of the stove
yesterday we sent out messages too
including
one hour spent
remembering
st agnes
in cornwall
yes warmth and food
we have shelter
rain comes here in waves
reflecting feelings
sometimes i can smell the sea
though some miles from the shore
rules say to walk from the house
not to take the car
so I don’t
go to the shore
while others do
put photos on social
my time will come
we had toast just now with an
egg, a treat
deserved of a comma there
then coffee
later nuts and raisins
and so on through the
day
you have spoken of your home with
good descriptions while I think one
can google mine
perhaps i will check
and buy a bucket for
the leak
to talk of food
each day we check and diary
for there is no popping into
the shops just now
we see on social which shops
are closed for decontamination
say deep clean again
and those gone sick
it comes from kimnel bay
the asda van and we use
it carefully
the basement is now a store
with a label
and categories
as is the outbuilding
amongst other things
part of the day is pleasant
in the kitchen chopping
preparing
boogie wonderland
ha
lots of nuts
james
briefly
early
difference between a geezer and geyser
is vast
as big as the space
to carry logs over
do you see we talk so much
about heating these cold days
and always
life is minimal now
with that and food
though notice we don’t
discuss that so much
i could and
tell you of the plans and preparation
the ordering and menus here
but i don’t do i?
do you?
while i type an email comes in
to advise a delivery date
i cleaned the post box yesterday
up by the gate
no one comes in no more
you know james I always fancied one
of those hot water geysers for the kitchen
over the sink
1°
walked as usual
it was not deep here
and some still falling
heavily
i knew the others were in bed
and I wished them so
this was a new experience
brought on with isolation
walked to the main road only
usually much further
with practicality
sensibility
turned myself about
to head for home
it seems we always wish
to come back home
james
on another note
we had talked early
about our buying habits now
while she bought blades
i purchased a variety of
nuts
i took of photograph of hengrwt
