Sat

1. We switch around our weekend: chores can wait until tomorrow.

2. The man sits high in his canoe and zips along the canal. Very inspiring!

2b. I’ve been into lines recently – the strips of decking and lines of bolts on the Liffey boardwalk, the slats on the fence at the allotment – and today it’s the reflection of the power lines in the canal. John notices they look like sound waves as the apparently still water shifts – and when Lily plods in, the wrinkles change direction and volume. We watch them until they settle again.

2c. The spray of water from Lily’s wagging tail.

3. Sweet wood smoke and high laughter float up the garden from the neighbors’ firepit.
