the phoenix: May 2015
http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 May 2015. Also, I went to meet other people bereaved by suicide on Wednesday, a small warm group, a space to talk offered as part of a festival of death and dying in our neighbouring town, called Pushing Up Daisies. A marvellous encounter, and the meeting of a need I didn't even know I had. I hope we may meet again. This weekend my brother and my sister will be here. First time we'll all have been together since my Mum's funeral. Sunday, 17 May 2015. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

the phoenix: December 2014

Tuesday, 30 December 2014. All I Have To Do Is Dream. A ukelele has arrived in our home! The inspired Christmas gift from L to both of us. It is red and oh so small! The main problem is my hands are quite big and the frets of a ukelele are small. Watch this space to see if I decide I really must get a guitar again after all these years. Tuesday, 23 December 2014. Easily the best part of Christmas. Okay, loaves are in, soup needs blending. Late lunch today, I think! Sunday, 14 December 2014. Exploring las...

the phoenix: January 2015

Wednesday, 21 January 2015. About six inches today. It fell and it fell and it fell. We didn't go anywhere. Watched from the window as our car and garden disappeared under soft white curves. And snot, which has hijacked my life for a week now. I will spare you the details. Tissues have been a major part of my life. I can't think or feel properly. Yesterday I thought I was really beginning to recover, but the grade of snot has thickened today (sorry I was sparing you the details wasn't I? Future of my past.

the phoenix: March 2015
http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 March 2015. Always have fresh flowers in the house. Make kefir - drink kefir. Do some exercises every morning - even for three minutes. Meditate (nearly) every morning - no judgement about the leaping monkey that is my mind. Five minutes in - '. Did you say we were supposed to be doing? Keep remembering to be kind kind kind. Walk every day. Take in something from the walking - the lapwings, the curlews, the light. Sing to yourself, to G and to Mum. This is not forever. Cool Spots And Hot Spots.

the phoenix: Knock Knock
http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2015/06/knock-knock.html
Thursday, 4 June 2015. A work opportunity appears to be knocking. The chance to start gently with a day or so a week, and see how it goes. Working with children again. Amazed. Grateful. Blessed. The day the weather changed. Sounds good, all the best with it! 6 June 2015 at 18:22. So good to see this. The barometer is really rising. 6 June 2015 at 18:24. So pleased for you. 7 June 2015 at 20:45. Hooray for hopeful news! 8 June 2015 at 22:14. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cool Spots And Hot Spots.

the phoenix: November 2014
http://slightlysinged.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 November 2014. I could leave it at that. Remembering G telling me how she liked fog. The dampness on my coat, the tiny droplets that day. From G's window another valley she often looked out at while I got my shoes and coat on at the end of the session. Even this time last year. Still then. To be seen, understood, accepted and loved in one's rawness and vulnerability a rare and precious gift. To lose this a raw and aching loss. It goes on and I go on. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. In the end,.

pohanginapete: Ghost thoughts
http://pohanginapete.blogspot.com/2015/08/ghost-thoughts.html
Pete lives in the Pohangina Valley, Aotearoa/New Zealand and writes about travelling and people, mountains and other wild places, photography, Aotearoa-NZ, natural history, strangeness and possibility, wondering, life in general and a swag of other stuff. ('Paw-HUNG-in-uh' is a close enough pronunciation.). But those rides tend to be irregular, and less common in winter. Now my preferred exercise is a walk up the No. 1 Line track, with the bike rides interspersed so I’m not binge-exercising. When I bike ...

Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Last day of September. Thursday, 18 September 2014. Did you get that last text? Says a woman across the aisle, very loudly into her mobile phone. The couple in the seats in front do not appear startled. An area of Manchester Victoria Station under development is crammed full of cranes and diggers of various sizes, yellow and red with names like Ultra Boom and Liebherr The sky's the limit,.
