Regeneration

Outside, lone Mme Alfred Carriere bloom adorns sprawling almost-bare branch. Pink-tinged cream. Hopeful in anticipation of spring. Purple lasiandra proud in hardwon glory. Delicate white primula. Kowhai comfortably settled in. Grass crying out for a lawnmower. Weather unsettled. Open to interpretation. Inside, Pat Barker's Regeneration calls to me from a pile made up of Animal Dreams, About a Boy, A Bit On the Side, Book Lovers Guide to Great Reading.
