1200 Pomona Road

old drawings of same beautiful view

nothing like home

even if you missed fall

leaves give way to vistas

and all is possible

Full Circle

Back to Little Gransden again today where we found

Blue, the sweetest working dog, inexplicably thinner.

Blood tests arriving shortly.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

He sat on my lap, gingerly, not so strong as before,

then put his long neck and thick head on my shoulder.

I almost burst into tears.

Cambridge

Weeping willows are big yellow brushes now,

still hovering above the Cam;

punts rest mostly empty

in the misty fall turning winter.

I can understand people in the streets again.

Lines

First the Gare du Nord for a ticket change, then

the falafel place at the end of Rue des Ecouffes.

All set to depart Paris tomorrow on the Eurostar across the chunnel.

Auvoir, it's been swell.

Beyond all expectation.

Galeries Lafayette

They got their trippy Christmas stuff up before Halloween hit.
