The Golden Bather

Beleza
Beleza
Now, as the air becomes clearer and that special yellow-filtered light glows in the world outside my window, I am once more at home. In the sense of Fuchsia's attic in Peake's 'Gormenghast'. This is my time of year, always has been - I don't know why ... add it to my growing list of unknowns. But that it is, of that I have no doubt. When that first chill morning arrives and the clear light fills the thin air. When the leaves begin to take on their autumn collection. The New Look - every year. I must have happy memories ... although I am damned if I can quite place them. Like so many things, just beyond my peripheral vision, seen but unseen. Where the crock of gold is found. The 'cnoc', the Celtic 'hill', where the halls of gold lie under and are guarded jealously by the old folk, the 'sidh' (pronounced 'she', maybe Shi* ). So, an autumnal day and one of those with Canaletto skies and Klimt colours. I am skiving, playing hookie, not working when I should be. Sometimes enough is too much and you just have to say, 'Fuck it'. Let them wait. The moment is too good not to be savoured. So I will go and tend my sorely neglected garden. Recharge my batteries, dream some dreams, re-unite with my muse. A good weekend to all!

Thank you and a good weekend to you too - and a good Autumn and Winter. I truly enjoy the Autumn and Winter. Wish it was colder sometimes here in Denmark, miss the snow from home. The world is getting warmer, that is a fact, but luckily, the dark Winter nights are still to be counted on. I do so enjoy their warmth on a cold day.

Just taking a lunch break from hacking back the jungle! ;) Glad you share my pleasure in the Autumn - I see you have been on a fungi foray! ... another of the pleasures of the Fall!

And I really should make time to learn more about them so I know which ones I can safely pick and put on a plate.

really i don't know what to think about autumn. i don't like it because it makes me sleepy, less energetic, all i really want to do during autumn is sitting under blanket with tea and good book ;)
but i just love autumn because of colours, fog... trees...i love to sit in my window and just look at those grey things, falling rain...

A very useful English phrase, Armando - use it when 'I'm done' or 'That's enough' isn't quite sufficient! ;)

Gormenghast is my favourite of the trilogy ... Peake writes beautifully, lucidly and precisely and yet manages to make his fantastic satire so real ... he must have spent some time in the Cambridge Colleges!!! ;))))
