The plants have had it

Gelbe Parks in #London, wie hier #Greenwich #Park im August 2022. Rechts wurde noch gewässert, links "Natur". In all meinen Jahren in London hatte ich das nie erlebt. Hat mich wirklich schockiert. // #Parched parks in London in August 2022. This is #GreenwichPark, with a stark contrast between areas that were watered (right) and areas that were not (left). In all my London years I've never seen this and it was quite shocking.

I could be parched
But not because of the sun
Not in Glasgow eh?

Stop running from the rain !!!

You ain't gonna melt
like that bitch of a witch
from that classic flick
who had it coming
but I digress...

Take the time
from your neatly pressed life
to open wide...

Allow the drops
to bounce off
your #parched tongue...

Treat your crusty self
to a full service soaking
and let yourself get
gloriously wet

He spoke in long sentences about how #parched he was. After every long run-on sentence, he would take a drink of something from a strangely designed bottle. No one knew what he was drinking until Roger got a whiff with his wolf nose. It was sea water with extra fish poop. He asked Mortis why he drank sea water and why add extra fish poop. He said something about his people "do that" and blah blah blah... "Atlantis". The sentences were too long & interest was lost. #FromOneLine 334 #vss365

Water of knowledge
why is your throat still so #parched?
Refusing to drink.

“I’m #parched,” said Ian, “Want coffee? I don’t think you’re going home.”
“Thanks,” said Ava. She went back into the office. The police and plates of congealed pasta had gone.
“You OK to be here?” asked her manager.
“I want his actions to stay in the office,” she said. #vss365
