Dip

Coronavirus Lockdown Diaries, day 26

For a long, long time we’ve had a big sunken area in the lawn. Today we made an attempt to fix it by peeling back the turf and levelling the ground underneath. And it is better. Not perfect, but better.

Now it’s gone, I won’t constantly be reminded of a specific song (and yes, I know it was a different kind of ‘dip’)...

I put all the love and beauty
In the spirit of the night
And I'm holding my ticket tight.
Stupidity and suffering
Are on that ticket, too
And I'm going down the dip with you.
