Haiku Monday 'n stuff

The Solstice morning
Sun arose late from darkness
Deep midwinter light




So, newness??? CK had some colour in her hair, it looks like an electric turquoise yet should've been vivid blue. Reason why - having lovely black asian hair, the bleaching process just wouldn't take. So instead of a white blonde all ready to dye it was a nice yellow blonde. Blue dye on yellow blonde = turquoisey colour.





Friday night was show night for CK and Stealth, I went along to watch and as usual it was awesome. They have a wonderful youth theatre and always work really hard on any productions they do. It was a montage of lots of dancing and show tunes... Fame, Me and my girl, Les Mis to name but a few. As carnelian dude was at work I had to go alone and felt really nobby no mates as there were only 3 seats left empty in the auditorium and yes - they were next to little ol' lonesome me..at the interval I could almost feel a panic attack descending so with quick thinking and a pocket full of change I went to the bar and downed a bottle of cider and hey presto - panic attack averted!!! Not something I'd normally do, self medicate with alcohol but last thing I needed surrounded by 300 people was to dissolve into a gibbering wreck! lol.

Saturday night we went out for an indian meal with the adults from the martial arts club that CK goes to. No comment except interesting. As there were a lot parents there it was just like being in the playground at school with lots of cliques - I cannot abide playground mums with their keeping up with the jones' attitudes and bitchiness.


And now Christmas week is here. Gifts are wrapped, turkey is bought and I have a little twinkle in my eye that probably means trifle...

Love, light and peace guys, love light and peace. xx

Stealth and the pirate

Here is a picture of Stealth and the Pirate dog. She is a proper pirate, what with the pillaging and general rudeness associated with most pirates. She is cute but drives me to distraction and I cannot wait til New Year when her and our other pooch are off to stay in kennels for a week while we traipse about visiting ungrateful people who we/ they don't want to see....
Families- who'd have 'em.



Sooo not my house....
Yule/Christmas shopping is done and things are wrapped, which is always a plus considering I am mostly intellectually challenged at this time of year. Bring it on I say - at least my bloke might make an appearance - and no, he's not Father Christmas, he works for a global distribution company, so we wave good bye to him on 1st of Dec and expect him home sometime on Christmas eve. Hang on a minute.... maybe he is Santa!!! Indian Santa...

Haiku Monday, a day late....

Magic in my house
Does not sap my energy
Calm and feeling safe

Ooops, there goes November..

So, it's been a while eh? I'd love to give some reasonable excuse to why I haven't blogged for so long - like maybe I was tending to the sick and injured in a war torn country or running round the country handing out scarves and gloves to old grannies. I wasn't. I have been tres lazy where the computer is concerned. I have looked at it as I dash past it towards the kitchen or the garden and seen it with it's little blue light just staring at me but I cast it aside for the more mundane tasks such as life, dog training and chocolate.

But I iz back now.

So, not much happening really, life goes on doesn't it, even if you don't want it to and you're left chasing it like in an old black and white movie when the heroine is on the train and the hero is chasing down the platform after said train shouting "but dahling when will I see you again."

I think my life is less dramatic yet with undertones of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope On the Road to Morrocco..

Today I am going to deliver Yule cards to the friends and neighbours on my street, they will all think they are Christmas cards but that is part of my cunning plan of Yule cards cleverly disguised as Christmas cards!! Then no one need know that I am treading a different path to them all and will be sat lighting candles and drawing energy from the moon tonight. Ah, bless - blow a little kiss to our little mother, the moon - she always appreciates it.

I had a bit of a wobble over the weekend when I learnt friends of ours were buying their kids some extravagant gifts for Christmas. For a whole 24 hrs I was distraught at the fact that maybe I was a terrible Mother for not spending like a kagillion pounds on CK and Stealth for Yule/Christmas. But then my lovely husband spent some time reminding me that I am near as damn it a hippie at heart and spending to excess on materialistic things just isn't like me and that hey what are those guys going to top this yrs presents with??
He was right. I had a keeping up with the Jones's moment and it really threw me as I am not subject to those very often, if infact at all...
As a family we are well known for being ourselves and loving and nurturing who we are.

Jones's mo over with, phew....

Besides, all CK really wants is some fluffy black boot covers....


Love, light and peace to all as I think we all deserve it during these cold,dark winter months.
