Red Letter Day*

The number 43 bus is red but the view was unremittingly

grey

grey

grey

gray

on this, my blog's

first anniversary.

But having a blog makes you look more carefully

for the red in the grey,

the red, white and grey

the yellow, white and red

the yellow, red and green

the brightly coloured skeins

of threads you pull together

and tidy into balls,

to throw out into the world.

and sometimes people catch them

and throw a ball or two

back to you.

Which is nice.

So thank you to:

maddy, kelli, katie, milly, annie, alice, dottiecookie, nicole, bubblefish, il fratello, baleboosteh, readerguide, patricewilliam, anna, gardenmama, the coffee lady, vanessa, katrina, susan l, sally anne, learningtofollow, slugsontherefrigerator, fuoriborgo, britt-arnhild, l.l.barkat, thaitrait, jennywren, shrub, r2k, liivi, jeanette, elspeth, leah, laurafrantz

and today a blogger sprang to life in front of me

when I least expected it -
