Present perfect

Last night, in between sleeps, and this morning, I listened to the changing moods of the weather and neighbours on the terrace...and this afternoon looked at various kinds of articles on various places on the internet - 'news' stories to tug at your heartstrings, compilations of dimwitted quotes, curious classified ads and google searches to make you mock despite your best intentions, celebrity gossip to give you extra opportunities for arranging others into them and us...

...and curiously, instead of descending into a dark mood, I became enraptured by the perfection of this imperfect world. Much gratitude for that... And then for reading this and feeling even more thankful for the synchronicity of the pronouncement from the psychiatrist's chair...

I also give thanks that:

scientists have only just noticed a two and a half foot mammal that's been in plain sight for a few million years

it's getting easier for humans to fly

my Co-op card turned out not to be lost, but on some secret business of its own in the fridge, on the underside of a litre of milk...

and for the crackle of a bonfire on the evening air...
