From Hazel

Covid

Click, click,

The turn of a key

Lockdown enshrouds us

Fevers the brain

Ck, ck , clickety click

But talking’s allowed

Forget those locked jaws

and ring out the phone

yack, yack, yackety yack

savour the emails

that fizz down the airwaves

dispelling depression,

raising the smiles

tap, tap,tapity tap

Lock in the laughter

lock out the gloom

lock up the virus

lock, stock and barrel

Click, yack, clickety tap

Savour the stillness

The lack of pollution

Freshness of birdsong

Breathe in the springtime

Embrace warmth of friendship

And lock in the love

Look to the future

Clickety, stoically……….Hope

Take Time

 Breathe

take time

allow your thoughts

to hesitate

Breathe

take time

allow your thoughts

to marinate

Breathe

take time

allow your thoughts

to illuminate

Breathe

take time

allow your thoughts

permission

to escape

From Kevin (Who Else)

Are you using your stay at home to develop new  domestic skills? I most certainly am – not very successfully. I am trying to make those nice patterns in coffee froth that baristas do, and failing. As you will see from the photo below, I simply end up with something looking like Donald Trump’s bottom          (assuming he paints himself everywhere he can reach)

To start us off:” big rainbow pasted” maybe, Hilary?!    You may or may not know , fellow Members, that some of the young children are walking around with an adult on these sunny evenings of home schooling counting the colourful rainbows in house windows in their locality. How much they must enjoy finding a new one! Can you help … without the right paint colours  I m just sitting down making one using bits of cereal packets for the pretty colours. It s the thought that counts, isn t it … not the exact colours. However, there s another thing … how do you remember the colours? With the mnemonic:  Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain like I do maybe for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and lastly violet if I ve got it right!   I am thinking immediately of how I remembered the compass points: North East Shredded West with mnemonic Nick eats Shredded Wheat. There are so many more .. I used to have one to remember how to spell ‘because’ … I can t remember that now but I do know how to spell because … any more you can add maybe??
