I have just spent too much cash downloading toons . . .
of late, music has become such a major thing after years of drawing nothing from it; but life, as it is now, demands this wafting of such a hypnotic breeze through the airwaves, almost constantly. it's crazy really; I had thought that my passion for things of the heart had all but expired but, it begins to be clear, clear that it had only been a hibernation brought about by lack of stimulation. now, there is so much sensuality on tap, there is hardly time or space to draw a breath; but the energy is stronger and more all-consuming than any drug; it adds solidity to the burgeoning construction of this citadel that is my life. it fills every corner of this place and gives me the sensation of being enveloped in a cocoon of warmth and belief in good things to come.




a thin layer of moisture tellingly covers my eyes. 'alone again or' has just started playing. "I could be in love with almost everyone, and I will be alone again tonight . . ." so many tears of joy in this place. seeing me, people might be under the impression I was having a nervous breakdown, but they could not be further from the truth.



yesterday I collected heather, bogey and muffin and, as you can see from the pics, bogey got on like a house on fire with teea and tasha. yesterday, on seeing my 'ex'-family for the first time in weeks, my heartstrings were severely tested and, I must confess, I am still in love with those sweet beasts. in good time all will settle down and, please the gods, I envisage a happy community will occupy this hallowed place.





there was a rainbow out on the track this morning; I was pleased to see where it met land, a hundred yards down from lix toll garage on the A85; it is not often one has the privilege of seeing where a rainbow ends. I take that lucky vision as a portent of good things. I wonder if any vehicle was blessed with this apparition and whether it had sustained any damage bumping into that pot of gold. of one thing I am certain; it will not be covered by any earthbound insurance policy.
