31st July 2007


Lemons squeezed on hair,
Pre Clapton Beauty Parlour,
For annual trim.

30th July 2007


Tony rings from Wales;
I hear sea, sky and blue space,
Then feel trapped by sink.

29th July 2007


So little sunshine,
But the fruits of summer glow,
Succulent, juicy.

28th July 2007


Another meal found,
To satisfy hungry kids -
Sticky spaghetti.

27th July 2007


Two profiles on bus;
Mirrored quirks, yet each unique,
The two I love most.

26th July 2007


Words take me away,
From responsibilities,
To other landscapes.

25th July 2007


Enjoying bus ride,
Pickle keenly inspects park,
From top-deck view point.

24th July 2007


With terrier grip,
Damian acts the bull dog,
Pickle plays his bitch.

23rd July 2007


Standing at her door,
Crutches will tell the story -
Emotional fall.

22nd July 2007


Dexter caught in net,
Conversation turns to fish,
Sexy trout make 'sporn'.

21st July 2007


Fox poo spread on floor,
Stuff waits to be tidied up,
Mop slides in between.

20th July 2007


Emptying compost,
Becomes a heroic task,
Mastered on crutches.

19th July 2007


Incapacity,
Sucks me into tragedy;
Blanket brings comfort.

18th July 2007


Foot swells till skin tight,
Wrapped alternate with ice pack,
Ginger and cayenne.

17th July 2007


Stunt man in training,
Enjoys flirting with danger,
Inverted on car.

16th July 2007


A gift from the gods,
Another freak of nature,
A kindred spirit.

15th July 2007


Rubbing stiff shoulders;
Perfect world inside our tent,
Intimate, private.

14th July 2007


Legendary gloves,
Make rare appearance to play,
And wave with the tribe.

13th July 2007


Fluff-laden cowboy,
Primed with anticipation,
Ready to party.

12th July 2007


Home comforts compressed,
Into and on top of car;
Neighbour shouts, "Hippies!"

11th July 2007


My precious jewels,
Luminous colours shining,
Waiting to adorn.

10th July 2007


Sea creature on nose,
Dex provides entertainment,
In his role as clown.

9th July 2007


A different view,
As each of us examines
Cultural filters.

8th July 2007


Dexter entangles,
Twisting limbs and hair with mine,
Our hearts woven tight.

7th July 2007


Time erodes apace.
I squeeze tasks into funnel
Of a day too short.

Friday 6 July 2007

6th July 2007


Dwight's hobbit feet pause,
After racing in circles,
To catch Pickle's tail.

5th July 2007


Dex discovers Mark,
Proud to stand wearing badges.
I've made my protest.

Wednesday 4 July 2007

4th July 2007


Enthusiasm,
Honesty and fresh laughter,
Vibrate through Berry.

3rd July 2007


Contrasting beauties -
Lush purple opportunist,
And delicate wings.

Monday 2 July 2007

2nd July 2007


Dex and Pickle fish,
Eager to catch ball in slime,
Boys intent on play.

Sunday 1 July 2007

1st July 2007


Terror brings delays;
Bored, until through 'arrivals',
Prodigal son comes.
