Bell X1-Eve The Apple of My Eye

This song comes to me,

In the middle of the day

In the middle of sentences

I hum it without remembering the lyrics

I sing it without knowing who its by

I forget it for months, and then it just infiltrates a day, any ordinary day, and Im not sure why.

If I should become a Stranger

Went to work with mum tonight, Jackie's in Ballindine...
She doesn't technically need my help, but I don't like the idea of her going on her own, and setting up, when I can just do it for her...and the drive there and back...and then singing to possibly no one...

But it was fine...I'd never gone with her there before, so it was nice to see...in a way.

Anyhow...she sang this...and it brought tears to my little peepers...
Mums voice is just so strong, and certain songs she sings...well I cant help but cry.

This isn't her...but until I record her singing it...it shall do

enjoy

<3

Rain

Its one of those kinds of days...but it makes a change from the ice and snow of the last few weeks...

The light is so surreal today...One minute its like night, the next your being blinded...

In a moment, it can go from looking fine, to... "Close all the windows and doors, baton down the hatches, and hide under the bed!!!"

I have a list of things to do today, the length of my arm...most importantly...going into town...but I'll wait it out a little while longer, until the coast looks a bit clearer the that....

The rain has eased now...I can just barely hear it
But the wind is picking up, and every so often a little fairy gale hits the window

Its the sound of summer, as I half remember/ half imagine it
The sound of hot, sticky, waves of air, rushing through the screens on the windows...bringing with them the humid, damp promise of thunder storms and torrential rain.

The sound of sleepless nights, tossing and turning when there was no air conditioning...
And when there was, tossing and turning, because the room was too cold then, and the mix of hot real air, and icey fake air made sleeping conditions unthinkable.

Its a sound of darkness...because you rarely hear that sort of groaning wind in the day time...covered by the sound of business as usual, and talk and cars and adds and radio, music drowns all other things out.

Its like the sound of the sea.
Such a lullaby to me
The repeat
The chorus
The washing away and repitition of that

A mark on the sand
There one moment
Gone the next.

There is a lull...after everything was said.

And as my eyes reach across the room to search the tiny reflections in another, mum leans towards me.

She whispers which way it is going to go

As only a true Libran can

She knew before any vote was cast, which way the scales were to tip

But I still hold breath and hope and wait and listen

*

The rain pounds down heavy on the uneven, streetlamp lit streets

Glistening and shining where black ice was only a few days ago

Its amazing the difference a few days can make

But I know that everything happens for a reason

*

That is the only thing I believe in anymore.

After yesterday's softness...I'm welcoming the sun.

It is glorious out, and everything seems to be insync..the donkeys were waiting up at the gate for their nuts this morning...I think it a mix of like...molasses dipped oats...it smells amazing whatever it is...

They are very good, I must admit...I opened the gate and they didn't budge...just waited quietly for their grub...fluffy heads :)

I am in desperate need of coffee...something nommy-licious...a shower...and laundry to be done.

Today will be a very practical day me thinks...I have to phone insurance companies and try to get insured on the boys car, so I can finally start driving...

Im not even going to fight it anymore...its inevitable, in this day and age...I sort of have to drive...there really isn't an alternative...

I took a peek at the pile of willow in the 'old garden' and it was glistening and glowing...its golden willow...so...definitely excited about that project...I hope it turns out the way I want it to...fingers crossed.

For you, to put a smile on that face :)

Eungi Kim .... possibly the most awesome thing I've ever seen

I went for a lovely long walk today...so needed to clear my head out...I tell you...the backlog of things in there...all sorted now tho...Im going to get out the giant white board tomorrow and make a plan for the comics...a rough one mind you...cant be setting too many things in stone so early.

Watched the two videos I made yesterday of nana and mum talking...I said (whispered) a few little things, not thinking the camera would pick it up...
PLEASE someone tell me that I DO NOT sound like THAT?????
o.O
What sort of accent is that anyway....and how is it that we don't hear ourselves when we talk?
Ghastly... :(

Anywho...I am going to sleep RIGHT NOW...
Ok, not literally...as soon as I get off this, put the cats out, put the makeshift lemon meringue pie I made today into the fridge, and throw some pj's on.
Ill prolie have to take some of the Christmas decorations down tomorrow :(

I think when I have my own house, Im going to have a tree (not necessarily a christmas tree) up all year round, so I can decorate it according to the seasons... that would be nice...

You want to know something else nice...???
This evening's sunset...phenomenal
