the phoenix: May 2015

http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, 22 May 2015. Also, I went to meet other people bereaved by suicide on Wednesday, a small warm group, a space to talk offered as part of a festival of death and dying in our neighbouring town, called Pushing Up Daisies. A marvellous encounter, and the meeting of a need I didn't even know I had. I hope we may meet again. This weekend my brother and my sister will be here. First time we'll all have been together since my Mum's funeral. Sunday, 17 May 2015. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

the phoenix: December 2014

http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 30 December 2014. All I Have To Do Is Dream. A ukelele has arrived in our home! The inspired Christmas gift from L to both of us. It is red and oh so small! The main problem is my hands are quite big and the frets of a ukelele are small. Watch this space to see if I decide I really must get a guitar again after all these years. Tuesday, 23 December 2014. Easily the best part of Christmas. Okay, loaves are in, soup needs blending. Late lunch today, I think! Sunday, 14 December 2014. Exploring las...

the phoenix: January 2015

Wednesday, 21 January 2015. About six inches today. It fell and it fell and it fell. We didn't go anywhere. Watched from the window as our car and garden disappeared under soft white curves. And snot, which has hijacked my life for a week now. I will spare you the details. Tissues have been a major part of my life. I can't think or feel properly. Yesterday I thought I was really beginning to recover, but the grade of snot has thickened today (sorry I was sparing you the details wasn't I? Future of my past.

the phoenix: March 2015

Sunday, 29 March 2015. Always have fresh flowers in the house. Make kefir - drink kefir. Do some exercises every morning - even for three minutes. Meditate (nearly) every morning - no judgement about the leaping monkey that is my mind. Five minutes in - '. Did you say we were supposed to be doing? Keep remembering to be kind kind kind. Walk every day. Take in something from the walking - the lapwings, the curlews, the light. Sing to yourself, to G and to Mum. This is not forever. Cool Spots And Hot Spots.

the phoenix: Knock Knock

http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2015/06/knock-knock.html

Thursday, 4 June 2015. A work opportunity appears to be knocking. The chance to start gently with a day or so a week, and see how it goes. Working with children again. Amazed. Grateful. Blessed. The day the weather changed. Sounds good, all the best with it! 6 June 2015 at 18:22. So good to see this. The barometer is really rising. 6 June 2015 at 18:24. So pleased for you. 7 June 2015 at 20:45. Hooray for hopeful news! 8 June 2015 at 22:14. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cool Spots And Hot Spots.

The trouser Press: May 2012

http://thetrouserpress.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

View my complete profile. Thursday, 3 May 2012. Today is one of those rare days in which I do something which makes me feel like a proper grown-up. I went to the local polling booth and voted in the local elections. I'm well aware of the difference between local elections and the general election, yet it's hard not to want to vote according to my view of the political situation nationally. So I looked at the ballot paper. Don't make me laugh. So, for the first time in my life, I spoiled the ballot paper&...

muse frequency: Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

http://musefrequency.blogspot.com/2007/04/purrrrrrrrrrrrrr.html

Mind's brittle highways i.e. more or less inspired electric traffic. Our family got a new member. Chiquita the Jack Russell's brother Batman the Cat was yesterday welcomed to The Blue House. I've never had a cat. I've only studied felines for physical theatre - you've got to appreciate their slinking - and I've always kept my distance. I've never really been friendly with one. Yesterday was, thus, spent on the floor trying to say a careful hello. I see I now have a cat photo and anecdote rival ;). For a ...

muse frequency: April 2007

Mind's brittle highways i.e. more or less inspired electric traffic. For a few seconds back to Hong Kong 香港. It's funny how photos of childhood haunts can miraculously transport you back to a memory and a place you've unconsciously carried with you all those years. A couple of days ago, I had a look at some family photo albums. They were filled with the green and orange of Hong. There's something about Hong. Kong that fits my personality. The climate's one thing. The contrast between man-made. Just becau...
