WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

The meal

A restaurant picked on passing
Ordering unseen from the mind of the waiter
A quiche - Stilton, apricot...and something.
An innocent enough question, salad or garnish?
We plump for salad and the wait begins
Entertaining the children with stories from old magazines.
Time passes quickly enough,
Behaviour better than expected,
And then if comes,
Quiche lost in a heaving bounty of salad
Every vegetable imaginable dressed and coloured
Textures and flavours fighting and combining
Mouthfuls merged and new pairings discovered
The quiche is the jewel buried within
Name already forgotten, but to be discovered again.
