It’s celebrate Douglas Adams day today. I’ve been meaning to post this hilarious story for a while. A true story, about Douglas and a packet of biscuits. Today seems like the perfect day to post it 😃 Love you Douglas. Thanks for all the fish. The Biscuit Saga
Day 15. Ended up incorporating a saucepan into my routine tonight. Quite heavy. I enjoyed the handle grip. Nice texture and girth. It became an extra weight useful for toning my arm muscles. Saucepan toning - coming to a gym near you! Heart rate was up many times tonight. Yes!
I’ve found that being in a state of flux is a healthy conduit in making my life better. Here’s an example. Up until last year, I was settled. In my house. In my job. I went to the same shops each week for the same food. Drove the same route to get to the same places. Settled, yes.
Too settled? Definitely.
I’d lost my mojo. Things trundled along just the same. I was ‘comfortable’ and as many a wise person would say, being too comfortable is a dangerous place to be. I’d lost my edge.
For whatever reason, since my teenage years, my mum has gained a habit. I tell her something amazing happening in my life, maybe sing her a song I’ve written, tell her about a holiday I’m going, or that I’m appearing on Micromonday podcast (😊) and she finds it’s impossible to react at all (other than negatively) to what I’ve said. After singing a song she’d tell me how my voice could be better, if I said I was going on holiday she’d talk about where she’d been and when I told her that I was appearing on the micromonday podcast she just ignored me completely and said she needed to talk to me about her problems. This happens in person or by text.
It just so happens that next week we’re staying fairly close to London. It just so happens that Phantom of the Opera is in its 33rd year. It just so happens that I’ve bought tickets to see the show and I’m the happiest girl with the biggest smile on this bright, sunny day 😌🙃
Day 14. It’s amazing how little I sweat now dancing, compared with a few months ago. My body has stamina. I’ve earnt it, putting in the hours, making my heart beat fast. I have an abled (rather than a disabled) body. What a glorious concept. What a moment to celebrate in my life.
Is there something you use in the house which has revolutionised the way you do something? For me it’s the Oxo Crumb brush. I never knew how much I would enjoy using a crumb brush until I had one. It’s a much better experience than a hand or a cloth. It’s a kind of dinky pleasure. 😃
Loving the shape of catto’s nose and mouth. Full of curves and lines making the perfect little snout with which to snore out of.
I had a Nokia phone with buttons. The only delete key broke. My texts could get imaginative - I’d try to use every letter I typed. Sometimes this wouldn’t be possible (when I’d accidentally press the x or z key so there’d be a load of random letters at the end of the text.
I wrote and recorded this song. It conjures up feelings of a magical maternal presence for me. I imagined a tree with a lady sitting beneath it. There were jewels on its flowers, lit up, sparkling in the sun. Then this song came. Maybe out of the ether 😊🎶 Of light, Of Gold
Hands up who’s ever drunk fresh rain water out of a delciously scented rose? If you ever get the chance, have a go. It’s so aromatic and sweet and rosey! Like the best rose water you’ll ever taste. Just check for bugs before you start slurping 😃🕷🐞🐝
I’m more positive than negative. I like to see the best in situations, see the beauty. I really didn’t believe though, that I’d get to see this body of mine rise up out of oblivion (unhealthly choices) and begin to blossom. Now I’m a healthy bud. Soon I’ll be a shining flower.
Day 13. For any of you who don’t know - I’m on a 30 day belly dance challenge (a fairly relaxed one) which means I try to dance for at least an hour each day, usually to drum and base and I document my progress. I’ve come a long way from near disabled to dancing queen and I’m stronger than ever before. This is what happened tonight…
I felt like I entered another dimension of feeling in my body. I felt like my twisted foot lay flat on the floor with ease. I felt even and balanced and in alignment in all parts of me. I walked with poise and grace around the kitchen amazed at my elegance, amazed at the understanding now unfolding in my mind.
I think you’re dreaming about little mice friends Squiggy, with a smile like that.
When I was young, I had a few experiences of being accidently exposed to sex. Once my friends and I were cycling past a fence with big gaps and I saw a bottom. Two bottoms actually. One on top of the other. A man and a lady seemed to be lying in the back garden naked. I saw his willy too. It was all rather fascinating and we spent some time acting as voyeurs to the scene at large. We even tried to get into the garden next door (for a different view) but the boy who lived there got suspicious and wouldn’t let us in. A few weeks later, I noticed the gaps in the fence weren’t so apparent (bummer). The couple had a baby boy that year. ‘I saw him being made’ I would say (not to them!).
Day 12. I can’t get over how light-footed I am. I’m flippin agile dude. No-one saw this coming 😃 But it’s here. Wooo! New strength detected in core. Well hello new strength - it’s fantastic to meet you! Welcome aboard this sparkling ship of determination and pazzaz. Let’s dance.
Oh my. Just agreed to look after this little birman monkey and his two other siblings. In October. Some months away but well worth the wait. Already excited. Those eyes. Apparently they prefer cuddles and brushes to food. Yippeeee😻😻😻
Forget-me-nots
Still snuggled.
Dear sweet Charlie. Fell fast asleep playing with Dave. Charlie likes licking catnip out of Dave ears. He must be having some far out dreams about now. What a lovely pink nose he has.
