just before dawn

joni mitchell wrote that song about clouds, but wasn't she living in california by then?

you don't know about clouds until you've missed a number of celestial events because you live in england...

me & dinah had this notion that we were going to cycle off with a tent and be lying out under the stars right now gazing at the meteor shower...

a pinch of salt should be taken with this notion i must admit but had the weather been with us it could have happened...

but no, not even just cycling about the deserted streets gazing at the sky in the east...

or on a high point in the city, like that high bit in hampstead heath.. (although that's probably quite gay at night...)

not to be...

clouds got in my way...
