A Lucky Dress

Just received ND message from three days ago that I am very cold. Hot water bottle on head hoodie up blankets.

A sensation on the side of my face that is a presence and an absence. I don't think I've had a stroke, but really, these days, how would I know?

Abandoned Paul for the big print of a neglected Collected Auden, a concrete block. Twitchy eye.

Melancholy goose. Celan. Dodgy reading lamp.

Choo choo ch'boogie.

Next episode of Dollar Country is the third all Cajun special. It's up for patrons now and will be up for everyone else on Monday.

This photo is the corner of a fais-do-do in Louisiana for kids to be checked on and to sleep while the parents dance.

This needs to be done because Sylvia Townsend Warner deserves all the remembering we can manage

Small family interaction and now I'm Lulu but it's

You know you make me want to
DRINK
Look my heart's thumping
DRINK
Throw my head back
DRINK
YEAH YEAH YEAH

I have a bag of inedible Anjous. She's welcome.

It's a slog, isn't it. Just shows how pervasive side effects can be for some of us. Leech into everything. And it's hard to ask for accommodations: "oh don't worry it's just me comin off muh drugs this week"
🤡

Clear a space of time. No commitments/having to 'perform' for others. Prep for feeling pretty bad (but remember it's going to be a phase and can be got through). Call in your support person/people. Take time from work if needed. ? x

I did ride it out. It was very hard without support, being alone. I think I did it by making it THE project. Perhaps that approach might work for you?

It's crazy isn't it, when we're forced into a loop like this? I've never had a GP who took side effects seriously enough. Don't think they can understand if it hasn't happened to them.

Are the brain-zaps really bad? I've been through that, so, lots of sympathy.

‘I see your mouth blowing device and I raise you …’ It’s been magic to have sax god Terry Edwards support on the half the tour, true greatness. Thanks to Sunderland for turning up last night, loved it. You have a great venue there at Pop Recs … top schtuff !

The Raincoats

The geese are playing hiss-chase across the pond. Turning the black water to silver.

You're going to have to bicarb yourself.

Oof, Hebden Bridge was a rocker last night ! Danke for all coming out and to the Trades for looking after us so well. Was our last show with Thomas Truax supporting, gawd bless him and his superior mouth blowing device! Onwards to Edinburgh tonight where we play Voodoo Rooms

Had to cut through the farmer's market to get to Greggs.

It's called Received Pronunciation because if people were allowed to pick their own vowels those probably wouldn't be the ones they'd go for

It's like a massive old kitchen radio. Lovely.

Bra over the t-shirt.

And in the middle of so much anguish, in leaps oblivious Clive James in his sweaty shirt with a tango of rescue.
I love this book.

Turning twenty eight pieces of damp washing.
