Dear readers, I can only apologise profusely for my absence. Nothing much to report (hence my absence, yeah?). I have been mostly scouring eBay looking for anything remotely Glastonbury worthy and obsessing over/spending far too much time with my current book (The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing – baffling in parts but on the whole [...]

you long-legged guitar pickin’ man
I’m not sure why I kid myself this is a blog. In actual fact it’s an ambling weather report with a few cups of coffee thrown in here and there and, you know, the odd fruit salad. With that admission made, I can see no other way to start than this: my balcony is the [...]
i was playing soft while bobby sang the blues
Now, I wouldnt want anyone to be under any sort of illusion, so let me make it abundantly clear: it is still very much scarf weather, my friends. Seriously, who are these loons in vests? Vests and sandals. Utter lunacy. I am yet to leave my scarf at home (read: I’m not a loon). The [...]
i use a cobra snake for necktie
Well, my holidays are coming to an abrupt and wholly uninvited end. I’ve had a lovely time, but don’t they go quick? In a flash, one might say.

last night i dreamed i was on the nile
Well, you’ll be pleased to know I’m feeling much better! Even if I woke up to more snow and the thickest fog I’ve ever seen (snow! and fog! pardon!?). Can’t stay long today, it’s up and out early for me. I’ll have to let the pictures do the talking again (yeah, I know, you prefer [...]
i’ll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force
I’m so far under the weather it’s untrue. Apparently, I’m still in need of that thousand-year-sleep I mentioned the other day. Not gonna happen though, is it? I’ll just have to make do with the mandatory carton of orange juice and a bumper box of tissues. Oh, and the Sunday paper to keep me company, [...]
we’ll walk in the sunshine, we’ll dance and we’ll sing…
…and dance to the tune that our happiness brings. U2 are headlining Glastonbury. You heard? Oh wait, yes, of course you have. Naturally I’m less than impressed, but ultimately I couldn’t care less. I’m pretty confident I could give off a good rant about this poor choice and join in the twitter trending and boooo [...]
They solemnly convene to make the scene
It’s been a busy, busy month. Excuse me while I resist my omnipresent desire to talk about the weather/seasons/general wind-factor…….okay, okay, I can’t! How mild is it? In my mind I want it to be winter wardrobe territory, but after a minutes outdoor walking the layers are quickly stripped off and by the time I [...]
