lovely all numbers relating to three

how good can it be

your bike coming today

and me a new washing

machine

the thing broke in half and blew the trip

he said he had never seen such a thing

me all over the place busy in the garden

i wrote the chaps notes on the slate

he came all masked and gloves

his air gave off confidence and

a handsome nature

i think he has now a beard yet

it was hard to see at such a distance

so i wore them old dungarees against

the ivy dust and felt happy the same

way my garden makes me happy now

who would have ever thought it

so your bike comes today

i have said it twice and i hope

it will all be well

later my plants were brought quietly

so i laid them out ready

and exclaimed over the blue

and made another ladder

i really hope your bike arrives today james

mellow magic

waiting in the lower garden

for the groceries to come

cold so hood up thinking

looking at the mountain

looked round and there

he was visiting at a good

distance

laughing for me

i gave my sympathy for his loss

he said other relatives went this way

and good job he found her

anyway

he talked about folk in town

how the hospital is full of them

i knew nothing

been in for weeks

and those i see

talk about other

stuff like me

here we have at least

another few weeks

official

and the promise of furlough

until october if necessary

i like that word

i had burned all the stuff

and thought of you that

you can’t

i drew and made another ladder

one a day, sat on the grass among

the wild flowers

felt quite happy

then guilty for feeling

so with all that abounds

but i could not help it

i shall try sitting low again today

james

the sun came on me warm and

i understand your excitement

i share it with you

james

came cold here
even walking hard
did not warm it

we wear our hood up
we think for warmth
yet it helps for thinking
and humming along
the track

went further
to the bell ringers place

later had my second walk
to see a differing light

shades of trees and all that surrounds

i drew them later
my way

could have done without a car
with all the changes required

now he says
not to use public transport
to go out, no don’t go out
stay home, no go to work

fortunately he is in england
i am in wales
where clearly
we still stay at home

information on cars is
always ratefully received
and valued

for i am no mechanic
though i can knit lovely james

and sew quite good too

james

early morning arrived

the ladder is just a make thing; i will just have it
presently in the garden while another is started
of twigs

if google has saved the image now
i will send it

in my mind i know others have done such things
each one comes different

if only all will understand that we are all different
and that is fine

the leaves became the trees and decided to stay
as minimal
on the same paper
as before

i understand your excitement
for i feel that i should be so
with maybe added trepidation
at the mechanics

of that and all things

i have a project under the hedge
grovelled about there yesterday

now have so much ******* need to
burn a fire
before

i clear much more

sixty is a good number
to be added and divided

so i hope the day comes good
even better than yesterday james

news breaks brings an alarm by mobile
to watch
yet i find
i come not bothered no more
it is just words again
while people die
while folk sew their
own ppe
cleverly

adverb

apparently

i made the ladder easily
with sticks and string
for decoration only

the plan today to go
small make more
and crawl under the hedge

pump the brakes
it may be that
that groans

then have my second walk per the day
perhaps about four
before
tea

thses things are written in the diary

james

she gave me plants, more than i expected

i gave her a pocket mirror

as barter

all i had since lockdown

planted in the heat

found more places to clear

another day

later i heard the sound

opened the doors

watched the rain

as if i had not seen water before

i heard the neighbour’s door

i guessed he watched too

before i had looked at the jug

full

as if i had not seen such a thing

before

i went out real early to avoid folk

met those

who had the same idea

it is the weekend

and i understand that many

ignored the rules and may

be expected in hospital soon

according to the news

i settled back with the geranium leaves

and liked what i drew

on one note of delight

i locked the studio tight

so the feeling may remain

today looks refreshed

damp slate

and newness

james

jazz piano

one project is comimg along nicely down the garden

ripping the ivy off the pigsty hair ******* from the dirt

eyeing the next task, preparing the mind on
one step at a time

so far we have come

me with that and the outside lav
her with a scullery
very retro chic yet
maybe is just that we have old houses

history

i diary tasks then let them stew so
ideas come for the doing

they call it logistics i think that sounds like maths

you possibly say math all singular james

the news came yesterday and she saw it live
while i was working

it hit me at two thirty that we get more freedom
to excercise from monday, more than once a
day

it hit me

thought i had been fine with it all
then the delight hit me hard………..

real hard james
so have diaried
that for monday
two walks

that diary
if you could see it
lists and tasks

numbers and notes

thoughts of the future
how things may change

may have to change james

twig ladder

 

notes:-

 

( he is a famous scuptor
lives in blaenau
i visited
eyed the ladders he made

how much are they?

how much !!

years later, years i tell thee

i plan to make one
myself )
