Boxing Clever

 

The sooth-west is not Orkney’s most irascible wind.  However it sees the vital essence of the sea constantly battling in the waves not finding the stasis it seeks.  It’s never signposted.  The sky empties water on the shore.  Every breeze, every drop is felt.

A day of deep darkness.  A ray of relief when my new saw came home; I commissioned it in the shed.  A flashback also as I worked in the fish, in Shetland, for a year.  A flash-forward – I have to have the tea ready soon.
