Wembley

A short poem about our weekend trip to London to see Kasabian at Wembley Arena.
Flowing beer and flowing crowds,
plastic missiles, very loud,
Not expecting the scene on view,
loony crowds who had had a few.
The music great in its violent way,
Singing crowds and constant sway,
rivers of beer thrown into crowd,
we took a hit, well wet, not wowed.
The scene lively, jostle and [...]

Goals six months on.

Six months ago, I wrote a blog about what I hoped would be my goals for the next six months and whether I had achieved or stuck to them. I wanted to simply look back and recap on what they were and the results.

I grew some lettuce and planted some onions and carrots. The lettuce was [...]

Blog Action Day on Climate Change Oct 15th 2009

That  means how much each [...]

Why I Enjoy Walking

I enjoy walking and decided on my evening walk tonight to express a few thoughts as to why I enjoy this form of exercise. You know how you just do a thing sometimes, thinking you know why you enjoy it, but have never sat down to fully explain why to yourself, let alone to anybody else.
That’s what I [...]

An Evening with a Speaker

Yesterday evening was very exciting. I nearly didn’t go. It had been a surprising up-hill week in someways. It shouldn’t have been. I had only been working since Wednesday. But that was the problem. Having enjoyed a lovely long weekend, I just could not get back into work.
Anyway, I decided to go with Mr E  to [...]

A Lovely Birthday

At first we were hoping to go away for the weekend but for various reasons that was not on the cards. Then Mr E saw an advertisement for a sustainable living exhibition at the Forum in Norwich and he wanted to go there instead for his birthday day out.
This blog is just to say how simple [...]

Today

Funerals can sometimes have a weird and unexpected effect upon me. Even though I knew little of the person whose funeral I attended today, it evoked a moist eye and reflective response. It brought back times of another funeral I attended about three years ago. This generated a huge grief response from me. Again, while I [...]

For Tomorrow.

I thoroughtly enjoyed creating the pictured floral wreath for a funeral tomorrow. It felt pleasing to have not lost my touch since my floristy training over 10 yrs ago. There is not much time to do this kind of work very often.
I thought back to my days as a florist student in the shop as [...]
