What have I been doing....?

well I have been

taking macro photos

 and 

and

and much sitting street side, 

much contemplating and pondering

 and working here...

 eating my lunch here

tea drinking ahhhh!!

  thinking about cycling

not doing though, weather has been crap

and l am a fair weather cyclist!

some mixing it...

with Lucy

and I stayed far too long in here...

and l began to sell some of my handbag collection

and more people watching....

and

 I fell in love 

with this kitty, but I was told I couldn't bring her home... 

not a cat lover, but I really fell head over heels this time

and I watched the sunset beyond the Castle at 10.15pm

so a bit of this and that .....

it's time for an

... I just need to pick up some popcorn and stretch my legs for a while!

almost

but not quite...
                     is it enough?

like coming in second place
and you never quite got to where
             you were heading,
where you needed to be

go on, reach out.....
   reach out,       s  t   r  e   t   c   h    out
           further,  more.....
 reach farther than you have ever reached out
                                    before,

            and yet still,
it is an inch away,
                        right before your very eyes

an inch may as well be
               an ocean,
                           a chasm

utterly unreachable
                  unattainable
                               untouchable
                                                unreal

and you can see it
           smell it
                breathe it in
look it in the eye
      peer into its light
and dark
                     feel its warmth
                              its heat

looking right back at you

and yet,
     however much you reach,
                 however much you yearn,
it will never fill you,
           nor complete you,
it can never be yours


and when want,
 becomes
                need

then
most often
            you are fucked


and so...

       is almost

                better than nothing

         should almost
                     be
                           enough?

Saz n Lucy ready to rock n whatever....

Check out our BIG WEEKEND pics!!

I know this for sure...

Time heals (kinda)

Tomorrow never comes, so stop waiting for it, do that thing NOW

Loving our children is the most important thing we can do for them,
being there always is the second
being a parent not a friend is the third

Never give advice unless it is asked for (oopps l think l just did)

A house is not necessarily a home

Cherish your friendships

You have to love, soothe and care for yourself before you can properly do the same for anyone else

Love is more important than things, a house, a car, if you find it, live it, breathe it....
but if it suffocates you, it isn't real, you will get lost, time to bail....

Life is to short too iron, fold carefully

When all is dark inside and out remember two words,' HOLD ON''...works for me every time

Never settle for less, in fact never settle

Trust your inner voice

a few words from

Emily Dickinson (1830–86).  Complete Poems.  1924.

Part One: Life XXXII

HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;	5
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I ’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;	10
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
