.liquorice.

this is good
maybe this is what the time has been for
to clear

a reassessment
of stuff

our preferences

i have to tell you in all excitement the new pencil sharpener arrived yesterday

described as longer lasting and made my pencils pointy

the lines came fine

i told her and she
said she will like
one too
so it is in the post

she was given a bottle of jersey milk with an image of a cow imprinted and planned to make
rice pudding
with grated stuff to taste

i don’t like milk puddings yet did not say so as not to spoil the story for her

i like liquorice
