Like a thundering horse

Just suddenly I feel myself wanting to write. There’s a clean untouched notebook downstairs, but I’d have to go and get it and G’s watching TV and I’d feel… that I was making rather a palaver of the whole thing. I don’t want Writing to become something said with a capital letter, the word making [...]

You make me happy when skies are grey

I just got back from Cornwall tonight. On Wednesday I have a single ticket to go back to what now feels like home, and I can’t wait. I’d say I was counting down the hours, but I won’t be as I’ll barely have time for sleep between now and then. Even once I get all [...]

For a time I’ll be here. And then there, then here and then there. And then just there.

So, not really all that complicated I’m back in London for a little while and it’s icky, but I must admit it’s nice having a wide bed that doesn’t tilt in the night at low tide, and it’s wonderful to be able to have a bath. I love baths, and soon I’ll have [...]

Camp

I thought I’d create a special permanant page for stuff associated with the Sacred Arts Camp 2007. So my random musings and photo sets devoted to it don’t get lost in the mists of time
I’m kind of worried about a friend of mine at the moment. It’s daft but I just have a [...]

Back again

I’m back! I can’t say ‘home’ because I’m feeling majorly confused about where my home is, especially after spending a week in a field that I didn’t particularly want to leave at all and could have stayed in forever. Heh. But yes, I’m back in London for a few days before taking more [...]

I’m sorry, my brain is full.

Whenever people try and talk to me I show them the list of things I have to do and buy, and they scuttle away wordlessly, leaving me in peace. Respect the list.
I leave for the camp tomorrow, so bye bye for now, people!

Cornwall: 117 London: 0

Today is so hot. The clouds are little scraps of white, very high up in the punishing blue dome of sky, and I find myself hankering for the cooler breezes of Cornwall.
I got back last night, not as unappetizing as before because I was prepared for how icky London would feel. It still felt really [...]

Listen closer

I like hearing songs through several walls and a closed door, it makes then different and exciting. Like hanging off the end of your bed and seeing the room all upside down, like an unexplored mirror country.
That wasn’t really the point of this post, though. Nope, I feel I ought to play catchup because I [...]

My Name

If you haven’t already heard of Lhasa De Sela and her 2nd album The Living Road, I’d advise you to go and have a listen. I borrowed it from the library last year, but it’s rather got neglected since. Yesterday evening on the train back from Cornwall, one of her songs came on as the [...]

Edinburgh, you lovely thing you…

Well I’m home now, after a really lovely trip to Edinburgh in Scotland. Relationship-wise, it could have been a little more confortable, but the city kept distracting me from that.

I seriously fell head over heels in love with the place, the kind of love that you know is real because it catches you by surprise, [...]
