London 1999-2001
I arrived in the UK the second time, from Australia via a month or so in America visiting my best friend Braden in and around Seattle in October 1999 with the plan to head down to Cornwall and find work. I only got as far as Torquay where I found a really cool backbackers and spent a couple of nice weeks there idly looking for work .. it was run by a really friendly lady.. i forget her name

bit of a loose end
I had a busy end of the year as usual, lots of driving around, presents, tidying things up. On the monday before christmas i could finally relax at home alone when i felt a little pain in my chest and then decided to lie down and soon felt my heart racing and i felt i was going to pass out.

New eclipse of the heart
I forgot to wake up for the eclipse this morning. Well it was only a tiny sliver of an eclipse in Australia. The pictures from New Zealand are great, it rose in an already eclipsed state—how great's that! Most of the time it was over the southern ocean below NZ and Australia. The blood moon of two weeks ago i did get up for at about 4am but it was behind cloud. But i feel like i felt it...

New post: My current take on things
( I really should be writing things on substack or medium or one of those other places. but i'm happy in my old website).

The slow pull
Feeling a bit light this evening so i think i can talk about it.. the slow pull.

Maybe it is just the advancing years, the lengthening shadows. The dough, folded and folded again, to make a millefeuille. The complexifying of every little thing and yet -- an increasing vagueness, a thinning out, a diminishing opacity. The memories like little distant dots. The grand schemes and structures of youth surrounding me l

What happened at Twitt
In around 2009 I started a twitter account to get what seemed a direct line to gossip coming out of parliament house. In those days there didn't seem to be any trolls. But it quickly got sordid. Soon i had my first exposure to what is really a kind of psychological warfare using images and every kind of harmful slur and mind game, intended to just break you down.
