. . . or shall i just call it 'jeanetic modification' 

Dad & I have a reasonable amount in common - no great surprise there.
We both have strange thumbs which are prone to subluxing
We both enjoy pottering around & we both prefer old comfy clothes to new ones.
His jeans basically fell apart.
I took the opportunity to repair them.
We're both happy about that. 

Tell me about the pin 
Pointless really

the interval between cleaning my teeth in the morning & in the evening
seems longer these days 
the interval between poems is 2 days
I am consistently 2 poems behind

the interval between meals is less
unless i am sleeping longer hours, i am eating more
the interval between going to sleep & waking hasn't changed
i am definitely eating more

​the interval between exercise is longer
i am moving less
the interval between day & night is lengthening 
soon i will be able to walk in daylight after 6pm

the almond is laden with blossom & the nectarine is about to break bud
spring is just around the corner
the freesia are in full bloom
it is likely to rain for the next 2 weeks

there are 2 mantis ootheca on the nectarine this year
i'm not sure what this means other than i recently discovered the mantis' egg case is called ootheca
& i wanted to use that word in this poem
