Moving Day


Well, hopefully anyway - so long as the guy running the show gets his act together & comes up with some bloody keys I can lock the door with...

Today, or very soon then, I'll be moving lock, stock & not the barrel yet, to greenish pastures new which don't have a 'phone line, let alone internet access beyond a veeery slow & expensive mobile network dongle (£15 for 3GB - I ask ya! - and they're one of the cheaper ones)

Bunches of things to do & sort out, not directly related to moving - trying to sell a boat I own, work out how to get somewhere other than the trashy trailer park I'm shifting to, to live in, Daddy in the hospital running a sub-30 heart-rate (fixed later today with a pacemaker, fingers crossed).... It's all Go you Know - oh, and the legalities, forms & wrangles of divorce too - what fun & excitement all round. Truth be told though, between the "omg how many things?, How long?, How Much?"... and sadness/depression, there is excitement & hope peeking through; bursting through some days, in fact; and I do have a great deal to look forward to - Oh Yes indeed.

Fair do's - it's not at all sunny here today - but it was yesterday, and sorta feels it to me, regardless of the weather...

Sunshine Of Your Love - Rotary Connection
Songs (1969)
buy

Planning My Escape - Sleeping States
Old vs New EP (2008)
buy | myspace

Cage Of Ribs - Da Bears
The World Famous Da Bears (2006)

What with Sparks & a few more - these boys were & still are one of my favourite bands - so for now, it seems right to end with something old-timey & optimistic from 'em - marvellous eh, I love it to bits.
Find Yourself A Rainbow - Slade
Old New Borrowed And Blue (1974)
buy

Despite very few recent posts, and a distinct lack of internet or a faintly portable computer for the moment - I'm not stopping this here blog - sincere thanks to those you who've commented & emailed, or even just kept coming & looking... I shall return, and soon.

  1. I've been so remiss in my comments. Forgive me. I have too many crazy/mad people following my scribbles. Plus with him smiling his smile, I tend to spend less time inside now. Hope the move goes well for you, Andy.

  3. Hi Andy,

    Please hang in there. It's always "darkest before the dawn." A bit trite and cliche-ish, but I have found it to be true. All the best to you - lots of luck and sunshine - and look forward to when you'll be telling us that things are running smoothly again.

    Hugs,
    MissP

  5. Ah, darling! Sending my most, bestest thoughts your way and just know that you are not alone in whatever you're going through, even as grim as it sounds. What a plateful you've been given! I'm so sorry to hear it. Music... keep it on, as I do. It helps, I swear it heals.

    much, much love and admiration,
    Tart
