and we gave it time, all eyes are on the clock
I am still here, you know. Life just seems to be getting in the way. Plus, I still haven’t got my Berlin films developed. And that’s what we’re all waiting for, really.
some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
We got back from Berlin last night. It took us a couple of days to get our heads round the place, but once we did there was obviously no going back. It’s hard to think of all that life still going on over there, in all our favourite places, while we’re back here. I can’t [...]
i already know the roads that you will take me down tomorrow
We’re going to Berlin in the morning, but I shan’t baffle on about that until I came back. You’ll be bombarded with photos upon our return. But more important than our jollies is the gig we’ll be going to next weekend. Olde Time Religion, hosted by The Springtime Anchorage, who I’ve mentioned before here, are [...]
the house is always empty ’cause they’re all doin’ time
Much needed day off today. Went out for breakfast and then had a nosy round the shops. Obviously, it had to be the first day of half-term, or so I quickly realised. I therefore didn’t have the shops to myself like I’m used to which is clearly not on. I was, however, amused by the [...]

The name rang a bell, [...]

oh if you find the time please come and stay awhile in my beautiful neighbourhood
Thought I’d better squeeze in a post before it’s bloody February. Anyone else completely failed on the resolution front? I’ve been anything but an active blogger (and anything but a detoxer/money-saver). Fresh start in February, yeah? I’ve probably been too busy self-indulgently eating nachos reading books; Hunter S Thompson’s The Rum Diary (amazing – I [...]
i was feeling better now, warm and sleepy and absolutely free.
…With the palms zipping past and the big sun burning down on the road ahead, I had a flash of something I hadn’t felt since my first months in Europe – a mixture of ignorance and a loose, ‘what the hell’ kind of confidence that comes on a man when the wind picks up and [...]
