(With apologies to the well-known song....) The sun is a-shining, you hang out the washing and hey-ho, look at it snow. You bring in the washing because is is snowing and hey-ho, see the sun shine!

Dancing in sunshine
with breeze-blown gay abandon;
washing on the line.

Busy day,
making the most of the weather;
washing, cycling, gardening.
No time for computing!

Washing hangs limply
in the still air.
I watch as from the cherry tree
a lone leaf drops.

Whenever you go away,
however brief your stay,
on your return you’re sure to find
the houseplants are dry,
the garden’s run wild,
it’s simply amazing
how the washing has piled
and dust has settled everywhere.
You rush around until you are tired
and there is no doubt in your mind
that what you need is a holiday,
but,
you know,
however brief your stay,
on your return you’re sure to find…

What a day —
non-stop drizzle, dank and grey.
How am I
