Volatilidade do tempo na Inglaterra.
Todo o dia choveu e fez vento, mas às 4.15pm parecia que o sol se mostraria sem vergonhas. Às 4.22pm o vento fincou pé de presença e às 5.38pm caiu uma carga de água que encharcaria mesmo quem tivesse guarda-chuva. Bom tempo para estar em casa!

Best place to catch the sunrise... without leaving the house!
O melhor local para apanhar o nascer do sol... sem sair de casa!

To Pain
by Dan Gerber
You begin the moment I wake up,
and even the moment before,
abiding companion, herald of my life,
though a little too strident at times.
I have little white pills to calm,
and even still, you. Sometimes
I think you've finally walked out,
but a little neglect is all it takes to win you back.
When you've stayed too long, I might
demand to know why you've chosen me.
What I may have done to summon you.
What retribution you represent.
But you tell me nothing more,
only that you are part of what a body feels,
only that you're part of what a heart endures
and what a mind transforms.
You are, after all,
like the fog this morning,
obscuring almost everything,

obscuring almost everything,
till a tree emerges just beyond our yard,
and then, again, a fence corner
coming almost imperceptibly
back into view,
halfway up the next hill.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

Carrie
by Ted Kooser
“There’s never an end to dust
and dusting,” my aunt would say
as her rag, like a thunderhead,
scudded across the yellow oak
of her little house. There she lived
seventy years with a ball
of compulsion closed in her fist,
and an elbow that creaked and popped
like a branch in a storm. Now dust
is her hands and dust her heart.
There’s never an end to it.

O meu país não deixou
Depois quis ir jogar a bola
A minha mãe não deixou
Tive vontade de voltar a escola
Mas o doutor não deixou
Fechei os olhos e tentei dormir
Aquela dor não deixou
Ó meu anjo da guarda
Faz-me voltar a sonhar
Faz-me ser astronauta e voar
O meu quarto é o meu mundo
O ecrã é a janela
Não choro em frente à minha mãe
Eu que gosto tanto dela
Mas esta dor não quer desaparecer
Vai-me levar com ela
Ó meu anjo da guarda
Faz-me voltar a sonhar
Faz-me ser astronauta e voar
Acordar meter os pés no chão
Levantar, pegar o que tens mais a mão
Voltar a rir, voltar a andar
Voltar Voltar
Voltarei
Voltarei
Voltarei
Voltarei

Num dia de verão com chuva miúda e máxima de 16 graus
foi a azalea para o jardim apanhar água.
Acabado o recreio porque a noite arrefece, voltou para casa
encharcada de felicidade!
