Waking up early gives you lots of time to state at the ceiling ... Had a day in the office on the computer, so I've trawled Septembers Past ...
22/9
Four o'clock comes, dark,
No rosy fingers, yet birds
Sing loud in my head

40 years ago to the day! Damage Inc Tour, Hammersmith Odeon. 6 days later, Cliff was tragically killed in a coach crash, aged just 24..
Denim and leather,
Hirsute and obsessed with Cliff,
Master of Puppets.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialMy kitchen-based career was home to many horrors: one of them, however, wasn't the creeping advancement of my waistline as I got a reasonable amount of exercise.
21/9
I've noticed something
My desk-bound job makes me fat
I'll take a long walk
@deluxday.bsky.social20.09
It looks like a lovely spot to sit, regardless!!
The sun sets on 1984 and on the weekend...
The dying embers
Of the day, laid out before
Me. Panoramic.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialLazy Sunday Afternoon (I've got no mind to worry)
20/9
Short rest on sofa
Old springs have less cushioning
Pins and needles strike
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialBeen a quiet day here, would have loved to have been there!
Hope it all went well, and many legs were broken, luvvie mwaa mwaa mwaaaaah!

Autumn spins its web
And draws in night to snare you
Now that summer's gone
@deluxday.bsky.social19.09
Final night. Parting will be such sweet sorrow...
Cast & Crew, tethered
Through telling the story of
Nineteen Eighty Four.
@deluxday.bsky.social18.09 (late, sorry!)
A cheery haiku on a theme..😆
What's in 101?
In Winston's case, it is rats,
Gnawing at his face..
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialFollowing that yellow brick road ...
18/9
Still looking round town
Maybe there's a house for us
Just 'round the corner
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialSomewhere ...
17/9
After the summer
Colour begins to return
When the rain comes down
@deluxday.bsky.socialThe final thread begins!
1984, night number three of five;
Winston, Julia,
Sit stage edge before curtain
Calls and houselights dim...
@deluxday.bsky.social16.09
New and final thread tomorrow, we've almost done it!!
Theatre-life:
I've often dreamt of
A mirror with lights around:
Dreams, they can come true!
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialThere's nothing like fresh food from the pots!
16/9
Green beans for supper
Directly from the garden
Worth the price of seeds
@deluxday.bsky.social15.09
Caz bought me a rose plant for our anniversary. It has produced some late flowers...
Late September rose,
Lays down her petals - gives up
The last of her scent.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialI went to cover a shift near Ebbw Vale today. Last time I travelled this road, you could hardly see the verge for fog/rain/sleet ...
... today it had its glad rags on.
15/9
This country is rich
In heritage and beauty
Here's today's commute
@deluxday.bsky.social14.09
Amazing what you find in a vicar's outbuilding...
For a brief moment,
I gazed in awe at the child King -
Like Howard Carter.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialWrite this one for the August Bank Holiday, but was in the middle of my A-Z ...
14/9
Holiday traffic
Welsh contraflow in action
Coming and going
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialBreak a leg with your play!
Now, here's a turn up for the books ...
13/9
After the cricket
I started to channel surf:
A face from the past!
@deluxday.bsky.social13.09
It's arrived. 1984 Get-In, Stamford Arts Centre...
The waiting is done.
The stage is set for our play,
Big Brother awaits...
@deluxday.bsky.social12.09
Sorry, a late one as we all got carried away yesterday at The Thirsty Giraffe's end of a successful summer event in the grounds of the Priory Church..
A quintissential
Late Summer garden party,
With our Giraffe Gang!
