like the advert said..

-
from Virginia slim's advert.... 
but then thought better of it 'cos well it's ciggie advert 
and well it was just the phrase that came to mind... 
as I sit here looking back on how far I've come 
from this very moment three years ago

here's to the next three and the three after that.....


thank you to all my blog pals 
and to Charlotte, Lynn, Debbie, Mand and Rick, 
and to Moannie and J.P and 
to all the special lovelie's I cannot mention here..
but most of all to my son Patrick, 
who stayed with me... propped me up, every step,
and for who I stayed strong
and who now is making his own way.
As am I

    That's the way to do it. (Can't remember which comedian said this but I seem to remember it involving ventriloquy).

    You certainly have come a long way, and more love to you! You remain in my prayers (which, considering my track record on this earth, probably doesn't amount to much help for you, but it's the best I can do...)

    Well done You!

    Hope your ball of fluff isn't giving you as much hassle as ours is. She spends most of her time sitting on my hands on the keyboard.

    Is it just me or are the names of those who comment not visible?

    Love
    John

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...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

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...
