Years ago, when we lived in Bristol and had a more hedonistic lifestyle, we would go to our local pub after work. There were others who did the same, it was a social and convivial diversion and we all went home for our pasty and chips after a couple of babychams. We were known asContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Late Shift”

Six on Saturday – Doom
It is a recurrent problem, the same every year. I can’t solve the inordinate time it takes to accustom myself to the concept of autumn. Winter – no problem, spring – a joy, summer – luxurious; but autumn brings me nothing but impending doom. After a few weeks of moroseness I give myself a sternContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Doom”
Six on Saturday – Little and Large
Another week, another weather related drama. Plants in the garden are beginning to droop a little, a couple are definitely on the frazzled side. I put this down to the dense planting, which means any meagre rain or mizzle that has fallen in the last week or two has been unable to reach soil level.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Little and Large”
Six on Saturday – Bedraggled
Well, that has been an interesting week. I’ve worked in waterproofs and t-shirts. I’ve fretted about kamikaze mothers. I’ve relished the sun on my back and cursed the relentless drizzle. I’ve planted bulbs, bulbs, bulbs. I’ve collected seeds, seeds, seeds. I’ve got through, which some weeks is enough. And I hope you all have too.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Bedraggled”
Six on Saturday – Fallen
Voice in Head, Angel Division: You really should ensure everything is well staked in the garden this year, traditionally you are rather lax in this department. Voice in Head, Devil Division: But they look so ugly and intrusive for such a long time and to be honest I can’t be bothered. A few weeks pass.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Fallen”
Six on Saturday
Six on Saturday, here we go again. Admittedly it has been a few weeks since I dabbled, but I’m sure I will pick it up again; the subtle nuances, the intricacies. Just like riding a bicycle. Unfortunately, I can only ride a bike in a straight line, as long as there are no cars, orContinue reading “Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Wet and Dry
My week panned out as follows: wet, dry, wet, slightly soggy, sunny. It could have been worse. I might have had a leak in both my boots and my waterproof trousers. Luckily it was only one of the two. Gardening has been done, but unfortunately none in my own garden. Which possibly will not comeContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Wet and Dry”
Six on Saturday – Autumn Antics
It has been a rather discombobulating week, with midweek shenanigans and not much work. The little work I did proved to be rather beneficial, it seems that I am no longer in denial about the onset of autumn. It appears that I have caught up with everyone else, just in time for winter to rear its,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Autumn Antics”
Six on Saturday – Dreary
It always takes me a few weeks to accustom myself to the shortening days and falling temperatures. All week I have struggled to get up in the morning and when I drag myself out of bed I am more belligerent teenager than disco diva. Today was no exception. There is one word that concisely sumsContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dreary”
Juxtaposition
An out of focus cosmos, symbolising the confusion and instability of life. A backdrop of steely scaffolding representing the hard, harsh realities of life. Yep, the roof is still leaking. After all those promises. Again.
