So. Ever since I was ill (I’m still getting tired easily and so taking it easy…but I’m definitely better now), I’ve been in a very creative mindset. Thoughts following in slightly more coherent chains than usual, and getting somewhere…and staying … Continue reading

Jun Key Me

So, it’s probably the longest period of time in…..I can’t remember how long, that I’ve not had any intoxicants in my system. Right now, for over twenty four hours (actually, almost 36) I haven’t drunk any alkiehole, smoked any reefer … Continue reading

Palatable – Musical Explorations

This is me…there is no better glimpse of my soul than this. So, I’m upbeat enough to talk about something that isn’t whinging. Three Cheers and all that. So, I find it strange that people don’t like music. And perhaps … Continue reading
