I have slept in four different beds this last week.
Joan has had three colds and cold sores since her Mother died. It has been really tough for her.
I am at the Mac Store again tomorrow as my most major work tool, my Mac book pro laptop, has this reoccurring problem with mail.
I did a podcast today with some great humans - details later when it goes live.
I like the one line status on facebook, but little else.
I am listening to The Yancey Boys, Q Tip, 2000 Black, Late Junction and always Gilles Peterson and BenjiB.
The Level Five w/e was majestic.
I am odd.
This is a bitty sort of catchup methinx.

I was contacted today by a young couple who I used to work with. Some 28 years ago. Pete and Bobbie Oliver, now living in Australia and have just returned to the UK for a few weeks. Both were volunteers with me years ago. They - Fell in love. I gave Bobbie away at their wedding. Never seen them for that long. WOW.

We plan to see them in the new year. So many stories come to mind. ..........
I remember that they were brave enough to come on a mini-bus camping trip/holiday to the South of France and the Italian Riviera. We had a gang of east end kids and it was lively - extreme. There we were, camping just besides the Mediterranean Sea - with all the culture, Italian mainly, and the culture and behaviours having travelled with us on the bus.


I can see the pressure coming off me in the weeks as we run up to Christmas. I have my regular work but the freelance stuff slows up at the end and beginning of terms. That means I am still busy but doing the things that don't pump-up my soul. Invoicing, admin, sorting out the drop zone (all my files littering my office floor from recent gigs) and of course the TAX MAN. At the end of the year, I need to get my act together and do my returns zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

So I will be a different animal in the next weeks.
I wonder the impact on you during the coming days?
Positive. Not so?
How you manage the toughest and delight in the beautiful?
I need to think - prepare - sort my life out - enjoy ..........

You
are beautiful
