Sometimes..

.. My mind is blank.

I went into North Berwick today to run an errand for someone, but I was way too early for picking it up, it wouldn't be ready for another three hours I was told.
I took a stroll along the beach and, beautiful as it was, my mind was racing over all the other things I should be doing. So back inland I came and abandoned the errand.

I did a few of the things on my list, not all, and came home to a very cold house and a lethargy, although another interpretation may be a laziness. Possibly as I get a bit older I need a few more hours of rest in the day.

.....As the evening grew darker my dad used to say to me, 'You're an artist, go and draw the curtains'.
If you are groaning now, think how it was for us children to be continually bombarded with his puns, but he was never discouraged by our groans, and laughed so much to himself.
