The radio burbles on the bench;
I enjoy the
gentle flow of French
As I pour fresh
milk on fruit and oats
Or cut some
slices to make toast.
July begins in mist
and rain
Bursts of sun
then flooded drain!
A mini
mud-slide in my street
Has grown much larger this past week...
The “Grandes Vacances”
have now begun
Friends are
leaving, one by one,
For places
where the sun’s assured
For many -
thrilling trips abroad!
Our summer
lasted just five days!
Bold cloudless
skies post morning haze
Too good to
last? Too good indeed
But nice my
book outside to read …
Tennis and
football* flood the news
Vast crowds,
big screens and lots of booze
But leafy
Brussels gets my vote
As I can switch
off my remote!
