Wedding Belles

Last night on Channel 4. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it, but I really did. It had heart, man. Or should that be, hen. By the end of the two hours I was thinking in a Scottish accent. I especially liked Michelle Gomez, formerly of Green Wing fame. It was beautiful at the end because [...]

That was quick

My life as just taken an extraordinary turn for the better. Not my love-life – just my life. I’ll explain later, maybe days or a few weeks later. But I posted this now because I wanted to remember the day. The day that things started to be alright again.
Blimey!

There’s no love no money no thrill anymore

Clearing out old memories and I’m there again…
Jagged Little Pill, so battered the writing on the cassette is worn away. The summer I turned 14 I played it so much it broke and had to be mended with sellotape. After that it always skipped from Not The Doctor to Wake Up and when I listen [...]

I want you to notice when I’m not around

Today I had an idea.
Instead of running away from pain like a cat on hot coals, maybe I should just rest awhile with it, content to watch it pass through. As it is I’m like a nervous fire-walker, sprinting to the end because I don’t really believe. If I linger awhile, perhaps I’ll discover that [...]

You know there’s nothing more than this

Yesterday I lay out in the back garden for ages, reading and feeling the warm sun beat down. I plucked grass with my feet, and it was cool and squeaking between my toes. Then the cat came and sat on the rug with me and I teased her until she got cross. I read a [...]

Groovy site: Crying While Eating

I’ve been meaning to blog about this site for a while but I never got around to it. I haven’t watched many of the videos, as people crying (even pretending to cry) makes me cry – but the pictures are very funny… I love the selection of things people are crying about, and the occasional [...]

Strumming my pain with his fingers etc

A little while a go I thought it might be interesting to play one of my ex boyfriends blues songs on my iTunes. Listened experimentally and it wasn’t so bad. Bit wistful, kind feelings, some sad ones. I miss him.
Now I’m listening to the CD that he used to put on all the time when [...]

Humour Radar

I have this nice idea, that there are lots of people out there in the world whom we could get on really well with. By which I mean, there is someone for everyone.
They can take some finding though, but depending on your humour levels that can be an entertaining journey in itself. For example, I [...]
