Evening chill in the air

althou its still summer, a sea wind rustling the leaves and an early evening chill and maybe just because i was feeling a little sad walking somewhere a few days ago, felt very much for a moment like somewhere id been before

Japanese Legends

When i was little my parents told us storys when we went to bed that they made up. One was about a mouse that lived in a drawer under the cooker, others about our chinese geese Chow and Lei that lived in the orchard and then there was finger man and stinky poo that lived in the medicine cupboard and came to school with us. Somewhere in their attic is an old tape machine with these storys.

Thought about this today, for no particular reason or maybe because of a Clematis called Fuji-Musume, with beautiful sky blue flowers which is also a famous classical dance from the Kabuki theater in Japan. Fuji (wisteria) Musume (maiden)...a tale about the 'Wisteria Maiden'

An army of chimps escaped from their enclosure at lunchtime today

and made their way to their keepers area where their food is prepared, causing Chester Zoo to be evacuated. After lunch, the chips returned to their enclosures, some with very full bellys. :O)
