A cuddle with Enzo

Torrential rain this morning. Everything greening again.  I carefully crafted a cover letter etc. and sent off the MS of Gordon Road to a pamphlet publisher, who I happened to speak to recently. The idea of actually writing a poem is something I can't face.   

At lunchtime Lorraine returned from rhymetime (and a snack) with Beth and Enzo. I had a cuddle with Enzo who definitely smiled at me, and made a proto-chuckle. I'm beginning to see what all the fuss is about with babies.

Then off into the wide yonder for a walk when it was no longer pouring. Kept fairly close to shelter, but managed a couple of hours without getting wet. A gale blowing straight off the sea. Home and I cooked a rather hot vegetable chilli, and Lorraine sat upstairs with Delores, who she had bumped into earlier.  We all ate and watched music videos and chatted. Delores made us watch a Tiny desk concert of an Argentinian group, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso who were rather marvellous, as well as Miley Cyrus who I was surprised to enjoy too. She is an excellent person to hang out with.
