MiA
The things you didn’t see:
the cat, this morning, ginger,
coiled like a spring and ready
to pounce on an unsuspecting junco;
five crows perched on the same
side of the tree, and the tree leaning
over on account of their weight;
the smile on my granddaughter
when we Skyped.
The things you didn’t hear:
the squawk of the bird
as the cat misjudged her jump;
those same five crows cawing,
cracking the day open like
an egg boiled for breakfast;
the joy in my granddaughter’s voice
when she spoke to me: “Hi Moo.”
And you didn’t hear the robin’s shriek
as the hawk’s claws pierced,
nor the tears in my voice
as I called out your name.
“Hi moo”very much lovely words as said by ur grand daughter.

We are at the ‘shortage of real conversational words’ stage … but ‘Hi Moo’ is great. Makes me feel very good. a TV Star on a reality show type good. And yes: they are 1600 clicks away … so Skype is fantastic. I was sitting next to Jane Tims today and she said you had a copy of Crossing the Churn! I have just got my copy from Jane (aka Alexandra). It’s a great little book and she’s a great lady and a good friend. I do hope you enjoy the series. We got an extract from Book 5 today.

I’m shooting more Ken doll pictures today…indoor shots, because the weather is rainy.

You’re in the same boat as me, except (a) it’s sunny here today and (b) I’m not filming Ken Dolls! NB 20-40 mms of rain forecast for tomorrow, right on the Saint John River valley. We are close to flooding right now. That will send us over the top. NB we are on top of the hill. Should be no problem for us with river.

It won’t be up next week. I’m hoping to have it finished by the following week. This one is a little more…”involved”. Lol

I saw my granddaughters’ ginger cat curled in the middle of their Clue game and their laughing faces because my daughter took pictures and texted them to me. Talked to the waitress at the breakfast place who is usually quite standoffish, but I asked how her Dachshund Spencer and she talked for five minutes, while her other customers’ coffee was drunk away. And I thought of you and hope I will see you after lunch.

I found people in the UK to be very insular and stand-offish when I was last there. However, when you asked them what the dog’s name was and how old it was … Bingo: it was like winning the lottery. Couldn’t stop them talking.
