What Don't We Want? When Don't we Want it?

You know those times when we get borderline catatonic watching all and sundry chase their goals? Hearing them tell us how to achieve ours?

It gets that bit too glossy, bossy — and, yes, drossy.

(I may have invented that word…)

But then what do I know? I can’t even use the IG filters prettily.

Perhaps, first let’s admit how, far from having all the answers, we don’t even know the questions.

Then — maybe, let’s not push this — consider one thing we might know.

What we don’t want in life.

Start there.

List those things.

Along with the very beginning, knowing what you don’t want in your life is a very good place to start!

Look at that — a Sound of Music reference for first thing on a cloudy Thursday.

Talking of today’s weather - earlier, I came out with this spoonerism: ‘Oh, it’s gone a clit boudy…’

Ooh, er, missus.

My Mate Jamie-Ray Hartshorne

I've been noticing that alongside photos of Jamie-Ray being a lead in Altar Boys , creating Change My Body UK TM , working the door at Freedom - and clearly asking people passing by wherever that rockpool may be to snap a double-bicep - this sort of thing is cropping up on his social media: We're in The Diner, Jamestown Road, Camden. He's between tour dates of The Bodyguard, and meetings to discuss sportswear and creatine endorsements. The latter, he says, being all about making his product better. Between sips of his peanut butter milkshake (he's allowing himself dairy today in my honour - I don't quite know how to take that) he says in his soft Brum, 'I've signed up for a major Muay Thai event in Thailand next February. I'm going up against one of the Thai fighters. That's the only real way to gain any respect in the fighting world. That's why you've been noticing the combat photos. I...

Psychic Readings

As it's Summer Solstice, let's revisit my mother's lodge for a seance. We know from a previous blog entry that lodge members are asked only to heal, and to have no truck with past lives and spirit guides. See: Previous blog featuring the lodge... On the QT they have seances, at which the medium tunes in to great mysteries of the past. Here are some of the readings. I've taken out anything that explicitly reveals the subject of the reading. Then we can play at guessing what it might be... 'There's something to do with a pile of tied up newspapers. Was there an evening paper delivery? They need to talk to the paper boy from back then as he saw something relevant but didn't understand at the time what it was he was seeing. There's also something to do with the plants by the front door. The leaves of one of them were too dark to have been real. Put there on purpose to deflect attention from ...

Who Will Buy "My Tutu Went AWOL!"?

Here’s my audiobook for you. Will you buy? Click here It’s self-narrated: with songs, adlibs and bloopers as standard. ‘Achingly funny!’ Daily Mail ‘A book unlike any other, of a story unlike any other. Totally mad, very funny and highly recommended.’ ***** Dr Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt: the Nation’s Favourite Book Guardian Here’s the story… I sang in private formally for Queen Elisabeth ii on HMS Victory , and then accidentally auditioned to take my drag ballerina act out to entertain troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. In full tutu. When I realised my mistake, I thought I’d go anyway. Cut to: with tutu and tiara in a Primark bag, me arriving bedraggled in Basra. As Stacks, the Royal Marines Commando, commented: ‘Being flown out to one of the big two — Iraq and Afghanistan — is like you’ve been beamed down off the Starship Enterprise, and this time Scotty’s got the coordinates well and truly buggered!’ I went from this: ...
