Thank god for cyclamen, keeps you going through winter.

Came across this flash fiction from a Bath Flash Award anthology, was longlisted seven years ago.

I accidentally tried to send a copy of WIP to 'fax recipient' instead of memory stick & got a waterfall of chaos, fax this, fax that and I can barely even remember what the fuck a fax was. Do they still exist?

Autumn

Glorious September sun with a hurricane, weather in Scotland today.

Love sunflowers before they bloom, their faces so tight, like they are concentrating so much on opening.

The wee light on the leaves is a boat passing on the foggy Forth from my window tonight.

Poppy blew onto back door, stuck there like a butterfly.

How lovely and unexpected to see cameo of Joe Strummer playing a guitarist - Burning Lights - in I Hired a Contract Killer (1990, Aki Kaurismäki). youtu.be/U67UDuZpJe4 Streaming on Mubi.
