When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night.

It is my habit to rise early and sit at the kitchen table letting the morning settle over me. The sun comes up over the harbour which is just at the bottom of the little lane we live on and I love to see it rise above the neighboring housetops and fills the sky with ribbons of bright orange and indigo. Sunday morning I happened to glance out of my tiny kitchen window and just caught a crescent moon setting over the bright end of a beautiful sunrise. I should mention that the pine stands 4 or 5 stories tall. I’m not sure how old it is but can imagine the changes it has seen from it’s lofty view of the harbour.
