Big Bang

This morning, while I was walking the dog, a slow moving green and white Volkswagen Combi van came down the road from the opposite direction.
In the drivers seat was an elderly man.
He was wearing a long grey beard, a brightly coloured scarf in his hair and had a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Next to him, in the passenger seat was (apart from the beard) an almost identical female version of the man, cigarette included.
And as they passed, waving, I saw that slinking its way with some trepidation across the Combi van's dashboard, was an ancient looking Siamese cat.

The Volcano

The other night my cousin and I went to see The Volcano.
It wasn't doing this, but there's a restaurant with a view of the volcano and people sit inside and eat their dinner and look at it through glass from a very safe distance.

My cousin and I sat outside, and took selfies in the dusk and then waited while the sun went fully down and the glow from the inside of the volcano reflected itself in a single cloud that hovered briefly above it.

And then we got in the car and drove home.

This is my version of a volcano.
