That's an owl by the way....blooming eck, there has been some absolutely gorgeous poems tonight. This is what happens when I accept an invite to leave my hobbit hole for the local hostelry. Two glasses of red wine and a dalwinnie later and I am probably good for nothing. However, a big bike ride tomorrow am from Pateley will soon clear the cobwebs...hill training!

Good impression, i'm impressed, glad you had a good night out Bilbo, off to my pit now up at 5 for some headtorch fun. Enjoy the hills Hes, goodnight

Night Merry...sleep tight and have fun tomorrow. Sounds like it will be good. I'm looking forward to my hills.

The Thought-Fox

I imagine this midnight moment's forest:
Something else is alive
Beside the clock's loneliness
And this blank page where my fingers move.

Through the window I see no star:
Something more near
Though deeper within darkness
Is entering the loneliness:

Cold, delicately as the dark snow
A fox's nose touches twig, leaf;
Two eyes serve a movement, that now
And again now, and now, and now

Sets neat prints into the snow
Between trees, and warily a lame
Shadow lags by stump and in hollow
Of a body that is bold to come

Across clearings, an eye,
A widening deepening greenness,
Brilliantly, concentratedly,
Coming about its own business

Till, with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox
It enters the dark hole of the head.
The window is starless still; the clock ticks,
The page is printed.

Love this poem HHH!

Right...I am also heading bedwards but want to say that I thought Tri's poem for Freckle was absolutely gorgeous. You are a very thoughtful and creative person Matt. Good luck to you too Freckle, your new neighbour will be lucky to have you and your littlies living upstairs.x

Some mornings

Some mornings I feel
like I have crawled out of an
elephant's behind

Robert Emmm
Know how he feels, off for a hilly trot.

Back to bed.

Just woke up seen the light,
Looked in the mirror what a sight,
I try to find the bathroom door,
Trip over my clothes on the floor,
I think i'll go back to bed pretend it's night.

Morning, cracking run. Starving.com now

Start in darkness, headtorch on
15 miles, climbing, descending
Bathed in sunlight, finished, done
