This is home. This shoddy flat in Southsea/Eastney with the cold kitchen, divided from the lounge by the red framed windows and doors. The white grubby kitchen with the dirty hob and the crumbs on the floor. Ice monster living … Continue reading

Meanwhile, in 1997… Torn Between This and The Other
All around is apparent evidence that normality is actuality. People seem OK, mostly, muddling on, the shops open and close, the days go by. Unless you explore and delve and experience you may not know anything different, living in blissful(?) … Continue reading

Comic relief in reverse. It does show up how patronising comic relief can be; not that the causes aren’t worthwhile. And how ridiculous our behaviour is in affluent countries. … Really like these images of the supermoon. Here’s a few … Continue reading

After yesterday’s rain, a bright, sunny day. We took a walk in the local area, out towards Hinton Ampner, turning back at New Pond Cottages. The daffodils were bowing to the frost as we left. Gloves in a pot: Brockwood … Continue reading

Went to Petersfield, got on the bus to Selborne, walked to Petersfield. That’s my idea of fun. On the bus there was a little boy with his dad and granddad, going to Alton to ride the steam train. Are you … Continue reading

Reading ‘The Runaways’, a book I read either at school, or during that time, about a boy run away from reform school and a cheetah escaped from Longleat Wildlife Park. About freedom. Maybe we did read it at school because … Continue reading

Nothing much to report. Mostly just lounging about, researching TVs as I’d like a 32 or 37 inch, 100hz. Went down to Richer Sounds in Southampton and Best Buy at Hedge End. Enjoying the photos coming onto facebook from the … Continue reading

This morning, we went to Northington Grange just north of Alresford. It’s a fine 17th Century house with a monster of a neo-classical shell bolted on to make it look like a temple. It’s a tremendous building to be sat … Continue reading

March no less. Feeling so much better, the sick dizzy feeling a mile away and the tight head easing up. Yoga. Yoga. Yoga. It’s the bomb. For real. I recommend the Sivananda sequence. It’s a classical sequence of 12 major … Continue reading
