 All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
‘Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad World

season of change...

it's not the heat that gets you....

At times one might wish for a little less global warming.  It’s days like today (and yesterday, and the day before, and the week before), when a little rain may not necessarily be a bad thing.

This morning the sun was a miserable little nubbin in the sky - sqinting through what tourists may think of as haze…. with an orange luminescence over the harbour.  It didn’t look fresh.  It didn’t look healthy. It didn’t look right.

coming or going....
