No real surprise that
flights were all cancelled
cause of the wind in the night
that made us feel like the house
could be airborne any minute
Or was that the glorious wine
from Patrick’s private collection
that he brought to the stormy dinner?
It was a long weekend
not for shortening
so we took a cab back into town
had breakfast in Joes Garage
then crossed the road to see
what Warhol had to say
pretending we had arrived
without a hitch.
Rain like in the movies
straight down
and bouncing off the concrete
like we were
at the thought of being together
in Manu’s restaurant
in record stores
sharing spells with witches
and vodka martinis at Morrisons
Late in the evening
home in the early morning

Hi Ashley, as I sit back in my bed waiting for my brother and sister in law to stir, its raining in the quiet leafy Johannesburg called Sunninghill. There has been no sun for two days, yet that’s ok. I feel content to listen to the early morning chorus of Ibis, laughing doves, turtle doves and a large number of other Symphony feathered creatures. I’m pondering what my journey past Soweto will be and whether I should have taken out extra insurance.
Well suffice to say I really enjoyed your blog today and look forward to sponging up more of your creative content. Way to go my man!!

Hi Ashley, as I sit back in my bed waiting for my brother and sister in law to stir, its raining in the quiet leafy Johannesburg suburb called Sunninghill. There has been no sun for two days, yet that’s ok. I feel content to listen to the early morning chorus of Ibis, laughing doves, turtle doves and a large number of other symphonied feathered creatures competing for the loudest and most magical bird call. I’m pondering what my journey past Soweto will be and whether I should have taken out extra insurance.
