 | It's the same as last week. Or the week before. I forget. Wet winters mean circling in ever-tighter orbits. To avoid mud and because your mood disorder writes off novelty as some sort of dangerous affectation at this point in proceedings. The sun rises at 8.12 am but you don't, really. Cream and refined starch, especially in close association, will make my arse fear my internal organs: whatever. Fuck wellbeing. Fuck hip to waist ratios. Fuck most things. |
 |  I don't know how so many of you deal with the actual physical restriction of a real winter. 1cm of slushy birdshit hail on the ground for more than an hour = blizzard here. Warnings are issued. |
Supermarkets sell out of bread. The reality is we still have soggy daisies on the shortest day.
And good blues. Luminous and saturated at the same time. I think we have some of the best blue on the planet.

Our daily walk alongside the harbour isn't the worst thing that can happen to someone. I'll trade getting rained on for these clouds and their reflections.
The big Larus Kelp/Blackbacked Gulls are starting to pair up again, loitering idly together, running through random phrases of their courting routines and ducking for crabs in the sea lettuce. You can see one floating in the lower third of the image below. A lot of people dislike them, reviling their intelligence, persistence, resourcefulness and courage. It's because Blackbacks refuse to go quietly. They are a totem and consolation, reminding us implicitly that axial tilt is a real thing and that this internal drab is in remission; I will take their word for it.

Sometimes bands of rain out of the south are split by the snaking length of the harbour and will cling to the line of the peninsula rather than dumping their shit indiscriminately. The sun rides low toward the north, so we end up with these freakish split-frame meteorological vistas. This is the first time I've caught one with a camera.
R is always impressed by the sight of these boats at Back Beach and insists that I take this shot when there is any sort of light. It might be a male thing. So blame him for this same frame as last time bullshit. Boats are just cars on water to me- sort of ugly, barely fit for purpose and vaguely transgressive. But then I can swim really well and don't fancy a propellor slicing into my backfat.
The clinker dinghy.
