Just back from a walk on the beach.

A sense of reassurance has descended from focusing on the unchanging shape of the distant Akamas moulds that jut out to sea. Their curves softened by the light mist rolling in, observed with relaxed eyes through the various shades of grey as night defeats day.

Face taut from the gentle breath of a cooling breeze. My soul satisfied from having found the ultimate pink pebble, with a surface so smooth to caress, it makes me float.

The cicadas are even louder tonight; their singing concentrated in the row of olive trees on the edge of the field.

The smell of mint in the air .... ripped from the soil by an over-zealous mum, intent on taming years of neglect.

Enough twaddle ........

.... I'm ready to hit the Cyprus Problem threads.

Deniz .... I have not gone probing the trees for the little songsters ...

But I've just had an e-mail exchange with an Entomology professor and he assures me it is cicadas I can hear (temperature has been in the twenties here ) ... and we are well placed spatially ..... tough on you doubters I know....

They are hatching .....

Snowing in the mountains ... I am at sea level ... the best place in the World ..

Deniz .. when I say I do not eat mammals ... that does not mean I am an insectivore

You did say you like experimenting. So I thought you would like to cook hubby a lovely meal from freshly 'appeared' Cicadas.

They sat on the bridge at midnight

their lips were all aquiver

When his wooden leg fell off

and floated down the river!

God! I love that feeling poetry gives....

It reminds me of 14 pints of Keo!

Happy Days

I loved your offering of Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" last time.
