the loved one arrived home very late from an exhausting day at the office to be greeted by this question ...
"have you spent your day dreaming up new ways to make me happy ?"
of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

the photographer's lament, or why truck driving and photography are uneasy companion activities
it seems to me that a lot of my favourite chunks of landscape are actually composite views, memorized incompletely from multiple whizz-by glimpses
today this difficulty imposed itself twice, because you see so many things from up in the cab that aren't always accessible on the ground
last week i saw two archaic and sunlit dappled pigs under some trees at burwash, and then a line of youthful oaks where a hedge had been removed to create a lovely long undulating wheat field just north-west of flimwell sloping towards the reservoir
taking the trouble to park and walk this morning was a huge disappointment, the sun kept hiding and i couldn't break through the bushes and brambles to get the perspectives i needed
so i'll be going back ... if the customers down there stay loyal !
