Have concluded that I must tweet less if I am to blog more. So many of my ideas are frittered away in throwaway tweets when they could be better spent on here. I mean, you’d love to hear more about my hangovers and the like, wouldn’t you? And my penchant for chips, my weather reports, [...]

and on it i will pile all the flowers of the mountain
I had a spam comment yesterday which enthusiastically stated: “this blog is extremely cool! how can i make one like this!” Yes, double exclamation. I wasn’t fooled for a second. So, how does one make a blog like this? These days, I’m not quite sure. Metaphorically speaking, I’m uninspired. Physically speaking, I’m having a ‘mare. [...]

and i’ll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it…
…and reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it, then i’ll stand on the ocean until i start sinkin’, but i’ll know my song well before i start singin’, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard rain’s a’gonna fall.

so while you sit and whistle, ‘dixie’, with your money and your power…
…i can hear the flowers a’growin’ in the rubble of the towers. Weekend off. Pastel yellow nails. Cava. A casual play-off final. A birthday brother. A Booze Britannia. Must get some sleep. Oh and this is top 30 material – just to settle my excitement. Get a load of it.

if you gave me a fresh carnation, i would only crush its tender petals
I seem to have lost my blog voice a bit this week. Nothing new, I suppose. Not much to report, anyway. I’ve been working, eating things I shouldn’t, trying not to bleed money everytime I leave the house, delivering unwanteds to charity shops – all whilst being smack bang in the middle of a 933-page-novel [...]

here she comes again, with vodka in her veins
I doubt I need to explain why I love these so much. They’re perfect. A cacophony of pattern.

if life seems jolly rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten…
…and that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing. I discovered a blog yesterday. Longest acres. It’s set on a farm in North Carolina. Already sounds like something from a film, doesn’t it? Anyway, it absorbed my attention so quickly and so fully that I eventually found myself right back at the start, at [...]

we’ll still be best friends when all turns to dust
It can seem, at times, as if the task of putting together a fashion magazine might appear a little like Nero’s proverbial fiddling while Rome burns… Fashion is one of the great pleasures in life and it is clear that, no matter how difficult the times, the urge, for many of us, to make the [...]

and i made an excuse, and you found another way to tell the truth
I don’t know about you lot, but I’m actually relieved to be getting back to the grind. I feel massively over-indulged too, so it’s all about broccoli and carrots today (although I’m sure that won’t last long). But firstly, a massive coffee to de-puff these eyes of mine. Hope you all had wonderful weekends. Now, [...]

oh my love, my love, this can really be
Well, I feel like the weekend is already over, when really, I’m only halfway through – what a treat. Did you all enjoy The Wedding? WE DID. We celebrated with bunting, patriotism, a cardboard Kate and Wills (which proved handy for waving at passers-by later in the day), Pimms, fizz, bangers’n’mash, fish’n’chips, cupcakes’n’cookies, dancing to [...]
