Sets and Setsability

 It’s the set of three for me, even things waiting to be set up with a dedicated tableau are given a temporary set place of three, here two modern pieces and a vintage souvenir of the Jenolan Caves with its psychic stalagmite emanating its own aura, are all the better for being set up as a trio. More brio, mor trifectas please. More setsability.   

Two Birds in the Blossom

 While one might say these birds, the green porcelain, the small black bird and their two amigos,  more easily seen below, are if not in hand then at hand, they are also in, or at least proximate to, the bush, in this case cherry blossom. The duality of birds being neither here nor there,  there being more than two, the blossom being at its optimal pink poised  position, ready to float down if ruffled, is one way of looking at things.  Wallace Stevens moments everywhere. 

Double Double Dutching - Bart Fakes Fancy Mini-Break

 Bart Brassica is ambivalent about holidays, preferring to abide his time at home but, mindful of his social media profile sometimes will faux-cerise his background and write a witty tag line to incinerate - his word not mine - that he is exoterating ( again a Bartism  which I’ve picked up from his Insta post- and in case you wonder what the flapjack he is on about this is portmanteau for making leisure activities more  exotic ) - or at least  that he is making holiday hay . While this Dutch Motel was once, and might still be, on Route 22, Bart notes the duplicate double digit, its duplicate signage and firmly  believes this guarantees that even if Mavis Eggwhistle does appear, he will get off Scotch Free.
