On Tender Hooks
 
Let me cut to the cheese:
every time you open your mouth,
I’m on tender hooks.
 
You charge at the English language
like a bowl in a china shop.
I wish you’d nip it in the butt.
 
On the spurt of the moment,
another eggcorn tumbles out.
It’s time you gave up the goat.
 
Curve your enthusiasm
and don’t give them free range –
the chickens will come home to roast.
 
Sorry to be the flaw
in your ointment. You must think me
a damp squid, I suppose –
 
but they spread like wildflowers
in a doggy-dog world,
and your spear of influence grows.

Today's woodland wanderings produced a treasure trove of Spring magical happenings. New leaves, bluebells, wood anemones, blossom and daffodils - and sunshine. The kind of day you want to bottle, ready to uncork in deepest, dreariest winter.

My March highlights. I absolutely love Spring - my favourite season by far. Even with a follow up hospital procedure and recovery time, its been a good month.

A magical large & ancient oak tree is also a fully furnished home (with glowing lit windows & a porch & steps) & its trunk is covered with moss, toadstools, & flowers in early spring -flowers pink & trees bloom around the old tree… & in the distance an older figure walks in silhouette into the distance…there’s a soft mist on this spring late dusk/early morning

in a night scene with lush shades of purples, light purples greens, and golds, a dark orange brown fox gazes up at the night sky, watching shooting stars and stars alight the sky in the centre mid ground -and on the left, slightly in the distance, is a lit cottage with the upper story window lit with smoke coming out of the chimney. The sense of magic is pervasive as lights of enchantment seem to surround the fox and atmosphere

A close up photograph of a Long Tailed Tit that is perched on a small branch.  The bird is facing forward showing off its puffy pink and white chest with its head turned looking to the right as viewed.  It has a black feathers on its head and a long black-and-white tail.  The background has branches from the tress fading in to the distance and bright blue sky in between. Taken on a sunny day early morning light, March 2026.

A lovely Long-tailed Tit that posed momentarily while out foraging with its family flock last week. Adorable how they stay connected with each other with their high pitched call 💙 🪶 📷

Hope the new week brings you some joy and peace🕊️
