Stolen from Boo and modified slightly - A year in review....

January

Whirlwind Romance

I am in love with Matt the Turtle in a way I didn't think possible. The whole thing is completely insane - cliches are relevant, nesting instincts are strong and perhaps, most shockingly, Westlife ballads make me well up and I like it. This is undoubtedly true love.

February

Show open

Right motherfuckers. I’m now back online after a strange museum dwelling existence in the world of high-end objects and sore feet.

My show has closed and I am very tired but pleased.

March

Whiskey

Hmmmm…

A big head cold again. Fair knocked me off my feet on Saturday so I had to spend the entirety of it in Turtle’s bed. Not such a bad thing. Incapacitation was nothing to do with the whisky consumed with relish on Friday. No.

April

Whiskey

Went to Bedrock on Friday by accident.

That filthy dingy hole below Oxford Street’s dingy filthy pavements.

May

Vodka

Random thoughts from the weekend:

I am too old to inhale microwaved vodka on a Saturday night as a leisure activity.

Porn is excellent.

June

Wedding bells

So my baby brother (now quite large and shouty admittedly) got married last weekend and it was one of the proudest moments of my life. It was joyous and tearful with an appropriately wonderful ceremony and a raucous reception.

July

World cup fever...

First weekend in London for about five months. So much to do and so many people to catch up with....

Spent it at home in the rat’s nest, vomiting violently and shivering with fever, due to a sickness bug picked up from Lucy’s kids.

August

Crafting and costuming

Mmmmmm.....The developing European Craft Scene. I never thought I'd say it but it's really very sexy...

September

Love and loss and more wedding bells

The desert challenged all my preconceptions once again.

This time it was preconceptions from the virgin Burn that were smashed. Some of my expectations of joy, community, sharing & love were broken down as the week went on.

October

Marital bliss

“sweetheart i've brought you a coffee"

"hate it"

"ill just leave it here"

"wah, i'm not getting up!!"

"darling..?"

"stupid...stupid furby!”

November

More marital bliss

Staring up the arse end of the week.

Fabulous stuff. Hello weekend.

December

kitten love and decom fun

So, this weekend, amongst other things I threw sardines out of the bathroom window for the neighbours' kitten, whom they had cruelly locked out in their yard. It was crying excessively, the poor little thing. If they do it again I shall steal it for my own and keep it in my room.


In short, it was a year of growth and learning, where magical things occured and hard lessons were learnt. May 2007 be a continuation of the former. Amen.
