Recycle everything...

I've gone crazy...recycling and trying to find good ideas of how i can make things without throwing my rubbish, litter stuff away. So far i've started on a decorative bowl and i've made five money pouches! They are ace, i'm really pleased with them. I know i should get out more, but its a worthwhile pastime, as everyone around here seems to be so keen on wastage, and rubbish, and throw-away, not to mention the number of vehicles they have parked outside their houses! I'm going out now anyway, i'll probably get recycle-creative cold turkey jitters, but thats ok. I've got to learn how to control it and just say 'NO', well, just for today anyway! Byeeeeee.

Today has been a laugh...

I don't know why, but i've been completely giddy all day today. I think its because a bloke on the radio this morning claimed the current financial crisis was so bad, that it signals doom for us all and will go down in history as the worst economic catastrophe ever (he was made redundant this morning). Its not that statement that tickled me, but a guy who followed up his call with a comment that i think makes complete sense. He said "It was pointless feeling sorry for ourselves, redundancies, job losses and belt tightening should all be greeted in an air of optimism for the future". He continued "There are far more terrible things going on in the world, so get a grip and move on". I don't know what it was, but i became a lot more optimistic after this and did my daily dealings this morning while laughing and singing my head off! I was still laughing later on when i heard an unconnected Bernard Manning comment shortly after, that just completely doubled me up to the extent of me injuring myself! Don't ask, i'm still in a bit of pain!:)

its time for change, and its got to be big change!

I've realised i am pretty naff at virtually everything! It's taken a while to sink in, but now i've finally decided that this is the case. I'm not bad at time keeping and i'm ok at drawing, but don't expect me to remember your birthday, or what band is going to play here or there, or when. Navigation is another thing i'm poor at, because maps are pretty much lost on me. I don't drive cars or motorcycles as i fear i'd be a danger to the public, and the navigation aspect compounds this fact really. As i write this, i realise my spelling seems to have taken a wobbler as well, so i can add that to the list! I'm quite good at talking complete bilge though, i seem to have no problems in that department, and i'm sure there are queues of people who wood back me on that one. Spelling mistake i think you spotted, correct, but its only to remind me that i was quite good at woodwork and joinery at school. This seems to have been replaced by a talent for sculpting and modelling (not fashion). I don't know if i'm good at lying though, basically cos i don't like to do it. I think that is a plus, not sure? I don't seem to be as swift as i was a few years ago either... I expected this of course, but its really frustrating and helps me to do a worse job of things when you know it should have been completed last week. I'm no good at this blog thing as it happens, but as you can tell from this rant, i might be getting a little better at it. Sometimes i talk too quietly, and then there is my hearing... Have you got a spare hour? Oh yeah, Good luck Obama!

all this weather hurts my head!


I'm hoping its a bit nicer out there today, it was rough on Friday in a very deserted town, but the atmosphere improved very well. Same stuff with the pen really, but trying to change it. This French music is very good. I'll be doing a lot more listening, now if it was just a little louder...

all mixed up, it wants to take me with it...


thought i was getting better, but i've got a lot worse. Now i'm really fed up! One of my websites seems to have disappeared too, been searching and still can't find it. Finance is taking hold of people seriously now i think! Well, i'm going to risk it, it might be the end of me, but gotta do something, can't stay locked up much longer, how cold and dangerous can it be, really? I'll let you know from hospital, if it gets to that! :P Happy New Year
