the way of it 15 May 2010
Here’s the way of it right now – I promised a proper ‘life blog’ yesterday and had a great story to tell that I asked Richard to remind me of (something to do with FAR AND AWAY the movie) but between one thing and another it has disappeared into the mists of last night and refuses to be recalled. I may have some sort of brainfart later that casts it up and, if I do, ye’ll be the first to hear it. It is so indicative of my life now – I cannot seem to retain much of ordinary events, just living. And since I delivered the proofread novel I can feel the Black Dog stalking again…so, I have too much time to think, but cannot seem to hang on to any of the ideas except the bad ones. I keep waiting for the sky to fall…This year is an odd one, and I know I’m not the only one to feel that – it seems to be a very general malaise for many that I know or meet.
Am having a low fat hot chocolate in Waverley station, Edinburgh, waiting for my train to Aberdeen and trying to get a bit happy again. Actually, talking to the good folk of the Granite City should help and it’ll keep me on the move…
