The lane has dried up a bit, so we don't need to cross a ford by the pool in our neighbours' field. There is no longer a need for waterproof shoes or boots. The surface is a bit broken, but I can look up instead of looking down. The wind is north-westerly. I can see clouds. In meteorology I can find ten names for different clouds. How many names are there in Cornish? There are not ten cloud names. My favourite nicknames ar "King of the Clouds" (for cumulonimbus) and "mackerel sky" (for cirrocumulus). "Cumulus" means "heap". The clouds can be piled up from a low level to a very high level. "Nimbus" is the name for clouds bringing rain and snow. These are the dark clouds, grey or black. "Cirrus" means "lock or tuft of hair". All cirrus clouds are very high. There is ice in them.

I'm a proper lazybones today. I found an old blog (August 2018) and decided to recycle it. I like reusing lots of things! I was brought up after the war, in a spirit of make do and mend. We didn't squander a single thing. I was satisfied with my verses in the first place, so why shouldn't I recycle them?
