Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits, I know it's all a bit late for that but I just like saying it. Well today is officially the first day of spring, according to the man on the radio anyway, not so sure, it feels bloody freezing to me, but there is a new moon, and seeing as I've been saying it's the first day of spring for ages, today suits me just fine. There are definately a few signs, the snowdrops I planted in the autumn have come up, well a couple of them, and there's some daffodills sprouting. The ducks are getting a little fruity as well, oh the performance, all flapping and splashing and the poor female looks like it's getting drowned. But I can't wait for the ducklings, they're so cute, our first spring here we took so many photos of the ducklings, it just got silly, they all look the same and you never can quite capture that essence of cuteness ( I'll try though and post a photo of the first.)
I've been getting a little carried away today, I'm organizing a 30th Birthday Party for my best friend and I've decided it's not going to be an ordinary party, oh no, it's going to be a psychedelic Love-in, a positive happening! I'm trying to organize lights and a smoke machine, and I've got an oil projector and some super DJs, the only thing that will be missing are the hallucinogens, (don't think people would approve) and the sex (cause I'll have none of that orgy business) but aside from that there's going to be alot of love and plenty of psychedelia and I can't wait. Haven't held a party for years because our flat is far too tiny, more than four feels like a party. We used to have them in our cellar at a house I used to live in, and it was great, sometimes the cellar felt enormous cause it was full of dancing people and I'd be in heaven, sometimes they'd go on for days and sometimes people just didn't leave at all. It was the only way that house ever got a good tidy, a good clear away beforehand, then a good wash down when it was over. Those were the days, sort of, though I quite like cleanliness and reasonable solitude and not having to listen to really loud Dub when I need to sleep, shared houses have there ups and downs I suppose, but the parties, they were ups.
Went into town to shop after work, I have terrible trouble buying new clothes, and I really need some, I'm not a fan of shopping as it is, after work is good because it's not long before closing time so I don't spend hours trailing round, it turns me into a zombie eventually if I spend too long, I just end up shopping for shopping sake, which is what ever one else appears to be doing too, like zombies. My trouble is that I only see clothes that I like when I have no money, however much they cost is exactly the amount that I've haven't got, then when I have money to spend there is nothing I like. The high street fashion at the moment is horrible, I really hate it, no I don't want to dress like Shakira or Beyonce or bloody Shania Twain, and I hate gold, I can't stand it. So any way my new trick is too pretend I'm going shopping to buy household essentials like moisture traps (these are essential as my flat is dripping from every pore at the moment) then have a quick look in the clothes stores to try and catch out some nice item of clothing, it didn't work today but I'll keep trying. Chain stores are horrible places, we have a new 'Primark' which is an extremely cheap clothes shop that obviously produces they're goods in sweat shops, admitedly I loose my principles when I'm particularly skint, but it must be real slave labour the price they sell things on. Their warehouse, which was enormous, burned down before christmas, and I couldn't help thinking it must be all the bad karma incurred that caused it. I want to learn how to pattern cut (my Dad's trade) then I can make my own clothes and I'll never have to spend another moment in those fluorescent strip lit hell holes again, life's too bloody short.
On my way home my brake cable broke on my bike, the hill was terrifying and the bottom of my shoes are nearly worn away, not sure how I'll get to work tommorow I can't bear walking, will probably attempt the brakeless bike again (avoiding hills) and take it to get fixed after work. This is my 99th post, my next being my hundredth, think I may need a clear out at 100 I think, I'll see. Oh dear it's late again and I'm tierd too, I had a dream last night where I was being chased for what felt like hours by these scary demon type creatures (been watching too much 'Angel') and I didn't feel very rested this morning, hopefully tonight will be a little less eventful. Night Night!
