clickity clack

Well yesterday, much like today I am off up to London. I find it quite interesting on the train, watching all the drones doing their daily grind. Barely having the strength to even give you a passing glance. But I do like the fact I can be anyone on the train. Blend in. haha .. When I was younger and flew alot I would relish in concocting elaborate stories of a fictitious life to tell my seat mate. I would watch them with their eyes wide and all believing or were they? They most likely thought I was some young punk, bored. And this I would have to say was true. What else was I going to do on these long flights. I had seen the films already.. haha

Anyway, back to the train. So yesterday the train coming back was severely delayed to a fatality. I know enough that it meant someone had died. And all I could hear around me was people moaning about missing connecting flights and deadlines and blah blah blah. Not one mentioned anything about the poor sod who's life had been taken. This it seems, is the society we are living in.. Everyone out for themselves, no support for each other. . I have known this for quite sometime but seem to block it out. But every once in a while I find another individual that actually does care and is supportive and that warms me. What happened to the free spirits of this world? Are they all hiding? Is it only alive in our children?

So today when I take this train journey I am going to look people in the eye and say hello to them. Bearing in mind when I usually do this it does not always work out so well. I have been looked at like I have three heads or I am going to mug them. But I shall rise above it and spread a little sunshine on that train, whether they want me to or not!

Expectations

Well it seems Valentines day has come and gone. Years ago when I was little, there used to be this process of filling in valentines cards in the shapes of little hearts, anonymously, and putting them in little boxes on your school desk. Well in the box of the person you fancied.. I seemed to have retained this image and when I asked someone to bring me back a packet of valentines for the kids, I was surprised to see sponge bob ones. Now I like sponge bob, but it shows how all the commercialism is just gone mental.. What happened to the plain heart ones? Oh well

Anyway this week saw a turn of events that seem natural yet disturbing all the same. I found out two family friends had passed away.. I wasn't particularly close to them but you see these things tend to stir up old wounds and question life and its purpose. I also have noticed I still have abandonment issues! It seems so many friends and family are or have moved away. And for Christs sake I am a grown adult with my own family so why should I let such a thing bother me ? I guess it takes me back to being young again, that awful feeling.

Back to the death thing, well I have decided I am not going to anymore funerals. I just cant. So if any of you are reading this and expect my attendance to your knees up funeral, you can lick it! I just don't see the point.
Instead I shall have my own farewell to you in my head.

Also I seem to find some of my friends very contradictive. I cant really say much except it always seems I am putting my self out and it is never reciprocated. I tend to be too generous and am ealisy marred. I want to team up, others are out for themselves. One particular friend has crushed me a few times, but I know they are completely unaware of it. Or are they?


I am going to sweep this week under the carpet. I need to feel positive about the future. Spring is coming and with it, new hope and beginnings. I have heaps to get on with, that I have been procrastinating about.

And if anyone has seen my MOJO lying about can they redirect it back this way. That would be muchly appreciated.

Today I think I am going to don my tiara and get the wee ones dressed up as well. Time for some make believe.

sun and snow

Well what a surprise to awoken with a winter wonder land outdoors. The whole of the Uk brought to their knees. The schools closed, busses and trains stopped and cars in ditches where fools try and go out in it with their seasonal tyres. We all went for a lovely walk and took loads of pics! I will post dome here as well.. There was cocoa to be had and roaring fires that were appreciated. I did however realise we have a bit of a glove shortage but Lennon did not seem to mind wearing odd socks in replacement.!! haha.. I was able to test out my ski gear for real as well. Retreived the old sledge and hit the snowy trail. I had forgotten how tiring it can be walking in snow. It was purely magical indeed.. Today however, all the roads are clear, school is back on and you can see the old mound of snow where once stood a snowman. The first time in 18 years they say, down here. There is evern a little talked we might be blessed once again.. hmmmmmmmmmm would be lovely.
