I haven't blogged for a while, I've got a few drafts saved but nothing publishable and I have my reasons for that - most of them are music links mixed in with a couple of bucket list thoughts and one was a full on, I'm off my tits on morphine and frankly don't give a flying fuck rant - about people using status updates to say how they are or to read up on how someone is - instead of actually pausing to call and ask or say.
Life has been rather chaotic of late, my social life now consists of more medical people and hospital appointments than my little diary can handle, my body has never been so in demand and my brain has become a little bit frazzled with it all. To unwind - I've been youtubing my ass off but there is also a purpose to it.
While putting my 'house in order' it struck me that scribbled notes and photographs simply aren't enough to keep memories alive and so I'm now on a mission to compile an audiable history. I want my boys to hear the music we used to slow dance to at 3am when they were colicky, remember the songs we used to sing along loudly to in the car and listen to the tunes that marked lifes occasions and with the help of a little bit of software and a microphone, I'm adding my own unique touch to some of those.
Some may consider it a rather morbid thing to be doing, but for now it's giving me a direction - some things can't be put off until the magical 'tomorrow' and so that is where I've been of late, in bed with the laptop - giving the speakers a thorough spring clean.
And to one of my dearest friends, for all of your support and time ... this is for you, thank you xx
