Thanks Play!!

• This morning, thanks to Play.com's early shipping, I received my copy of last year's best horror movie, Swichblade Romance (Aka Haute Tension) before it's release on Monday. I would just like to say, Thank you Play.

What are you doing this Valentines?

Back in December, whilst clearing a ladder out of the road outside the nick with one of our Firemen neighbor's, he invited me to the Valentines Disco at the Fire station on 12th Feb and to put the word around work, which I kind of did. This morning, I was driving past the Fire Station when I saw a board outside advertising the Valentines Disco to all who want to go.

So who's interested?

What makes a great coffee shop?

Should I adpot?

This afternoon I have been pondering long and hard as to my next step into settledom. I need something to focus my time and energy on, keeping me out of trouble. Then I saw Chad and now the question stands should I see if I'm eligble to adopt him? Or is that too much of a comitment for me to take on?

"Hi! My name's Chad."

Tell me what you think.

To read more about Chad, see what other dogs and cats are looking for rehoming, or to find out more about Battersea Dog Home click here.

Of course, I could wait a while and get another Chihuahua cross.....


It's not the size that matters . . .

Just Desserts

Pudding anyone?

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a resturant devoted entirely to selling desserts? And even nicer if they did take outs and deliveries?

"Hi, yes. I'd like to order a vanilla cheesecake and a bottle of sweet, dessert wine please, for delivery!!"

How wonderful would that be?? I've seen the Restaurant/Cafe/Take Away part of it work in San Francissco, but would it work round here? Would you frequent it if one was near you?

All ideas and opinions greatly appreciated.

Ideally I'd make this a reality. Put together a consortium of whoever wants to join, approach a bank and see what we can do. And if you know any rich investor types who'd like to offer backing, great! Anyone interested?

Sleep
And I shall watch over you
And when the dawn is breaking
I shall wake you
I shall protect you, keep you
Safe

Bitter Sweet Peace

Oh bitter sweet death
Come now upon me
Take me from all which pains me
Free me from my mortal turmoil
And let me rest with you

Be Yourself

Let these crazy days end
Be yourself
Live as you once lived

The mirroe image tells a lie
The person inside crys
'Let me be myself' it says
'Let me be instead'

Let go of all that is past
Open your heart
Give your soul it's freedom
Be yourself

Beautiful Day

From the midnight blue
To the sun's dawning
Early morning
Fresh and clear

The grey clouds looming
Melt away
As the sun shines through
It's a beautiful day!
