If the human mind was simple enough to understand,

we'd be too simple to understand it. (Emerson Pugh)

Back in the game

You know what? Dating is kind of fun, despite the emotional roller coaster than can come with it.

Yesterday afternoon, hot day, meeting after work for a walk on the beach. I’m walking around with the biggest goofiest grin ever.
Tomorrow night? Dinner at his place. Will I be able to concentrate at work tomorrow? I don’t think so!

Sweetness

Sweet, beautiful things. Oh, Sundayschool makes me want to spin in circles with her beautiful posts… but so many lovely links!
Two blogs from Lobster and Swan:

Both make me swoon. These! These are the little paper ephemeral bits of art I’d love to create. What would I do with them? It doesn’t matter - these thoughts come from the practical cautious doubtful side of my mind and get in the way of my actually creating.
So many ideas. You have no idea just how much paper and bits I have hoarded away. Soon.

An aside:

All that being said, maybe I should check my lottery ticket - $50 million jackpot tonight (that’d be one hot potato I’d catch with glee!).

Guerrilla Gardening

I read this article on my lunch break last week, and loved it so much I had to email myself the link so I wouldn’t lose it.

The article: Shock gardening troops attack urban eyesores
The website: Guerrilla Gardening (which I only found tonight and have plenty more reading to do)

I can imagine scattering cornflower and poppy seeds along the overgrown grassy railway verges, for a spring full of colour, which would last at least a couple of seasons. I miss gardening, and I’m jealous of my Dad’s grand no-dig garden plans.

Time

My clock radio has this uncanny knack of gaining time. Initially I set it about five minutes faster than my wristwatch, though within a few weeks or so, it will have moved forward at least another twenty minutes beyond the actual time. It baffles me why this happens, particularly as there are no obvious power surges.
There are striking similarities between my time warped clock radio and my life right now. Where did July go, and where, for that matter, has the first half of August gone?
