This is awesome...

(Probably don't need to say this but FYI: all the noises you hear are 'human generated'!)

Let it snow...

The snow has ground things to a halt in Mashbury. The normally bustling metropolis is quiet as a glutton's fruit bowl and quite frankly that's no bad thing. Today is a day of going slowly. It was meant to be a day of rehearsal but as neither of my fellow band members wanted to make the trip over in the potentially death trap conditions all is quiet in the Mashbury air.

So I sit here reflecting on life. And thinking that I aught to do something constructive with my day but currently I am content to work my way through season 4 of 24 and eat chocolate orange. In fact, pretty soon I might go and make some dinner downstairs, and then return to continue with my 24-a-thon.

After all, yesterday afternoon I spent 3 hours alone in the cold sitting in my car (which wouldn't start) waiting for an RAC man to come and sort out a new battery for me before I could drive home from Northamptonshire. It sucked and I'm kind of glad for the naturally-enforced day off. Now if only my friends could get here and we could have a snowball fight...

Words can't express...

Do you ever have moments when words can't express how you feel?

I do.

There have been times when I'm looking out at something so breathtakingly perfect and beautiful. Some sculpted landscape. I might be standing on a hilltop looking out, words sticking in my throat - I can't express how I feel. I wish I could stay there forever. But if you asked me how it feels I couldn't say. I know it's the most fantastic sensation and at the same time so frustrating...because if you asked me how it feels I couldn't say.

There's moments when you look at someone you love and you realise you love them being in your life so much right at that moment that you wish you could experience that kind of emotion at that intensity all the time and you wish time could stand still. But at the same time if you did have that emotion at that intensity all the time you'd know it wouldn't quite express how perfect you feel right now.

Or, like has just happened to me, you hear music so beautiful that you wish you could climb up inside it and rest there amongst the harmony and melody. (Maybe take a listen to the music from the balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet - an instrumental version of the song 'Kissing You' sung by Des'ree and see where I'm coming from...)
