dreich day -
lairnin tae yaise'r wand
the blin cailleach's smirk
spreids




dull day -
learning to use her cane
the blind lady's smile
spreads

  4. As we see there's never a dull day.

    Btw Jon - tomorrow is the annual Ben Nevis Hill Race! (couple of small paragraphs and a photo of the Ben on my running blog).
