Wireless flowers

My garden-0066, originally uploaded by Thomas Tolkien.

Another wireless unit bit the dust today. And a ranger extender. I’ve decided to wireless the place with flowers. Wireless flowers. It’ll look much prettier. No cables, no chance of radiation, no chance of a signal and no chance of impending repairs. Just plant another one next year. Perfect.

Squashed car is still on my drive. At this rate someone will tow it away as an abandoned vehicle before the garage picks it up. How many emails does it take to book a car in for repairs? 231 so far.

 

My pot hibiscus

Flowered for the first time this summer. Wilted now. One flower a year?

Formentor, Majorca

Formentor, Majorca, originally uploaded by Thomas Tolkien.

This is where I want to be – now. I took this in 1991, hanging over the side of a microlight with a Pentax MV-1 film camera. I even changed the film at 150ft flying over the beach. No doubt health and safety would stipulate that wouldn’t be allowed any more. Is anything allowed any more? One day boredom will be disallowed and there’ll be nothing left.

In Scarborough. Seemed a touch out of place.
