Painting pictures in words
Jun. 3rd, 2007 02:08 pmA couple of word-images I forgot to post when they occured. There a some compensations for getting up early to go to the gym and being at the busstop before the birds have started singing. One of them is the moon.
I forget the precise term, but when the moon was last in its last quarter, the sky was clear and still and the moon shone so brightly I looked up to see if it was full. The cresent was as bright as the full moon is normally and the rest of the moon was only slightly darker and it all had a faint halo. I could see shadows and brights over the entire surface. It looked amazing.
The other morning, while the moon was full, the sky was not bright and clear, but covered in pale clouds with darker clouds, like black lace, spilling out like a tattered overskirt. Against this background, the moon spilled a halo out like a round pond on the clouds and black lace danced over the still surface.
I finally have some time to get things done, by which I mean I have a list and feel too relaxed to get onto it anytime soon, save for the beta-reading I started recently. I will make a cup of tea soon and later on, beetroot relish.
Jemima sleeps relatively peacefully on my bed at the moment. This morning, while I was asleep, she left, leaving the door partially open. Sometime later, I was woken by Tobias jumping onto my bed by my shoulder. When Jemima returned, Tobias had wandered off somewhere under my bed and so she reclaimed the spot where she now sleeps. It is her spot, and she'll be dammed if she relinquishes it. Tobias jumped back on the bed, upsetting her a bit, but not enough to leave. She settled down once Tobias decided to sleep on my neck. I was rather warm with one cat by my feet and the other draped over my neck.
When Tobias did the same thing later on this morning, he got swiped at for his troubles. She didn't get him, and this doesn't seem to have made a dent in his enthusiasm, since he came in later on still. Either my room holds a fascination for him or there isn't anyone else he can go and spend time with.
But Jemima seems to be acclimitising some and this is good.
