Taken by me. February 2010: Place du Tertre, Montmartre, Paris. A small square surrounded by quaint restaurants and shops. Artists walk the streets offering portraits to the tourists. Very Bohemian! I sometimes wish my “trade” didn’t involve sitting at my desk all day, and that I could sit in these surroundings painting the world as it goes by. Maybe I’ll learn a new trade!

March 2010 Ok, so this is “deep”, but at the moment, I feel like my mac is a portal to another world, a world that I once loved, thrived in and enjoyed. But not so much at the moment. Now, Looking back through my photography, seeing images I took 4 months ago makes me realise that the decisions I made just after were the right things. Kinda scarey.

Ok, so this is “deep”, but at the moment, I feel like my mac is a portal to another world, a world that I once loved, thrived in and enjoyed.

But not so much at the moment.

Now, Looking back through my photography, seeing images I took 4 months ago makes me realise that the decisions I made just after were the right things. Kinda scarey.

The vet said my cat was “Lanky” when he went to see her last week. I have no idea what she means! :p

You can hold her hand
And show her how you cry
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands
And then roll over and die

You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking everyone else’s permission
Then run away and hide

You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs and go looking for
Tell her you’re searching for her soul
You can wait for ages
Watch your compost turn to coal;

Time is contagious
Everybody’s getting old

Damien Rice - Coconut Skins

What awesome, awesome lyrics.

Well, this is something new
But it turns out it was borrowed too
Why does every letdown have to be so thin?
The rain explodes at the moment that the cab door closed
I feel the weight upon your kiss ambiguous.

You have to leave, I appreciate that,
But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp.

Books from Boxes - Maximo Park

As with all Maxmio Park songs, the lyrics are so meaningful. And this is no exception, truly awesome, heartfelt lyrics.

Thanks for coming by
It’s such a dreadful night
A net curtain flashes
Outside the rain it lashes
Frozen stardust falls
Wide eyes can see it all
Maximo Park - Questing, Not Coasting

My Cat

Is sitting on the 3rd shelf of the book case, next to my bed. Looking very mischievous. I think he’s pending an attack….for as soon as I close my eyes!

Talybont, November 2009. I miss these waterfalls, unfortunately Norfolk is just too flat to have this kind of flowing water. Which is a shame, as the photographic opportunities are endless!
