    I agree, it goes really fast. I don't find time to post enough, but when I do read others and get round to writing something myself I'm so happy I'm hearing all these varied voices and getting to know so many different people.

    102? That means your centenary post went uncelebrated...we should have had a party!

    Thanks to my recent obsession with embroidering, I have frequently drifted away from keeping up day-to-day with blog readings and posting. The upshot was that by last night, I had over 300 posts waiting in the wings to be read and really was wondering how I was ever going to get around to all of them and get caught up while still working on my tablecloth project. The answer ended up being that I really did have to back off a good bit today on the embroidery stuff and now, I'm whittling away at those blogs, getting the numbers down, slowly but at least they are declining. But I hate to be away from the blogging stuff because of the very same reasons you cited about it, especially the meeting of new friends, sharing heart-felt stories and such.
    Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and yours from "over here" across that big wide pond.
    Peace.

    I know what you mean, I thought a hundred posts was unachievable, now I'm nearly at 200! I didn't know I had so much rubbish to impart!

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
