His wife made him watch a news report about a murdered man.

"I don't see how this is #relevant to me." He gestured at the TV, "I didn't know the guy, you did."

"Keep watching," she said.

"The police found hairs on the victim," the newscaster reported.

"Those hairs are yours," she smiled. #vss365

An Englishman’s day is a solemn procession from tea to toast, to fog, to chicken, to more tea, and tea to bed.
Each step performed with the gravity of a bishop burying his mother-in-law. Yet in this damp and dutiful roundabout, the whole empire still finds time to feel mighty #relevant.

The list of what is relevant these days
Changes every moment with new crazes
Issues that stress us out
Too numerous to count
Hoping that we soon move out of this phase

Some serenity -
Even deep in this maelstrom -
Is achievable.

Alarm buzzes. Coffee drips. Commute crawls. Emails pile. Lunch at desk. Meetings blur. Clock ticks slow.
Home, couch, scroll, sleep. Tomorrow, repeat.
In this loop we live, love, dream. Nothing epic. Everything #relevant.

First and the last day this week it has crept into double figures in London.

The cold spell continues strongly in central Europe and separately exceptional cold wave in N Scandinavia. Far southeast is exceptionally warm in Turkey #Istanbul temperatures reached 21C (70F) this afternoon.

We once measured a woman by her wit, her grit, or the bread she baked. Now we #measure her by the glow of a thousand tiny hearts from folk she’ll never meet. Social media is the loudest vanity fair yet invented; every lady a queen, every mirror a liar.

My attention span is limited
So to keep my old hands movable
I stick to week-long projects
So the results are #achievable -

And this is the best I can write today
I have to cook a cottage pie.

My chest thumps so light
and I freeze

Lips flicker from a hint of a breeze
Déjà Vu I taste I saw
and I know

We don’t exist we echo
Here and there
Nameless but we know us

Soulmates searching
For unblocked gates
Within an #achievable haze

here at rainbow’s end,
there is no gold

only the sea
lifting the clouds
connecting
elemental

amidst colors
fragrant and specific
i am lost

in the forever scent
that lingers
of you

whatever #specific algorithm
makes us famous,
I’d rather be nameless…
alone with the cypress,
as her glow sets the forest on fire-
that’s my desire
