Wednesday Wordage (wandering westerly)

The plan for today:

land some pixels in cyberspace

percolate coffee on a gas stove

(well, reverse those two)

wash old timer body

scrape sharp object

across lathered face

taxi it to airport

spy countryside

from 400000 feet

tap toes to the Stones

and the Stone Roses

land on the other side

of this Oz island

hire a car

experience The West

back in a week

peace

Monochrome Monday (so many passwords)

Solstice

Those versed in the ancient arts of alchemy, astrology and astronomy will already know that today is our solstice - a time of potent portents when powerful forces are unleashed by the universe. Strangers perform random acts of kindness. Wallets get opened inexplicably. Plastic cards are exchanged for righteous fins, ballads, booze and wax.

And all around Christmas trees an office photocopiers, there is talk of spinning weather systems, spinning waves, spinning politicians and the existence of global warming, Jesus and Santa.

No matter what you believe, I hope you have a brilliant Christmas and a healthy and harmonious New Year.

Keepin it green

Hope you have

a green weekend.

Bristol x Brine

"I lived up at the Cross in a cheap hotel for a month and then found an apartment at North Bondi. I loved it and would have stayed there for life, but then I remarried and had two kids and I've got parents who are getting older here in England, so that's why I'm here." Geoff Barrow of Bristol trip-hoppers Portishead on why he lives there and not at the beach. Either way. they make beautiful sounds and play the Harvest Festival circuit later this year.

Put away the rubber

New idea for a surf comp - a winter contest where you cannot wear rubber. GfG demonstrating below that it can be done in the middle of winter, though sunshine and a big beach bonfire might be mandatory.
