The Kiss

In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs

In their dreams their brains took each other hostage

In the morning they wore each other's face

Ted Hughes

Tired of listening to gossip, gossip and complaints ...

My one true love Richard Habberley is interviewed on the Love Blog today. His 1980's playlist is genius featuring the first band I ever ran away from home to see.

Strawberry Switchblade - Since Yesterday

Let us be lovers and marry our fortunes together

I am off to the land of the free tomorrow – my flight is delayed but I don’t suppose that means I could have a lie in and stroll up to check in at lunch time. I think that means by lunch time I will have slathered myself in Exxon Valdez quantities of La Prairie skin caviar from duty free.

‘Would you like any help madam?’

‘No Barbarella I would not! I am just dabbing on as much expensive stuff as I can because I am fucking trapped here and this is the only way I can make someone pay.’

Why not ask for more?

Tonight is a blue moon; the 2nd full moon of the calendar month, rare in that it occurs only once every 2.5 years. The blue moon is also called the goal moon as it is the most powerful time in the lunar calendar for the setting of goals. The fact that tonight's blue moon falls on New Years Eve and the last day of the decade makes it even more special.

Effectively the universe has sent us a blank cheque.

Happy New Year

It's NOT a wonderful life

A friend and I just defined christmas spirit as a 'feeling of lack around things you never even wanted in the first place'.

A prayer for the dark side

Tonight let your powers of new beginnings,
Wash away the follies of last cycle.
Seep away my weariness and sorrows.
Fill me to the brim with strength and hope,
Replace faded dreams with new,
And give me the endurance to carry on.
