Give me a land of boughs in leaf
A land of trees that stand
Where trees are fallen there is grief
I love no leafless land
― A.E. Housman
At this time of year, I tend to drop my vinyl copy of The Doors’ Waiting for The Sun on the platter and listen to Summer’s Almost Gone.
It is 7 October, after all.
Except, on this specific 7 October, it was 31C, in the afternoon. Not particularly autumnal.
There are some signs, in the photos (below), of the change in season. Some.
In other news, I have signed up for NaNoWriMo, so, from 1 November, and until 30 November, I will be attempting to write 50,000 words, and hoping at least some of them will make sense we will see what we will see…
If you are interested, I have tried writing here before…
Musings, very sporadically, out in the midday sun.
Random thoughts (or poems if you stretch a point) from lockdown in Accra in April 2020, am thinking of publishing these.
My first sustained attempt to write anything, Dark Side Thursday.
WordPress Writing 101 back in April 2015.
Be seeing you…

You know what writing of yours I remember? Those dark, dark stories both you and Desley Jane used to write. I’d have to read a bit, stop to catch my breath (and gather my wits about me!) and then read some more. Long ago and far away, but definitely fun times. Yay, Andy for this new writing venture!

Beautiful images and extra extra joy in me from and for Houseman.
Best of luck in your writing endeavors, this might be the first year I sign up for NaNoWriMo as well and it would be nice to follow/peek at your journey along the way.
