On my walk I saw
Two crows, the moon, Jupiter,
And the rising sun.

The #FirstBirdOfMyDay was a Robin clacking away in the hedge as the sun started to come up as we had our early walk along the canal.

Just a small selection of a few of the books that I imagine I will always return to from time to time to re-explore. #books #amreading #BookSky

I do have one slim volume of Canadian verse… but certainly it is not an area where my library is well endowed.

After the disappointment of not liking a new novel I’m going back into my comfort zone revisiting an old friend. #BookSky #amreading #books #Proust Some books deserve revisiting over a lifetime. “Swann’s Way” and “Time Regained” are two of my stand-by favourites when I need something I can rely on.

My organisation isn't that logical. I put an explanation on my blog. petergknight.wordpress.com/2025/11/05/h... Some shelves are logical, but mostly the organisation is based on where the book fits into my personal history: where I got it, how long I've had it, who gave it to me...

My sky this morning
Slipping past in the canal
Under the water.

Is it just me, or are other people the same? I have maybe a dozen books that I keep going back to decade after decade, re-reading over and over again at different points in life, seeing new things each time, living in them over a lifetime like a landscape? What are yours? #BookSky #books

Starlings over the village this evening. It’s the start of murmuration season. Some years they build up over a few weeks into really spectacular shows as the starlings circle prior to roosting in the reeds each evening.

The piece of chalk
With which I mark off the days
When I have done or am due to do
The fish
Is getting small.
It reminds me of my artist friend Miriam Burke who used a piece of chalk to draw a picture of the piece of chalk, so all that remains of the chalk is in its own picture.
