19/07/2010: I was driving down the split-level section of the M5 between Portishead and Clevedon. It was lashing down with rain but the clouds parted and in my rear-view mirror I saw a really strong rainbow arching over the motorway; it seemed to be following the contour of the land on which the road is constructed. It was stunning. I wish I could have captured it on camera, but going 70MPH kinda precludes that option...still, I've got that vivid memory in my mind, and that counts for more doesn't it? A memory is something that nothing can take away from you, except old age, disease and blunt force trauma.
02/08/2010: Running through the woods near my home; the early evening air was heavy with the scent of buddleia. Every ragged breath I drew smelled awesome; it almost seemed worth the trouble. Of course it was worth it; today was my first day back at work, and I've been sat in an anodyne call centre stuffing envelopes. I craved nature.
