Reconcile
I wrote this a few weeks ago, because as always, I needed it to be anywhere but in my head. But it remained unfinished. I thought that perhaps with time maybe something would change, but re-reading the words, nothing has. So here I am, and here are my words... Being asked why I choose to keep you in my life. What good are you to me? What is it that ( Read more... ) -
Falling Back
It's my final morning in New York, and this city and I have had...our ups and downs. Some, including me, question my sanity returning to this place, given that every time I come here by the time it's time for me to get on that plane I'm practically screaming, 'Get me out of here!' Usually followed by the words, 'I'm done. I have no reason to ever ( Read more... ) -
The One Who Hits the Hardest
You understand. Yes I do, only not for the reasons you believe. You think I understand because I was there to witness it. I was. I waited in anticipation along with everyone else. Waiting for that moment when everything was just right. Waiting for a time when there was no longer any reason to be apart. Waiting, like everyone else, for something we ( Read more... ) -
Last Day
In the early moments of the end of, quite possibly, my favourite year, you come back to me. Unexpected and always welcomed. I see you and there is no need for hesitation, no fear of being unwanted. I go to you and am greeted by your smile. Tentative steps but only because this feels like the beginning, when we each know what we want but there is no ( Read more... ) -
In With the New
I’ve never been one for change, I realise that things must, but sometimes I’d rather they didn’t. Sometimes though, you’ve got to. So, when my PC gave up on me on Wednesday night for the umpteenth time I decided that it was time for a change. After having a look at some PCs during lunch the next day we went down to PC World with the intention of ( Read more... ) -
And the winner is...
So I know that it was a long fought battle and that people have been waiting with bated breaths to find out the results following last month's surprise. At the start of the month I thought that an outsider might take away the title the way they started off. As the month progressed however things started to change and I had the feeling a few weeks ( Read more... ) -

LDNmeetsMNL
Now, as a lot of you know and a lot of you have no idea of, I've had my hand in writing for quite some time now. Over the years my words have taken many forms. Despite my lack of brevity (as this post most likely attest) I've never quite managed to write a great novel or a 3hr length screenplay, I've realised over the years that my writing style is ( Read more... ) -
Life's Circus
In the darkness, as silence falls and the spotlight focuses on its subject I realise how much the contents of Cirque mirrors life. Sometimes it's a little scary, other times it can make you laugh. Even though it may not make any sense half of the time you can't help but be mesmerised by the spectacle of it all ( Read more... ) -
Snowed In!
I was woken up this morning not by my alarm, but by Shak jolting me into a state of semi-consciousness to ask me how she'd get to work coz there are NO buses running in London because according to our website, 'ALL LONDON BUSES HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER AND DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS ( Read more... )
