Outside

2 November 2008

You see this is what happens to crazy flowers that bloom in autumnaltude: they get zapped by the frost and then look all mournful and sorry for themselves. I had pulled on my neckwarmer and zipped up my cardigan to go outside for a while this morning. Granted I only managed ten minutes out in the cold with not much to do, but I wanted to get away from my computer screen if only for a moment. I spend way too much time staring at these 1,764,000 pixels.

Outside the dew of a foggy morning was still decorating the plants and grass, soaking in through the cracks in my old boots to make my socks damp. Spiders had woven intricate webs between blades of grass, droplets of water hung from bright red pyracantha berries and fallen brown leaves lay in the cold, cold water of my little pond. They can stay there. I’ve gathered plenty of leaves into my black sacks already; I don’t need to dip my fingers into that water for one more handful.

Hi Sarah,
I found a sort of wallet today and the things inside have your name on them. Any chance this belongs to you? There might be more Sarah Marchants around … Please get in touch if you think that’s yours.
Cheers,
Matthias

Matthias – I lost my wallet on Saturday, and there’s a chance that Sarah name was written on something in there – do you mean the bank cards belong to Sarah Marchant? Long shot, but if the wallet is red then it is possibly mine :o)
