"In blood stepped": so far
The only clue to this crime
Was a brogue, size 9

Agreed, it's far too warm for this time of year.
Home to a card from Caz;
Inside this card lies
A message from Her to Me —
For our eyes only.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialIt's October and it should be cold.
The jumpers have made a comeback, more through habit than habitat, as this season is yet to bite.

Autumnal warming -
Well, whether the weather, there's
Jumpers a' jumpin'!

Sixth Form Open Evening for Dexter...
Making big choices:
Feel the expectation of
Parents & Teachers...
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialBack at work, feeling a bit short of a length on a flat wicket ...

Bit of a loose end
Suffering a subtle lack
Of inspiration

"Blessed are the big noses!" (Life of Brian).
Love these little testimonials from former students;
Words from the heart that
Whilst Anonymous, speak of
Courage and new hope.
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialDo it. It's done.

I rarely edit
A stream of consciousness flows
Bypassing forebrain
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialTying up loose ends.

A lifetime, packed up
Five bags and a red suitcase
So much more than this

Odd, flat, discordant
Weird, sharp, cacaphonic
Day out of kilter

Calendar Girls (& Men!) photo shoot for Mask Theatre this morning. We bared all, for a good cause!
For the Month of May,
I bared all, modesty masked
By foliate head!

When Death saddles up
He'll bring all your memories
For a final ride

Of existence that has made
The World a better place.

And consider my diet
After this croissant

Collecting willow branches for Sunday's photo shoot:
By the riverbank,
Willow in hand, like Dido –
''Upon wild sea bank."
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialOne of those mythical "Days Off".

A day of resting ...
... but for the shopping, cooking, ...
... and the washing up ...
@deluxday.bsky.socialBetter polish her chrome in recognition then!

Sunset over nearby Maxey...
A slight detour to
Stop and gaze in awe at this
Majestic sunset..
@paddy-roberts.bsky.socialI keep reading about the coming tidal wave of spine damage caused by modern technology, so thought I'd get proactive. Also, I like reading in bed ...

These glasses ain't smart
But there's no crick in my neck
When I use my phone
