today a smoking courier knocked on my door and handed me a large parcel... i was not expecting anything (no recent online purchases on ebay or other)... then i recognised the hand writing of a very dear friend in France!

inside was this beautiful antique tea strainer



...and then there was this handbag...perhaps crocodile skin? it was bought in a 'vide grenier'... "from an amazing old french lady sitting on a deck chair with twinkly eyes visible behind 1950's red lipstick & thick powder! I bet it has some stories to tell!"

with all the junk on the footpath waiting for the salvo's pickup
is made an ordinary, incongruous sitting space

spring...
the nests are already abandoned
there must be some new yellow eyed black and white birds
finding wing & somewhere to be territorial about


these fruit stickers were a winter's worth of eating...
they were placed on a kitchen wall in a small clustered patch.
the deal was that when they were removed it was a signal for
the winter beard to be shaven off
