How can you say it with your lips so still?
All roads lead to tea room A and B
And I still
haven’t gone anywhere
and I am trapped by my one language
In time zones
Not circles
(I chewed the side of my cheek so long
That when I speak
My words have holes)
Ask no more questions, just drive,
While the key’s still turning in the ignition
While my jaw is still ( Read more... ) -

Its been a while! Apologies.
In the interim things which have happened...
Samhuinn was pretty damn good - 5000 odd people and some tight as drumming. Quite different from last year too, even aside from venue - this year we were back on the royal mile as per hundreds of years. One of the big pluses were the warm furry lined cloaks for the silent ( Read more... ) -

Notice to vacate
I am in the process of sorting my body out.
Various bits seem to be behaving wonderfully. For example, my knees have ceased to be crunchy all the time, and work just fine in all the activities I demand of them.
I also haven't had a bad batch of RSI for at least a year. So far so good.

The weekend that was
Headed down to the borders on saturday to take up our annual invite to play capoeira at Traquair Fair.
It’s the best deal ever really: In return for playing capoeira for an hour we get free entry and camping which of course leads to drinking much Traquair House Ale and dancing foolishly while slurring in bad portuguese late into the night.

Lughnassadh!
This weekend passed was the Beltane Lughnassadh feast and ritual.
What this meant in real terms was a big fire, lots of food and drumming until the blisters prevented more.
As I was in charge of the kitchen It also meant, with the aid of my fabulous assistants, and a few berimbau and pancake breaks I cooked for around 80+ people and as it went well ( Read more... ) -
