Giselle and Mr Memphis and myself are featured in @madridlitmag.bsky.social
Hope folk will enjoy reading about it. It is a fundamentally European book and I’m hoping it will get more widely seen and read #writing #books

I walk seasons of air in the wood this morning, bathing alternately in warm, tepid or chilly fluid, as in a Roman bath. The field is an icy plunge. Rain-glistened grass slavers my boots like lollies. Back in the wood the storm-driven leaf-toll is huge. Some leaves shine apple-red. For all the saints

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself

Lovely walk at Tynninghame today…enjoyed all the colours and changes and watching oyster catchers and redshanks. So many fallen trees from the storms and fascinating to see the fungi at work on these pines.

Not getting much painting or writing done due to sinus infection and dental surgery - now not feeling so bad stitches have held and antibiotics and painkillers doing their stuff. Been enjoying the colours of this Marina de Chioggia pumpkin we grew this year - makes excellent soup!
