Grief

I couldn't settle to anything. J went back to Edinburgh early this morning to be with her Dad .

Grief is generous and cares not a jot for niceties of family trees. I couldn't settle. Unfinished projects just seemed so small and tangential.


Eventually I replaced the plastic on our cliff-residing lean-to greenhouse in front of the winds bowling in tonight. Then my new chainsaw chain needed fitting. Then the strimmer spool - a Chinese mystery - needed fettling and testing.

At one point I sat down in the cool sun by our little pond and idly took a few snaps, not noticing I was shooting in RAW. I was amazed at the difference when I came to look at them.

J's sister is travelling up tomorrow to Edinburgh. Maybe me too. Day by day. Hour by hour.
