Circuit

Walking along through the woods below Blacka Moor, who should run past me but Jessica Ennis-Hill and her husband Andy. For anyone who may not have heard of Jessica, she was Britain's gold medallist in the women's heptathlon event at the  London Olympics of 2012. In her illustrious athletics career, she also won three world championship gold medals. She is arguably  Sheffield's most famous and best loved daughter.  Anyway, I was out for a circuitous walk beyond the suburbs following a two mile route I worked out thirty years ago.

Bum Marks

 I’m just given the cottage a once over The bathroom is spruced and the kitchen and living room are immaculate  I’ve got friends coming around for supper.  The first time I’ve had friends around since before lockdown  On the hall wall there is a scuff mark One day I will paint over it but not yet. I hope my guests don’t think I’m a slob But to be honest I don’t care if they do. The scuff mark is of William’s bum He loved to rub it on the wall and did so until he squealed in painful pleasure The marks are  layers of Welsh terrier hair oil Left with much delight and satisfaction over several years One day, I will paint over them But not yet William, a few weeks before he died from Going Gently https://ift.tt/3wM28k6
