First  words - garbled beyond recognition but finding the connection between the proffered body and sustenance.</p> <p>First leaving, first returning <em>then</em> leaving - the first steps of a  lonesome journey to a far country, of seeking the wily welcome of the open world calling - siren-like - from beyond the walls that time has built.</p> https://archive.rustgeek.me/2010/09/25/summers-end-chicken-fajitas-and-cuts-at-the-beeb/ Sat, 25 Sep 2010 06:48:00 +0000 https://archive.rustgeek.me/2010/09/25/summers-end-chicken-fajitas-and-cuts-at-the-beeb/ <p>Only the most deluded of persons would deny that summer is well and truly over. Not only does it feel quite chilly, the trees also think so. Hyde park, which by much squinting I can just see from my 13th floor window at MO Corp, is covered in a layer of browns, reds, golds and the odd green patch crafted by fallen leaves as the trees acknowledge autumn. The sun on the odd occasion it manages to peek from behind the dull clouds seems weak, tired and offers no real warmth. Moments like these are those which fill me with a misplaced sense of nostalgia. Mercifully, I have my fleece with me as I head off to lunch with the team from work.</p>
