    In memory of Diva I shall be feeding the cats at least twice every day and giving them all a good brush.

    Not sure about any other flying, Diva's sad passing has made me think that maybe there is more to life than housework and that I spend too much time doing it. Just been having a long life chat with DS1 so will be spending some of this week pondering and writing lists of fun family things to do and places to go
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

  • I have physio tomorrow, so will try and potter around as much as possible before I go, rather than try and do everything afterwards, when I'll probably be feeling a bit fragile, especially as I'm back playing at the club tomorrow night.

    Saw DD1 properly for the first time since she disappeared. Just short of a year. Met her in the pub and she asked how you played pool. So I spent the afternoon teaching her. I think she enjoyed it, as she says she wants to do it again.

    Was a bit down this weekend as I have been all on my own. So went to the local music shops and eventually ordered a Bodhran. More for a way of understanding short beats and resting the back of my first two fingers than anything else - it can get quite painful if I play bass for too long.

    Then trundled off to ASDA to get a few cat related bits.


    Other than one of the cats being a complete $*£$("$ and disappearing over the back wall at 3am - at 4, I shut the back door and went to bed. AT 7.45am I opened the back door to find him sulking by the shed in the rain. Serves him right. He's always been an indoor cat and has no business going over the back when I only let him out for a wee.


    Not opening the door for him at night any more.


    Oh, heavens - the school shirts aren't dry!

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
