Month: September 2008

Hi peeps, How’s life treating you? Well I hope! There’s a them to this blog: well, other than cross-dressing and all that goes with it. It’s not the journey of nervous n00bie to whatever I am today either. It is, of course, music…. or more precisely: lyrics. I don’t know what it is about the stuff, but even the bad stuff entertains (well, depending on your definition of bad I guess). Funny how what was naff can become pure disco cheese: sometimes capable of making the most seriously cynical museo cut some rug in a comedy turn. Yeah, like most of you don’t know the words and the actions to Reach for the Stars or YMCA 🙂 But -and as […]

Hello, dear reader(s), Funny when the writing bug strikes you. I suppose I could say ‘muse’ but that would imply some divine inspiration to my pondering wouldn’t it? Where was I? Oh yes.

I am a terrible at taking photos, I – unlike my Dad, my mate and my young son – do not have ‘the knack’. They – like a Republican on a hike in the woods – just point and shoot. The images they capture are spot on. People laughing, scenery framed and no blur: the moment caught and laid down in a digital tableau. I’m not jealous but I am slightly envious. Is there a […]

Howdy partners, I’ve had this post rattling around my head for a while. Don’t worry, it’s not exactly deep nor scary. So what’s the biggie? There’s been a shift in my lifestyle; not the giving up thing which seems to have done the rounds of late, but in some small way, the end of an era for me. I’ll get to the point in a mo. Sheesh, you’d think I was paid by the word wouldn’t you! 🙂 Anyhoo, for the last decade or so I’ve ridden my motorbike to/from work in pretty much all weathers. As H’s job has changed, we’re now a 2 car household: my biking days are over. Dare I say I was lucky for 10 […]
