so this is the way it usually happens – as i meander through my days, observing, experiencing, pondering, inevitably something springs to the front of my mind: “that would make a good blog post”.

and so i file it away, a little breadcrumb left on the expanse of forest floor. at some later point, i sit down in front of my computer, fingers poised in anticipation, wrists resting, spine aligned, and i cast my memory back to try to find that breadcrumb, to tease it out, turn it into a substantial meal, something i can get my teeth into. i knead it through the fingertips, add bits here and there, roll it around on the tongue. eventually, finally, hopefully, lovingly producing something satisfying.

except when i go back in search of that crumb only to get lost on the way, or find it disappeared, or discover a pebble instead of bread. alone in the empty woods with only the whistle of the wind through the dark shadows of the trees.

this is my longwinded way of saying i have nothing of substance to blog about today.

the clash – lost in the supermarket
