A Valentine

-
To all my blogtastic pals on Valentines day
that is to say anyone who ventures here
please take this heart from me, with love X

To cement a new friendship,
 especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, 
a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, 
and cut across the accidents of place and time.

from The Ape in Me, 1959 -  Cornelia Otis Skinner

    Hi, as I was waiting for your blog to load, I was thinking, I should post a big heart on my blog tomorrow to say how much I appreciate the people who have visited my blog since I started in a month ago...the people in Canada and the UK...and then your blog opens, and there's this message. Thanks Saz for the support to a stranger across the ocean. What a cool way to connect and know we have more in common than not.

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.

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...
