Five and a half weeks of fun
It is the school holidays, and to keep me from drinking gin at 10am I intend to keep a daily journal. It may just involve a bunch of photos of cocktails, or trips to the supermarket. Hopefully it will involve adventures in the sunshine. But we are in Britain so I suspect most things will involve wellies and a brolly. Only time will tell....

The Birds and the Bees
Little bird up in a tree
Looked down and sang a song to me
Of how it began
The trout in the shiny brook
Gave the worm another look
And told me not to worry
About my life
Tree in my own backyard
Stands all alone
Bears fruit for me
And it tastes so good
Where's my pretty bird
He must have flown away
If I keep singing
He'll come back someday
Dawn, bird's still gone
Guess I'll go mow the lawn
What a day, what a day
What a beautiful day this is
Looked down and sang a song to me
Of how it began
The trout in the shiny brook
Gave the worm another look
And told me not to worry
About my life
Tree in my own backyard
Stands all alone
Bears fruit for me
And it tastes so good
Where's my pretty bird
He must have flown away
If I keep singing
He'll come back someday
Dawn, bird's still gone
Guess I'll go mow the lawn
What a day, what a day
What a beautiful day this is

Fresh Air and Red Hair
Today I felt like l needed a new lease of life. And apart from running away with the circus (can one DO that nowadays?), having a sordid affair with a lonseome clown, and spending my days adorned in sequins whilst hurling myself across thin air on a daily basis, l could only think of one solution. It was red.
Refreshed, revitalised, and smelling strongly of hydrogen peroxide l decided l strolled alongside the river, startling the local wildlife with my flame coloured locks.
All in all, a bright day.

Gin and Tattoos - 27/07/11
Three women + several Gin & Tonics = laughter and screeching worthy of Macbeth's witches themselves. Add in a cauldron and a few bats heads and there would have been murder a plenty. The conversation quickly slipped into the gutter as we bonded over awful sexual experiences. Concurrently we perved on the young, alternative, tattooed and dreadlocked men in the vicinity. It was not subtle. I was, however, slightly embarrassed as we peeled ourselves off the sheets to drink tea and eat toast in the sunshine this morning. Nevertheless, the music was more than brilliant. Check these boys out:
