"When God was a Rabbit" *

I stood outside yesterday and a white feather fell into my hand, it's the second time in my life that's happened. It was gone as quickly as it appeared, but it made me smile.
I felt a lot yesterday, but not overwhelmed, I felt calm, contented while I sat outside, I felt happy for every positive encounter and connection I've made, and simultaneously sad for every loss, the outcome was that I was quiet, thoughtful... but contented.

I drank too much the night before, but it was with four beautiful girls who I'm sad I won't be working with anymore, however, I know we'll stay in touch if we need each other still.
My head was sore when I woke up, and I then probably drank too much coffee, but I felt good sat in the sun, I finished reading my book that I've struggled to enjoy until the last quarter, and now I've finished it, I loved it.
Occasionally the grass seeds were knocked by the wind and shook fairies dancing into the air. A butterfly sat on the fence for around an hour. I felt connected, part of the earth, mortal, alive.
I breathed deep, there weren't any strong smells, I could feel the earth through my bare feet, I was grounded. 
I was tired, I was hungry, I was happy.


*When God was a Rabbit - the book I finished yesterday, I highly recommend it.

New job, gigs and the RIAT!

I've not had time to make a new video!! Booo! There's just been too much going on. I spent last weekend (my whole one day off) at the Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, which was really cool as I hadn't been for quite a few years. My dad taught me a few interesting things about some aeroplanes too. hahaha! I loved watching the red arrows and the ticolore display team, as well as seeing the tornado and vulcan. - I could get a bit nerdy about planes I think... Oh dear.

My friends band were playing too, so obviously we watched them play - didn't watch Alexandra Burke though... although I did see her dancers briefly.. but I wasn't overly impressed!
The evening before that I played an acoustic set with my friend, at a party in a garden, that was really good fun, even though it was absolutely freeeeeeezing!!! It was very windy, but I really enjoyed playing. It was the first time I'd played a gig in 11 months, I was a little bit nervous but it went well! I think we're going to play a gig again in the next couple of weeks, yay! We played again at the local open mic night on wednesday too. That was a good night, loads of people out, and lots of musicians too. Very funny indeed. 
On Monday I started my new job in Cheltenham. It's going ok, lots of things to learn, but I'm getting the hang of everything. All of my staff are lovely too, which is awesome. :-) Now I just need to start looking for a flat!
Anyways, it's sunny outside, and I need to be out in it...
I'll be making a new video as soon as I have some time... hahaha...
Love and sunshine x x

What do you have in common with me?

Hey,

I might be getting into this whole making video blogs... although it may just be a phase. I might get over it too :-)

Today I've been thinking about the fact that every human being can have something in common with every other human being on the planet. There is no reason to think that you can't get on with someone else.

You just have to find that common ground. The great thing about that is, once you have found that common ground you can then start to learn about all the other things that makes that person interesting and unique, and maybe you'll find out about other new things that you like too.

I find it fascinating, the world is an infinite source of new things to learn or explore. And getting to know someone new is a really cool way of doing that! So don't judge someone before you've even spoken to them, just because you know they like something that maybe you don't, they might open your eyes to something else really amazing that you've never heard of before. :-)

Happy Exploring x x

Things that I like at the moment...

I was going to write a blog about things that I like at the moment, but I actually just made a video blog... so I'm going to put that up here now instead. 

Be warned, it is just me rambling... mainly about the cats. 

I will also say that the other things I do like at the moment/in the last few days are....

1. Having a tan

2. Not having work until next week

3. Having spent 4 days on the beach

4. Reading... everything

5. People trying to talk to me in Spanish or German before trying English.

6. Eating oranges

7. Drinking Mojitos

8. Making a vlog

9. Blue Skies.... although there hasn't been much sign of that since I got back

10. Being chilled out

:-)

Anyway

I hope you liked my video, even if you thought it was silly, I hope at least it made you smile.

Love and sunshine
