Highs and lows

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Lunchtime I headed out for a sandwich. It was freezing cold but I needed a banana for reasons I won’t go into, so I donned my warm coat and wrapped myself in my scarf.
Walking down the street of the city centre I noticed that the sky seemed bluer than usual, the sun felt warmer on my [...]

First glimpse

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Thank you for coming to the station. I love that moment when I see you first.
It’s nice.

Excuses

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

I’ve been busy.
But now, on a Sunday morning all is quiet, everyone is happy and I have almost two days before chaos resumes in the guise of 800 toddlers. That’s almost two whole days to work out how I’ll entertain them all for a day.
There’s enough time for a cup of tea and a cwtch before I set [...]

Stolen moments

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Any moment now, the man with the van might come and steal all my cables away.
Soon after I move myself to the other side of the country.
I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to post.
It may be a little while.
In the meantime - May the badgers be with you.

On addressing parcels

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

This afternoon I took a thick pen and wrote your name and address on the front of a padded envelope. I enjoyed it. Not just because I was sending you a parcel, but there is something about the swoop of the letters and the words that pleases me. Knowing that this parcel will soon be in [...]

Cancelled

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Our hotel reservation has been cancelled.
No National Fireworks Championships for us this year.
You’d best take me to Whitby, then.
Can we get some sparklers and sit on the beach?

Sunrise

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

One day, you’ll share a summer solstice sunrise as beautiful as this with me:

Just not this year, huh.

Wishing you were here

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Let’s face it, most of the time 400 miles sucks. Just not usually as bad as it does today.
I need to sit with you and talk things through. I need to look into your eyes and understand that it will be alright and that sometimes decisions aren’t meant to be easy. I need your presence [...]

On a good choice

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Whenever I log into Flossie’s Tales, the password makes me smile.
Every single time.
Thank you.
