Exfoliating and musings

Life lately is like an exfoliant, stripping away any protective layers I’ve built up around my feelings and leaving my inner side raw and exposed. I don’t like it, although I can’t help being thrilled at the fact that stuff is actually changing, sad as that may sound. Is any change good? I don’t know.

Gorgeous Gumtree

I love Gumtree, it’s one of my fave London-based sites. And this ad is just fantastic…
Hi I’m Anna. I’m looking for a fellow streaker – preferably a female – (or better a group of streakers). I’ve never done it but always wanted to try it at sport events or just in the city centre. If [...]

Pop Culture

I’ve just discovered a great site called Album Vote, giving a definitive list of the 100 greatest albums of all time. But the best part of the site is the facility that allows you to see what was number 1 on the day you were born. In case anyone wants a laugh, here’s my list:

Here we go again…

Edit: The next door neighbours came back last night and found Venus locked in their house. She was okay, just very thirsty. She’d been in there for two days!

Danger! Danger! High Voltage!

Just managed to drag myself out of a Danger Nap, the kind that wipes out a few hours of an otherwise pleasurable sunny evening and leaves you hyper and wakeful half the night. It was difficult to resist though, the moment I sunk down on my bed I started to drift off, and in my [...]

London recovering

On Sunday I took the tube for the first time since the terrorist attacks in London that killed over 50 people. The mood in the city, but especially on public trasport, was eerie.

Posty/sleep patterns

The post usually arrives quite late at our house, but today has to be a record; 9.55pm! This is definitely an all time low. I think maybe our postman is on something.
Talk of being on something, I keep sleeping in the day. Very stupid for someone who has slight depressive tendancies, I mean it’s about [...]
