DAYS OUT/NiGHTS iN: Bucolic Hell & Battling Insomnia (Again!)

A bucolic scene? Not quite…

I took the above photograph yesterday, whilst on my delivery rounds. I thought, ‘Wow, how beautiful!’ When I saw the animals (horses, that is) and flowers.

I initially drove right past. But I thought, ‘No, Seb, take time and enjoy the beauty that’s all around you.’ So I parked up, and took the two following pics:

Lovely Georgian-era property in nice expansive grounds.
Much the same pic as at the top of the post.*

The reason I specify horses, re animals, above, is that if you look carefully at the top pic, you’ll see two humanoids, at far right. I’m assuming now, after a ‘chat’ with the younger of the two, that they might be father and son?

This uncouth hayseed advised me in no uncertain terms to go forth and multiply, and suchlike amicable exhortations. I attempted calm reasoning, to no avail. What a prize cunt!

* Only without the complete arsehole visible in it.

LATER THE SAME DAY…

Once abed, I found that my agitated mind kept returning to this unpleasant encounter, preventing rest, let alone sleep. I abandoned the snooker (Bingham vs Jak Jones), and even resorting to YT rain vids didn’t do the trick.

Nice dual Folio edition.

So eventually I gave up trying to sleep, picked this handsome Folio edition off the bookshelves, and set off down the rabbit hole, with Alice.

Slightly misted camera lens?

Not only is Lewis Carroll’s writing utterly brilliant. The complimentary genius level artwork by John Tenniel redoubles the magic.

Ace writing complemented by superlative art.

I read about half the book. Managed a few hours sleep. Then had to get up to pee.

Good ol’ Father William!

Another dose – I almost finished it – brought on a second and fuller nights repose. Thankyou, Carroll and Tenniel!
