Where do the days go? An all too frequently asked question, which seems to possess no logical answer! Time being a dimension that possesses nothing tangible: with nothing that can be grasped within our hands, and is considered fleeting at best! Little more than an abstract, man made convenience without substance, and yet, without we [...]

August in Disgust !
Posted in Present and General Thoughts on August 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
A long time since I last added any comment or posting to my site. Time perhaps, to change that state of affairs, or risk becoming a lost cause, for correspondence of any kind from me, has been obvious by its absence! No fault but mine own, and the excuses – in great number – I [...]
Mid January Perambulations

The year is 2010 and January is well advanced, so it is time for me to begin making plans for the upcoming year and perhaps, taking steps to ensure the maximum use of my future days, is well spent. Admittedly, it is easily said but not so easily enacted. Despite the recent two weeks of [...]
Year’s end!

It’s been a long time since I last added any further comments to my blog, and for this I apologise. My absence was a matter of some concern to myself, but as sometimes happens, more to do with unfortunate circumstances than intent. Even now I find myself floundering to some degree, as the thread of [...]
Summer Doldrums.

Almost mid July and again the rain streams down. Thunder rumbles constantly in the west and north and I am yet again, returned to the computer and what it might offer me as compensation. Yes, poetry has been my saviour of late, but even that begins to pall a little today, for even inspiration needs [...]
Canada Day comments.

Of late, weather being the over riding and limiting factor where my gardening is concerned – I have been looking back through some of my earlier poems, essays and suchlike, and wondering what motivates me into putting my thoughts down on paper (on a CD today)? But, even after deep thought and really trying hard, [...]
Late Spring weeks.

After weeks of roller coasting through the early spring, we finally appear to be getting some stability in our daily lives. Something more summer like and acceptable – long awaited – as the expected, well known late spring weather pattern begins to take over. Of course it is far too early to say the pattern [...]
Spring
Posted in Present and General Thoughts on May 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
With the final – or so it would seem – arrival of spring as temperatures become more acceptable and pleasant, so the urgency for garden and pond work, becomes more pressing. For myself, it is both a time long anticipated, but one to dread, for one realises – more so as the years add up [...]
Spring has sprung!

It’s been a week in which finally, or so we presume, the Season we call Spring, has reappeared. Yes, we had thought it was here earlier, but Mother Nature decided it was not to be. Even when she decided it was timely to return, at first it would seem she exercised a certain reluctance in [...]
Late March Commentary

A dull, damp and quiet Sunday morning here, as I wonder what next I’ll do? It’s that time of the year which would once be termed ‘betwixt and between’. Neither one Season nor the other as yet. The last vestiges of winter are fast disappearing: there’s an air of promise that spring is fast [...]
