High Pressure, A Puzzle and A Poem

Another hot day with high pressure and our ship’s barometer is overflowing which usually means a storm is on its way  – and just as I started to write, lightning flashed outside.

The following turned up when I uploaded today’s photos and I have no idea what I was trying to capture but I love the colours in  it. It’s a piece of art!!

Here’s a poem for you tonight, another by a favourite poet, Imtiaz Dharker. The opening verse is how it has felt here for the last few days, needing ‘space, light, empty air.”as the heat feels so oppressive and all the curtains are drawn to keep the house cool. But this is indeed the time to ‘be alive” and to feel all the “excitement.”
