Non-conversation during the Proms

I am writing two poems a day, on facing pages of my notebook

Now I don't plan ahead, but think on the spot

Obviously I am hoping for significant insights, miracles

The music is the starting point, the reason for sitting in one place

Musical evening

I was trying to listen to the Prom from my spot on the sofa.

Then I was needed to do things to pizza in the kitchen. I cut a deal which was that I'd do those things in return for a chess game with H in the drawing room. This led to me putting T's Daft Punk record on. There are new big wonderful speakers standing there in the middle of the rug in front of the fireplace. So that meant the Proms plus Feeling Lucky all at once.

Then the church bells started because the ringers practice every Tuesday evening. The icing on the cake was the beeper from the oven in the kitchen.

So there is a snippet from the heatwave of 2013.
