i did it!

ran the Great Scottish Run yesterday (otherwise known as the Glasgow half-marathon). Official time of 2:19:15. No idea how I did it. Feel like hell today. Puked yesterday. Bella Napoli pizza and a glass of Prosecco sorted me out.

perfection

How can you pine anymore?

It is beautiful

and for all

unavoidable

so these are his bones

and his grinning skull

so now he is home

to the bluebottles

he who was your bull

and made the shadows run

and I understand

In all things he was quite the man

but now perched on his skull

he now wears cuckold's horns

and they're growing full

pushing through the soil

pools gathering round my knees

temptation leers at me from every door

so these are his bones

why won't you leave them alone?

worms crowding her feet

trying to pull me back to their holes

tap-tapping in the room below

nothing more than dead piles of bones

saying:

'I'll eat this young whelp's heart I will'

'I'll eat this young whelp's heart I will'

'I'll eat this young whelp's heart'

HEAVE-HO

HEAVE-HO

with fists for spades we raid his grave

with big black boots we stomp the roots

with fists for spades we raid his grave

with big black boots we stomp the roots

and HEAVE-HO

HEAVE-HO

HEAVE-HO

HEAVE-HO

HEAVE-HO

heave-ho

This is Draper. He is twelve weeks old. He was our guest whilst we held a birthday bbq for Bjorg. We all fell in love. And yes, he is named after Don.

six years

everyone is currently having kittens over the return of tom vek. what has startled me is that it has been six years since 'nothing but green lights.' nostalgia has now clouded my thoughts and i will now spend the rest of this evening revisiting youtube clips from the bands of yore - or should that be days of Frog? remember Frog?

benefits of the job

both a positive and a negative part of the job is meeting amazing people, but these friends often live in different cities or even further afield in different continents, hence the negative side.
