Today

Today was a holiday for me. Yesterday I'd had a hellish early evening, stuck in traffic as I desperately tried to make my way back across country in time for a Cheeky Young Monkeys-fest. Traffic was everywhere. Cars were everywhere. But I made it! The traffic cleared and I began to zoom at precarious speeds along dimly lit country lanes through torrential rain making it to the Railway Hotel on the dot of nine.
I had a really bad dream last night. Vivid. I dreamt that I was living in a flat and that lots of people kept coming in (who I didn't recognise). This was, I learned, because the doors didn't shut properly and kept opening. All this wasn't so bad but there was one guy who openly confessed to me that he'd stolen a lot of my stuff - my TV and hi-fi etc. He was brazen about it. I contemplated shooting him but in the end decided to go round to his house and tell his Mum and Dad!
Today was all right. I went for a walk in Southend High Street, which I love. I had a coffee in Utopia and chatted with the owner there. I felt the really really cold air on my head, yet in myself I felt warm. I love this bracing ourselves against the elements, it's so dramatic.

Well done Sarah!

Congrats to Sarah and Lee and their new little boy and girl.
Our best wishes to all of them...
