We tried hiring a freelancer to do some work in Northern Minnesota yesterday.

summer is suddenly upon peckham. i can tell because it smells of blue ice lollies and warm dog shit. also, the ice pole season has started and ice pole opening duty is a prerequisite for jolly smalls who otherwise have a tendency toward histrionics when frustrated by unopened packaging. outside play is one of the best bits about summer and i like to encourage outside eating, outside toilet training and outside colouring in. if i thought i could get away with it i'd probably have them sleep out

MAASIM, Sarangani (May 2, 2008)* – A cargo vessel makes its passage from Sarangani Bay to Celebes Sea. For centuries, the bay has been an economic route among traders and navigators. As a tribute to the bounty of the bay, Sarangani is celebrating its 3rd Sarangani Bay Festival on May 16-18 with beach sports, fishing and cooking contests, and other races highlighted by the swim across the bay. *(Photo by Cocoy Sexcion/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE).

You may be fishing (as I was) or bird-watching or tramping; anyway, doing something solitary in one of the emptiest corners of the land. Then out of the emptiness rattles a train.
