Moments

Thinking of new projects, the first is an unfinished piece... but I'm not quite in the headspace yet. Today will be  ruminating day 2. I have some stuff to buy because a chum is coming to dinner on Friday,  but the thing that feels necessary is to get out and enjoy the city, despite the heat. I could not quite do it before; tunnel vision about work etc means I can't really relax until a certain point. It is important for me to become less exasperated with the silliness of our politics, to see real people, real places, and connect with them.

I make myself laugh! Connecting? I'm going to end up in an art gallery or something.
Having said that, chums have invited me to a gig  on Saturday. I'll go if Friday night doesn't wipe me out.

Yesterday was weird. I was haunted by this tiny sound, a cat meowing. Sometimes it was barely audible, and then it persisted, small, distinct, far away. I noticed Mismatch was nowhere to be found and panicked, went up the street, down the street,couldn't hear her, in the garden, in the shed,  down the small lane, up the small lane, nothing, just a few stranger cats giving me the odd-eye. I asked next door, they had heard nothing... in the end I went upstairs and opened the storage drawers under the bed. There she was, looking slightly dismayed.

Idiot child cat.
