I watch the clothes spin like a dervish against a strong breeze, a semaphore of t-shirts, socks and knickers. They form codes of colour and shape, flags sending out a signal. What was once luxuriant and seductive, racy even, has become practical, mundane, perfunctory. Time to splash out on that satin number my husband and I keep joking about. Interspersed are the bright shades of the girls’ clothes that reflect my choices for them. It will not be too long before independence, maturity and awakening are the new codes that are written.
Do you really want an answer to the question, ”Who are you?”
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.
