Winter is gone..

Every year I mourn the passing of winter...

The black/grey skies, driving wind and rain, the cold. I guess I just wanted to say it out loud,that I miss my best friend Winter..

I also miss people and events of course, but right now..its winter.

This post was prompted by the fact I purchased a beautiful winter coat this year and it will be with me into my later years..a purchase where you know you have spent your money well and wisely..I don't often have that satisfaction any more, knowing I have spent my money well...

I will now love winter even more when it rolls around again.

What do you miss right now..?

When I grow up I want to be a crazy cat lady

I have the beginnings of my cat clan..she is sitting on the back of my sofa..grooming her leg as if it were covered in chocolate..mmm.

I have been contemplating my future of late, way into my future to the time when the highlight of my day will be making a pot of tea, reading the paper and shuffling around my vegetable patch..to when my kids are grown and have borne grand children for me.. to the time I see them but a couple of times a year and my hair has turned white... to when a pair of sexy male eyes merely give me cause to reflect upon the beauty of my youth and all the talent I had lined up in wait.

Yes I look forward to my cat lady adventures..there is a freedom in accepting we do not have to care about trifles such as wrinkles getting fat and invisibilty to the male race..

I will sew, do pottery,photography, learn how to write and lovingly cook an abundance of food which I will give away to my friends and family...and I will have cats...as many as I can accomadate..why, because I love them, and because they say what they mean and mean what they say...not many in my life have afforded me this much respect...

You know where you stand with a cat !

The Dark Night.

Tonight out walking with a friend, the sky was threatening dark clouds, raindrops, spitting here and there landing on my face, my hair. The wind stirred biting and cold... vigourously whipping hair around my cold face and bluish lips.
It was bleak and the dark shadows held promise of imagined danger and terror. I felt an adrenaline rush,my steps quickened !

The moon was trying to break through the storm clouds, retreated back, weak and uninspired. This night had the feel of some old black and white 1930s movie thriller and I was the hunted..

... Back at my front gate I felt exhilarated and high and I knew nothing from this step on would compare to what I had just left behind me, out there.

It was magical and wild, it was love

"In memory of the once fluid man, crammed and distorted by the classical mess"

I swear that is possibly one of the best quotes I have ever heard..but then this was Bruce Lee and considering he was a not only a very spiritual man but a philosopher as well...he kind of wrote his own language .

"Fuckingest", yes this is his word.. he kind of just plucked them out of the air oh so casually...and used it as well...how cool is this man?

5ft7 and all of 165lbs and he was and remains the best Martial Artist the world has ever known..

As a child I used to fill in the words to songs I loved with what I thought the lyric was..this made a few very funny memories later on as an adult when I discovered what the correct lyrics were...so as you can magine when I saw "fuckingest" I was really chuffed... if its good enough for Bruce Lee, then it's good enough for me.. : )

I love a dark windy night,clouds skimming the full moon.
