Things are looking up. There is sunshine everywhere; even my neighbourhood (of mostly family-oriented Muslims) has taken on a cool, and Mediterranean feel, with pavement chairs by cafes.
Spent some time recently back in my old hood of Nottingham, to see Wholesome fish - a brilliant world-folk/pop/punk band. They were my most favourite band in the world when I lived there when I spent many a boozy gig spinning like a whirligig on the dancefloor. After a 7 year break, the band has reformed and they are busy setting Notts alight again. Listen to some tracks on their myspace site.
On waking (whilst worrying about bills) I had a brainwave that this weekend would be one of repair and attention to my physical self. My half waking mantra to Etos (local pharmacy chain) was this: razors, dye, massage brush. Bounced out of bed (really!) to get supplies. Managed to cover more than just that in the mantra. Now I have items for hair, skin, nails, and teeth, I shall be best in show when done with all this lot.
Also bought a pure fruit collection from the grocery store, so my insides will be as shiny and healthy as the outside.
