Found myself walking round in unexpected places on the way to events, readings, plays and other more routine visits to the supermarket or dropping off the kids. A carpark in Newcastle, outside an old nightclub in Dumfries, randoming on the Glasgow subway and Galashiels late on a workday evening.
I like these spaces. The fruitful time I can spend between here and there. The commute. The unengaged freedom.
The way the streetlight might suddenly hit a mundane object. And make things quite curious.
The combination, the presentation, the hit of surprise. The stop I didn't expect to make.
A road that suddenly becomes a slab of light. Or a field becomes a pathway.
As you can probably guess I am in a writing phase. Right now.
