When a man looks at a woman he sees a vision of beauty…
When a woman looks at a man she sees a work in progress…
Until we speak again, long may the vision and the work continue…

Social Intrusion
“You come any closer with that camera and you will need more than a pair of tweezers to remove it from where I’ll put it! What do you think this is… a fashion shoot?”
“Hey ladies, I’m sure we’re okay with these pillars being 2 metres apart… but watch out for the strange dude with a camera at 4 o’clock!”
“Back off sneaking up on folks like that. By the way… does my bum look too big in this?”
Until we speak again, Juno never did do sneaking up that well…
Nadolig Llawen 2020
It’s three days to Christmas, and all in Cardiff will be frantically hitting the high street in a last minute flurry of over-commercialised action. So, let’s venture forth with great trepidation, and take on the challenge of negotiating a path through the maddening hordes of shoppers. But hang on, what’s happened to The Hayes? Always a place to provide a sight of festive elegance, but now seems a little deserted…
Let’s try the Christmas Market… always a good place for a warming festive scene (when it’s not being dismantled early, that is!!)…
Maybe the pubs and clubs are doing a roaring trade as an alternative to the worries of what to buy… but then, I forgot, they have already been consigned to memories of a cultural history!
Perhaps everyone is gathering in front of the Castle for a special pre-Christmas event? Or, maybe not…
Okay, at least Queen Street as the main shopping thoroughfare can be depended upon for accommodating the masses… Wow, my kind of shopping!!
Until we speak again, it seems I can only wish you a Merry Covid! Perhaps in years to come we will all look back on this experience and say… WTF???
Strategic advice
Anybody seen anything resembling a strategy floating around? Particularly amidst the clear-as-mud-mess our Tory incompetents revel in serving up on a daily basis?
Our witless Government misinformation trumpets like to spout lies and nonsense to the gullible masses about how they are confidently in control.
But, take a closer look at the detail clouded by the confused messages…
Is that the truth of stark reality we can sense hoving into sight? Surely even those previously blind to the shenanigans of our ‘Liar-in-Chief‘ at Number 10 might benefit from some closer scrutiny of what is before them?!
Until we speak again, my strategic advice is to keep your eye on the prize!
Rude awakening
Leave me alone… I’m trying to make sense of this pandemic thing.
Perhaps gravity will come to my rescue!
Until we speak again, trust me… swanning about is the only way to cope with this restricted way of being!
Watching me… watching you
Just as the coronavirus pandemic lockdown restrictions gradually reduce it’s time to emerge out into a strange new world. You know… the place that has benefitted from the relative absence for months of pesky human creatures.
A place where birdsong has provided the soundtrack to an environment basking in a newfound laidback state of relaxation.
A place where fish have developed the confidence to swim about in clearer waters.
So, taking a gentle stroll along local canal side footpaths can only infuse the mind with a sense of tranquility…
That is, until you turn the next corner? “This is my place now… nobody passes!”
“Hey fellah, you might as well retreat into your buildings, but you can’t hide from me!”
Until we speak again, “I’ve got my eye on you!”
Sod it!
As the coronavirus restrictions begin to lift we are all being confronted with difficult decisions…
Is the time right to get back to work? Are the kids back in school? Can I work from home still? Will the workplace be safe? Do I use public transport? Do I add to climate damaging emissions? Where do I buy lunch these days? Has anybody worked out what the furlough thing is all about? Do today’s job loss announcements include mine? Do I believe anything the lying bastards in Government say?
Sod it…
Until we speak again, there are two types of people in the post restriction world of Cardiff… those dealing with difficult questions, and those who just mess about on boats!
Otis’s appreciation society
Until we speak again, I intend to spend a little more lockdown time sitting on the dock of the bay.
Toys for boys
For those of you in lockdown missing such delights as the ‘hooking a duck’ stall at your funfair of choice, Cardiff has ‘The Swan Catcher’ as a toys for boys bigger version on offer…
Until we speak again, don’t forget to throw it back in when caught, as QEII wouldn’t be happy… it would be like putting a corgi into a hot dog!!
Grayson’s Art Club
A little bit of creative humanity is currently appearing on Channel 4 in recent weeks. The artist Grayson Perry invites members of the public to submit their example of lockdown art on a theme for the week. Selected examples will feature alongside his own artwork in a post-lockdown exhibition.
This week’s theme is ‘the view out of my window’ as it represents lockdown ideas, so here is mine…
The plant, that was there, has clearly died (more a reflection of me than the virus I think). The Coronavirus brick wall dominates the present view. But shoots of green and blue emerge on a distant horizon.
Until we speak again…
