The visit and the argument part 1

The visit

The landscape is a fascinating intelligence that can not see its own reflection. It has a grace that is peaceful and lively at times. I can watch it for hours at dawn, now wintertime is over and spring has begun. The less noble creatures and the more noble ones stand side by side on Castle hill, disinterested in the parameters of my isolation and more preoccupied with their own survival.

My nephew in law came to visit with his mother. It was one afternoon whilst the winter was very bright and extremely cold, a dry Easterly wind brought snow to the Northern areas of the country, 15' drifts. We chose a record, he demonstrated a surprising adroitness and with some assistance placed the vinyl on the spindle, whilst his mother was showing photographs, on her i pad.

I found a harmonica and connected it to the 'Brace'. Instantly Txbxx was a one man band, so that he could play the ukulele at the same time or even his drum that he brought down to show us.

The Argument

'What have you done with your phone?'
said Jnyx
'I tried to drown it.'
I watched an advert that was like somebody urinating on the screen, silent from the toilet bowl.
'I even tried to flush the phone, it wouldn't go down.' I explained
'Why?' she said, 'why?'
'Why would you do that?'
