Glorious... I'll give you guys three guesses as to where I'd rather be today. All three will probably be right too... ;-) Current Mood:  Wistful | | Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 | | 4:02 pm |
*Enchanted* With my childhood obsession for Starlight Express came a bit of a thing for steam trains. It's probably one of the reasons I love the Steampunk aesthetic, something about a work of art that is also useful. I spent a lot of time at the Colne Valley Railway as a youngster and was a member there for a while. For my 13th birthday, Mum took me on the Settle to Carlisle steam service, for which I dressed up in a long white gown, hat and gloves. I managed to get left alone at Carlisle after I spent too long admiring the steam engine and got put on an Intercity 125 (very exciting to me back then!) by the friendly station staff. A very relieved Mum met me at a station part of the way home. I've got some photos from that trip somewhere... Today I found this: How to Boot a Steam Locomotive. How cool is that?! :-D I'd love to have a go at it, although I don't know if I'd have the stamina. And I'd definitely have to wear something other than the white dress... ;-) Current Mood: Interested | | Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 | | 3:13 pm |
Thank-you Tom... ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tbrd has just put up an interesting post on the subject of changing the Self. The fluidity of Self and the fact that we are all capable of far more than we think we are is something I've really been trying to keep in mind over the last 6 1/2 months. I've been regaining parts of myself that I had lost or neglected, as well as trying to change for the better in other aspects... It's been hard work in places, but ultimately very rewarding. :-) On a related note, I found an excellent volunteering resource today: http://www.do-it.org.uk/Some of these really make me think about trying to make time for volunteering again. It's been a while... Current Mood: thoughtful | | Monday, July 21st, 2008 | | 3:07 pm |

Heh... My Google daily horoscope: You may feel limited in what you can do because of your lack of experience or something that went wrong in your past. Accepting yourself for who you are includes embracing your personal history. If you need to disclose something you've been keeping to yourself, do it without concern for what others think. Although they may have their opinions, your current actions will speak for you better than anything else can.Something I should bear in mind across my entire life rather than just today I think...

Another Zen Habits post... I haven't been inspired by anything on there for a while, but today comes this post on developing patience: http://zenhabits.net/2008/07/15-tips-for-becoming-as-patient-as-job/As many of you know, I am not the most patient person in the world by a long shot. I want everything to happen right here and right now, I have a tendency to snap at people if they annoy me and I have a short fuse. Since this is one of the few attributes I have inherited (learned?) from my dad that I can actually change, I am trying my best to do so. And this post has some good tips in it. :-) Current Mood: thoughtful | | 9:14 am |
Today - despite listening to Within Temptation on the way into work - I have various songs by The Corrs going around my head. I despair of my brain sometimes. Maybe it's that violin thing again? Current Mood: amused | | Sunday, July 6th, 2008 | | 3:22 pm |

Various, including BATCAVE ticket for sale!! I would like the whole world to know that last night I learned to sing and play my violin at the same time. Admittedly it was only Frère Jacques, but that's not the point. Watch out Seth Lakeman, I'm catching up!! ;-P Does anyone want my Batcave ticket? After taking a week of unpaid leave for Glastonbury I'm completely broke and so a/. can't afford a night out in London next Friday and b/. need to make back the money I spent on the ticket. It's a full ticket covering the gig and the club night at Antichrist afterwards and it cost me £25. It's yours for £20 + p&p (say £1.50 for recorded delivery). More info about the night here: http://www.myspace.com/batcavelondonhttp://www.clubantichrist.comHelen, I'm afraid my broke-ness also means I won't be making your BBQ, sorry about that. :-( I hope you have a wicked time though! :-) misterfallen - Happy Birthday!! Long write-up of Glasto is loooooooong... I'll finish it eventually... Current Mood:  bored | | Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 | | 9:09 am |
I alone... I woke up with this in my head this morning, out of the blue after not having heard it for goodness only knows how long. I only know the chorus of course, but around and around it went, and is still going... Good morning everyone. :-) Current Mood: amused | | Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 | | 1:06 pm |
Thoughts... The bad...It occurred to me the other day that I have lost nearly every boyfriend I have ever had to one drug or another. Is it any wonder therefore that I have a deep abiding suspicion of most substances - both illegal and prescribed - and of the doctors who prescribe the legal ones? The good...Amy and I decided to continue along the A10 on our way home from London last night, avoiding the hypnotic effect of the M11 and allowing us to take a little more time over our journey. The night was cloudless and warm and, while motoring along a long straight stretch, Amy asked if we could pull over into a layby. We did so, turned off the engine and got out of the van. The road was empty and silent, nothing but fields around us and the dome of the sky above. We lay in the middle of one carriageway and looked up at the millions of tiny silver lights above us, the Milky Way arcing over our heads. Moments like these can conspire to make us feel infinitely insignificant and tiny in comparison to the vastness of space, but last night I felt none of that. Of the countless number of planets there are out there, only a comparative few sustain life, let alone life that is capable of contemplating its position in the universe. And although you are one of over 6 billion people currently living on this one particular planet, no-one has ever, or will ever again, be exactly like you. You are truly unique. And although you may be just one tiny cog in the clockwork mechanism of life, everything you will ever do will affect, directly or indirectly, thousands of people around you in a ripple effect that extends far further than you think. Despite the infinite size of the universe surrounding you, you are not insignificant. And you will never be alone. Current Mood: contemplative |
