The previous walk through Wytchwood inspired a

very talented friend of mine to write the following.

Segula

Wind, bells, cats. The day moves

through the blinds arching its back

in bronze tinkling over soft mews.

Was it always this way with us?

Whenever our footsteps matched,

one of us would always stop as if

continuing might summon the Devil.

Do we ever survive our superstitions?

There’s a storm on the sun and they

say the sky may burn tonight. Neither

of us dare look up for dread of proof.

How did we ever arrive at this?

Between the short measures of our

story, the tale was lost and wind

took whatever was left of the bells.

The good days have been few since I have been here. It is usually dreary and wet and I feel damp to the bones.

The one beautiful sunny breezy day I decided to take some video of a walk about. Click the “View HQ video” at top right of box for better quality. You can hear the wind in the trees.

Pedestrian problems:

Winter always seems long and undeserved but I have to say we have been pretty lucky so far. My only complain would be the lack of attention given to the sidewalks, a never ending problem here.

It’s a beautifully tolerable, actually warmish, New Years Eve in St. John’s. The cusp of 2009. A  wonderfully talented artist friend of mine has asked me to go with her to a party at the Wonderbolt Circus Studio down on the harbour front. We first stop at mutual friends for a visit. The view from their window is spectacular. The harbour, the tops of houses below, the south side hills..stunning. Lucky dogs.

This is not just a cat blog
Well, having cleaned out all the old posts and thinking I had laid the litterbox to rest for good, I had second thoughts as I need a place to vent and laugh and share my somewhat silly stories and cartoons. This is a very odd time for me to be doing this as I am in the middle of packing up the house to move in November. I should be painting but had put it aside for the time being. I think this is a result of my frustrated creative side. Why the hell I am sitting at this damn box of bolts playing with blogs is the question. The answer is avoidance…..of packing, of painting.

I hope you will all stick around for whatever comes next. I have a blog for the more serious side of me at Shades of Twilight. Link at top. Haven’t been inclined to post on that yet either.  Life got busy over the last months, trying to make money, and this doesn’t do it.

ciao for now
