Different Day

It’s a different day

I tell the dog. 

We have to be quiet and cosy

Unlike Poppet, Lola is happy to lie on the bed and let walk time sail past while the wind blows a hooley outside.

When I moved to Brighton one of the first things to happen was that the dog fell on her worst side. Lots of people in the park helped get her into a vehicle and bring her home, and as soon as possible I wrangled her to the local vet’s. She began a long summer of treatments which necessitated rest she was unwilling to take, so it was good that we had visits from Joe and his dog Minnie most days, and it was hot, which helps with languidness. The vet said 

No pebbly beaches

And Brighton is all pebbly beaches - mostly mountainous, too, mirroring the work of the waves. So I rarely took her to the beach and it wasn’t part of our daily routine. Lola has no such arthritic issues, and once the 

No Dogs Allowed

seasonal diktat was lifted and we could go on the whole beach regularly that walk became a new experience for me as a daily meditation, as well as a pleasure for the dog. Lola likes pebbles. She likes their mouth feel. But it turns out that not any pebble will do. Last week she carried one all the way home and she shows it to visitors and carries it around like a toy. As if to make up for her theft, the other day she took a pebble from the Lawns and deposited it on the beach.

With such glorious weather over the weekend, it seemed like a good idea to walk all the way back to xc towers ( 🤔🤣), it was not the best idea we have ever had is it @somecandytalking69 though to be fair it was worth the pain, to spend time together. There were lots of opportunities to capture more #cityspirit shots but with the sunny weather I really wished I had an adjustable filter from @kfconcept or for more convenience just bought the @olympusuk #em1mkiii with built in filters! But the #em5mkiii is just so good, and perfect weight for my injury, it also takes a damn good photo too! . . . . #citystreets #seaside #cityspiritproject #personalproject #brightonphotographer #brightonseafront #hoveactually @natgeoyourshot #travelphotographer #travellocal #travelgram #longexposure #handheldlongexposures #busystreet #lockdownwalks #capturingbritain #capturethemoment @visit.brighton @visitengland @visitlondon @southernrailuk #lifefeamer @citysightseeingbrighton @streetphotographyinternational #streetincolor #fineart #newcollection #blueskies #paintingwithcamera #portraitphotographer (at Brighton and Hove Actually) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1soJsjwgg/?igshid=mu40jhle3ubi

World turned upside down

Downstairs neighbour is over 70 and has been told to self isolate. He and a friend came up to ask if I’d share my WIFI which I’m happy to do. He is deaf and usually listens to Radio 4 from 5am and today instead of being irritated, which I sometimes am, I now find the sound bleed actively comforting. A sign of life.

What I can say is I’m grateful to be here in Brighton in my home with my dog. I have a list of niggles with my landlord, but now I don’t want workmen coming in. Good social distancing is way more important than the list of things that need fixed, and what was, a week or two ago, urgent and important is now set aside.

All sorts of things have gone upside down. Some time ago I’d been mistakenly added to a conversation Hazel’s having on i-messenger with her friend Vanessa who is in Spain. For a long time I’d felt like an interloper, as if I was lurking and left out at the same time. I labelled the conversation WHY CAN’T I LEAVE? and the group chat went quiet. This morning Vanessa said “Cos we re locked in .. how are you both ? Xx” and that felt beautiful.

I just want to congratulate my son Isaac for winning 'Brighton Food Hero' at the Brighton Food and drink awards this evening, this award is given to the person each year who has made an outstanding contribution to the Brighton food and drink industry. His restaurant Isaac At was also voted second best restaurant in Brighton. So well deserved, a really proud mum moment for me!
