Stand up.Rise up from the dustfrom the mudfrom the cold, hard ground.Stand up and receive the saluteas all are gathered to honourand respect,we breathe life into you,an

If it carries on raining i'll float away

Pandora — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:28:00 GMT

But if the rain reaches up here there'll not be much left to stay for. All night it rained. And on and off all day. One minute crisp and clear blue skies, the next rain hammering on the windows like it's after my famous galaxy cake. Som

I ate some olives. and some feta

Pandora — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:05:00 GMT

So honestly it's not just a liquid tea. But I never feel hungry when I get home past half seven on my own. I wonder what I would be like if I wasn't with someone. J always had to eat, regular as clockwork, three meals a day, or at least two.

Half and half

Pandora — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:06:00 GMT

Well, the first half of the evening was a success. Gym, swim. Then back and too much chinese food and hours of hallmark and bejewelled blitz. It's kind of like meditation. like the trance i get into while swimming. Randomly trolling through

Mill Inn at Mungrisdale

Pandora — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:38:00 GMT

http://www.the-millinn.co.uk/index.html I am recommending this place to my parents who are heading up to Penrith for an anniversary weekend shortly, I don't know if I've mentioned it here before. Fabulous food, and wonderful setting. They did

Why is the internet rubbish at 6.25 in the morning?

Pandora — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:59:00 GMT

I blame you, America. Or is it just the train I am on? No. I prefer to blame America. I know this may seem unreasonable and a tad bullying, but I have decided to bully them until they vote themselves a decent healthcare system. At least they've v

Solitary sundays

Pandora — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:45:00 GMT

I should eat. But I can't really be bothered. Have piles of books around me to sort, things from the storage unit. Listening to "smooth" classics - what they mean by smooth is clearly slit your wrist depressing classics. Probably not wi

Truly mobile

Pandora — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:01:00 GMT

Finally! Mobility! I am blogging at lunch from the wardrobe. The bar that is, not the big wooden cupboard in my bedroom. Poppy wouldn't like me blogging from there, it's her hideout. Ah my lovely little friend. I am glad I finally gave in and

Bakey Bakey rise and shine

Pandora — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:46:00 GMT

Today didn't go quite as well as planned. but the plan was a little ambitious for a sunday which after all should be a day of rest. Or so they say. Got up about ten and spent a while leafing through recipe books to decide what to bake. On decidin

Werther - Massinet

Pandora — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:06:00 GMT

Tonight a change from the usual routine, Massinet's Werther performed by Opera North at the Grand Theatre in Leeds. It was interesting. Very bleak. I've never got round to reading the Goethe, I wonder if the Opera does it justice. For t

I believe the correct term is: "W00T!!!!"

Wow. amazing how many of the folks on my blogroll have gone dark. I guess i should refresh it at some point

Tired vs. wired

Pandora — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:46:00 GMT

This venlafaxine is a pain in the arse. Tired to death during the day, can't sodding sleep at night. Brain churning like magma, all the demons in the world descend to nibble at my ears. Why is it they don't bother me when i'm stood up, wa

Storm Warning

Pandora — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:39:00 GMT

The day has a festival feel.I can smell the green from the leaves on the trees,taste the rain promised on the breeze.Time ticks in slow motionthe occasional freezeframecapturing momentslike butterflies in a jar.Memories,snapshots,promises.Remembering

the sound of trampolines and purring

Pandora — Mon, 25 May 2009 14:41:00 GMT

I swear the children in the house behind mine have been trampolining solidly since daybreak. constant boing boing of springs going on back there. Thankyou to the weather gods for keeping it reasonably fine for a couple of days so we could get t

New Year's Resolutions

Pandora — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:46:00 GMT

Funny. I looked back at last year's resolutions, I hadn't realised I was so sad. I sound very down, resigned, feeling like there is no future. And yet this year has surprised me. In many ways. And I suppose I have surprised myself.

I need slapping

Pandora — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 15:26:00 GMT

Argh!Well, as you can see, I have neglected the diet blogging somewhat. And while I haven't neglected the diet quite as much I haven't done much better. I just did my measurements and it's quite depressing - while they are better th

Swimming against the tide

Pandora — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:42:00 GMT

Well this has been a fortnight of ups and downs, in more ways than one. I feel a dire need to get back to where I was a couple of weeks ago, as i'm not doing as well as I was. There has been a lovely birthday weekend, coupled with things being in

4 miles

Pandora — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 21:41:00 GMT

Walked to the New Delight today, from Heptonstall. Nice pub, will have to go over for food sometime, maybe when my folks are over. Had a couple of drinks and sat outside, we were lucky and the rain largely kept off. Lucky especially consi

what will 32 bring I wonder?

Pandora — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:06:00 GMT

My first birthday shenanegans tonight. J took me out for dinner to Little Tokyo, very nice, and very nice to see him as it seems like ages. Things are all so hectic at the moment. Bloody house never seems to get any better, and weekends a

worthiness

Pandora — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:55:00 GMT

No sins yesterday at all! No booze. And I went swimming. Go me. Today not quite so worthy but still good, less than 10 sins.Swimming was harder last night - only 15 lengths, and I had to struggle for that. Wonder if it&#

You win some you lose some

Pandora — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:46:00 GMT

Hmm. Interesting set of results this week - gained back a little of what was lost weight wise, measurements up and down. Difficult really to analyse at this early stage. The measurements are slight enough that it could be a case of variation in
