Thoughts not Food

I've been quiet with this. The main reason being that I've been in a mostly introspective, and frankly quite negative frame of mind recently, and whatever I wrote on here would have been exactly that, negative, introspective and probably self-pitying. No! We'll have none of that. 

Spring is squeezing its way through the cold and dark and I certainly feel a bit more bouncy. 

Right, a note on music. I put on 'Stars of the Lid' while me and John were eating tea the other night. I said that, to me, the music sounded 'big' and when I listen to it I try and imagine things that are big, to fit the music - for example, mountains. So I think about travelling slowly across the biggest mountain range in the world, but, the mountains still aren't big enough. So, what is bigger than mountains? The sea.... so I imagine travelling through the darkest caverns of the sea....and still, it isn't big enough. So, nothing on the Earth is big enough for the music so I think about the expanse of Space. It fits space, but then I stop because space is too big to imagine. I ask John what he things and he looks puzzled at my explanation. He puts his hand on my arm as if to say 'You are 'gifted' aren't you'. I take up another forkful of tea, and it's gone cold. 

Anyway, listen to Stars of the Lid, they're cool.
