school dinners

It doesn't seem to want to stop raining.
My free, gym membership umbrella, is so big, i have to twist it a certain way just to get it into my car.
Its been a hectic couple of weeks, as anticipated, and lessons came at me one after the other.
So in no particular order;

* It took a friend from another country to reawaken my excitement about this city, after-dark. It dawned on me that i live in one of the most exciting, culturally-diverse, vibrant cities in the world. There is beauty everywhere i look.
* Sleep really isn't the most important thing. So i didn't get my required 9 hours. For a whole WEEK. I may be beat, but i have some tales to tell...The more i go out, the more i want to go out.
* The way i feel is the way i feel, and rational thought doesn't always come into it at the time, but it sits, waiting for me to gather myself, to get a grip on my emotions and then becomes. Clarity.
* My vivid imagination is still my blessing and my cross; I still paint the picture before the first brushstroke touches the canvas, and i still pay the price for that.

For my Sherry

Wow, i just checked the date of my last post, time just flew.
I'm very much settled into my new London life, any need to flee back to the bosom of my parents has all but gone. Still, i miss them so much at times, and one of my favourite things to do now, is to go back and visit. Who'd have thunk it, eh?
Its been raining on and off for days now. All my cute new summer dresses, bought in the few days of blazing sunshine we had a month back, now hang in anticipation, in my closet. I said i would wear jeans all winter, and i bloody did, but now i'm ready for floaty, for hippy dippy, for slip on shoes and dresses, big sunglasses and gypsy hair and bangles.
I have the prettiest bathroom wall now. I was at the library, about to borrow this amazing fashion book, when, after scanning it, the librarian said i couldnt take it out because it had been withdrawn. What i could do, was buy it for 50p! (a dollar, y'all). So now i have a wall full of beauty.
I love my life...
