Every year on Christmas day, if its not raining from the heavens I go for a two mile walk round the back roads, down to the beach and old pier and back again. These haiku are from five days ago.
christmas day morning hardy swimmer flees cold sea; an old tradition
christmas day morning rooks enjoying the seaweed; just another day
christmas day morning meet others out for a stroll; only recognise one
under old stone bridge brackish stream lays motionless; continue on walk
standing over sink
scouring last night’s scorched pot;
cat looks in judging
November sunshine
the sudden squally showers;
cat scarpers for shed

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked by Naviar Records if I would like to join in one of their projects where they invite musicians to compose music to go along to a Haiku.
My haiku was : the bracing east wind / cold as a Nordic summer / kicking up white sand.
I agreed and here is the link below for the 16 tracks that people composed.

Over the weekend I broke a tooth whilst munching on toasted Ciabatta bread. Luckily when I phoned the dentist on Monday morning they had an opening for eleven AM. The dentist is situated in a small complex in the centre of the village,surrounded by wild fields to the east and south,leading down to pier and beach.
