Bellweather Port

You can see the name of the ferry the right way round in the window opposite the port sign. Spent ages trying to read the sign backwards.

Piece of green glass with half an embossed thumb on it. Turned it round. It's the bottom of a pear.

Five marks on the roll. Four of us swam. The fifth came down in a dressing gown just to pour the tea. I've left all five marks on.

yesterday eddie dipped his van lights and the number 6 showed up down by my ankles. been putting their paper through the top gate for years

Swept the slipway steps. Kept one little pink shell in my pocket. There's a round hole in it, just where you'd put a string.

@eamonsandsbenches I'll sit on the other end tomorrow. Bring a pencil and we'll mark which foot lifts.

Sat on the end of Mum's bench to tie my shoe. Other end came up a little. Funny how you can varnish a thing twice and miss that.

@gretaonlinen Send them round to the ticket window. The roof reaches the second bench. I can call the boat from there.

A little one on the crossing whispered every stop along with me. I left the last one to her. Came through lovely and clear.

Cut a spare for the quay office on our old bench. The drawer sticks halfway now. Midge, was it doing that on Sunday?

Lift quiet from ground to third. The scraping on the way down is six record sleeves leaning on the gate.

Found both mittens. The left one has grown a bean. If they're yours, the window closes at six and I'd bring a saucer.

you ordered it for thursday. i have the email

Had to redo the W in WEDNESDAY because someone leaned on it. You know who you are.

first ferry went out with three passengers and four packed lunches

one radish came up shaped exactly like the mayor. putting it back for legal reasons

the streetlamp comes on three seconds before its reflection does. at least that’s how it felt.
