Nonsensicle Sunday babble...

So it is Sunday. I have had to work today, put on a workshop for the Breeze International Youth Festival to promote the Breeze Youth Promise with my Breeze kids, sorry young people!!! Despite it being a Sunday and having to work it hasnt been that bad, I enjoyed it, it was fun. I would like to say they keep me young but they don't!

I am feeling rather tired to say the least. My neighbours had a rocking party last night and between that, the heat and Seans phone ringing at 1.20am I was kept awake for some hours. Having 'Thriller' echoing down the street at 1am in the morning was something I would have prefered not to hear! Anyway no harm done and we are culprits of that behaviour at times.

I am sprawled on my sofa, breathing in the BBQ smlells drifting in the open window from somewhere down the street and doing some reading up for work and prep for the week ahead. I trying to swat up on the trends of teens in social media. I am also attendin Shift Happens 2.0 at the Pilot Theatre in York. As you have probably guessed it is all about social media in the art world. Should be interesting, am keeping my fingers crossed it is.

I have recently induldge myself (rather childishly) in the Twilight books - am sure they are targetted at teenagers, but the way I see it is I am just trying to keep up with what the kids are into at the moment!! Anyway I reckon I will head for a bath shortly and find out what Bella and Edward are up to at the moment.

Oh and the biggest news of the week... we picked up my beautiful beautiful new mini (so lovely) and I started my driving lessons. Roll on the day I pass my test.

Anyway enough of this nonsensicle Sunday babble. Will catch up with you all later.

Peace n love

RIP Paul Christopher Mayhew

Today I attended my friend and colleagues funeral, Paul Mayhew. He was 31 when he collapsed after a night out and still we dont know why.

It was a very emotional funeral at St Aidans church, Roundhay Road Leeds. It is a large church and it was packed - as you would expect with someone so young. It was a lovely service and prompted fond memories of Paul.

Paul and I were once very close and were good friends, what actually happened and why we didn't stay like that I am not entirely sure, I think we drifted. Looking back and in light of current circumstances I wish we hadn't. Paul was such a lovely, happy, friendly person with a big heart and an even bigger simle.

I just wanted to say that despite not being as close as we use to I will miss you deeply Paul. Work is not the same without you and I expect to see you about all the time. You will be missed by many. My heart goes out to your family in this sad time.

May you rest in peace, xxx

First post

I am not sure why I have started this blog I am just feeling the need to share. I don't feel I have anything dazzling to say, nothing that will be outstandingly profound, nothing that will make people sit up and really listen. Like I said I just feel like sharing.

When I was young I use to keep a diary and I enjoyed writing thoughts, observations and opinions in it so why not try it again... but in line with the twenty-first century!!
