We'd have done better keeping East. <br /><br />Today's washing is ready to un-peg from the line. I have taken a couple of photos, though I haven't examined them yet. It's a very dark wash and it may not be sufficiently differentiated as a scene, do anything with. It will be interesting to see what digitally materialises.<br /><br />The only reason for taking the pix was because I only have one 'washing' picture in my photographic trove for possible future use.<br /><br />Thanks for the poetic compliment.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-17961608792259250722011-09-04T14:19:08.118+01:002011-09-04T14:19:08.118+01:00Gosh, ZACL, you're a poet!

Will require the inspiration of hanging out more washing outside (it's too wet at present) and seeing what happens.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-88147132924171607832011-09-04T12:36:56.156+01:002011-09-04T12:36:56.156+01:00Vincent,
I am fascinated by your replies in verse...Vincent,<br /><br />I am fascinated by your replies in verse. I see what you mean by verse and thematic connections.<br /><br />It would gladden me if you said more about your sentiments about the washing on the line. Your thoughts tend to come from different sources to mine. It greatly interests me.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Shades reach to the sun,<br />legs move in the wind,<br />their colours run,<br />In warmth they dry".ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-6522256473966168052011-09-04T09:04:24.386+01:002011-09-04T09:04:24.386+01:00I was gladdened by the photo of washing on the lin...I was gladdened by the photo of washing on the line. <br /><br />Keiko was saying it was <i>like</i> linked verse, by analogy.<br /><br />Here is some linked verse from a translation of Basho's travel sketches:<br /><br />A solitary crane<br />In the half-reaped paddies<br />The autumn deepens<br />In the village<br />(<i>written by Tosei</i>)<br /><br />Under this bright moon<br />Over the village,<br />Let me help the farmers <br />Harvest rice.<br />(<i>written by Soha</i>)<br /><br />A farmer's child<br />Hulling rice<br />Arrests his hands<br />To look at the moon.<br />(<i>written by Tosei</i>)<br /><br />- and so it goes on, with different contributors maintaining the thematic connection.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-55442065935523968202011-09-01T17:11:55.679+01:002011-09-01T17:11:55.679+01:00Really, windy throughout the year in NW London! I...Really, windy throughout the year in NW London! I am flabbergasted. You must say more about this phenomenon. How did you deal with it in relation to your plot?<br /><br />I always joke that what we called a breeze, soft Southerners would call a wind, and what we would call a wind, would be described as a gale. There's no doubt Mr F, weather patterns are changing.<br /><br />We heard that some of our haphazard weather experiences are, in part, due to the Gulf Stream moving further south. I wish it would hurry up and move back to where it was, conditions were more tolerable.<br /><br />After our dreadful last two Winters, the last one in particular, being indescribably grim, we hoped for a reasonable Summer season, (by our standards). It's nowhere in sight yet!ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-42568668805155916412011-09-01T16:25:06.648+01:002011-09-01T16:25:06.648+01:00I do sympathise that your weather has been like it...I do sympathise that your weather has been like it has! <br />It does seem that climate change is making the weather more unsettled and extreme worldwide. <br />I think that here the most noticable thing has been how windy it has been throughout the year.

However, I am impressed that my general theme might have connected with something.<br /><br />The picture I uploaded was of washing drying sometime in June 2011, not earlier this week. At the time, I took the photograph because I liked the combination of colours, the types of clothes and the trouser legs pegged on the line, yet they appeared to be 'running' in the wind.<br /><br />I agree, washing on the line does have a certain comfortable feel about it.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-91450162817183631292011-08-31T21:08:07.403+01:002011-08-31T21:08:07.403+01:00ZACL,

Nowadays, I see it here there in the blog sphere.<br /><br />On the photo, I like the pink and blue. They look swaying in the wind. The Washing line somehow makes us feel comfortable. <br /><br />I'm glad it didn't get too wet.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.com
