I've been reading a poetry anthology and noting poems which I might read in the evening – but it's time for coffee & a bun😀
I've been reading poems every day for over a year. They are on my Facebook page and on my Flickr Photostream: Video Poems
The subject was my father's work bench stool that he used while I was growing up. I remember sitting on his lap as a little boy while he would work on things or reload shells. It would later also serve as a telephone seat when I would use our only phone located in the office/ repair shop of our home based LP gas buisness to talk to my friends in the seventies. It now sits in my home as a reminder of those distant events.
I need to get rid of these, so they're going on Freecycle. Two stools that go up and down. I'm sure they'd look lovely in your kitchen!
Sadly without the signature location rondel on top of the fingerpost, Bussey Stool is one of the strangest of strange names to be found within the county of Dorset. Bussey Stool is a farm, whilst Bussey Stool Park is a kilometre further on through Bloody Shard Gate.
I can find nothing about the origin of the word 'bussey' whilst 'stool' is from the Old English stōl (“chair, seat, throne”). At the 'park', the Ordnance Survey map shows remains of an Iron Age hill fort that crowns Bussey Down. It is apparently also sometimes known as Caesar's Camp no doubt due to the proximity of a Roman Road. There is no public access to the site being on a large estate of a well-known local bigwig and the nearest right-of-way is almost half a kilometre away.
Had a good afternoon shooting session with Dave and Jacques on campus today. We'll have to go back, just too much to shoot.
Basement of Axel Rod. Note: all I did was put down my tripod and fire the shot, stool was just sitting there, light on.

This was once a trendy foot stool but the cat obviously discovered that hessian was wonderful to sharpen its claws upon. Unloved, unwanted and soaked with heavy rain this patriotic piece of furniture is dumped in the street.
