New Home (again) and Ghosties!!! or lack thereof...

Hi!!!
I've moved into my new home, I'm finally settled into somewhere that I am going to live for a whole year - for definate!! YAY! 
It's a nice feeling. I'm starting to feel like it's my home now, I just need to meet a few more people from the area and I'll be sorted. I've met 2 of my neighbours and they are really friendly too. :-)
I also need a sofa.... sitting on the floor is fine, but after a week or so a sofa is seeming like a really attractive item of furniture to have!!
Anyways... here's a little video about ghosts... and the ones that I definately DON'T have in my flat....

Sweet dreams!!!

(I love how it looks like how I've got my finger up my nose in the video still... wonderful!)

The move is imminent!!

Hellooooo! I know, I know, it's been over a month, I'm rubbish and I haven't had a chance to really write here for ages. I am however moving house at the end of the week!! I'm so excited!! My own place! This is the first time I've lived on my own, somewhere that I have chosen. YAY!
I only hope that my friends don't forget about me when I'm living in a new town... :-) I'm sure that the ones that count will stay in touch. 
I'm gonna miss little Merlin and Ozzie too... nawww little kittycats. They're so naughty and cute.
So a lot of my thoughts have been filled up with moving home (again) the last month. I've been reading lots too, I'm nearly finished with the millenium trilogy. Lisbeth Salander is my current heroine. I want to watch the films when I've finished the books. :-) I was a bit disapointed that Mikael Blomkvist wasn't so attractive in the films as he was in my head hahaha!
Anyways, I've got lots to organise with work and with moving, I'll hopefully blog a little bit more when I've got more time.

Music and Love

Love

I've not felt great, physically, the past week. I'm feeling better now, but i've struggled with my energy levels. I've spoken and spent time with lots of people lately too. I've been writing, creatively I feel in a good place. Work is cool, it's starting to feel like "work home" now... that's quite important.
I feel quite subdued today, and I've been pondering *Love* a lot lately too. As in what is it? Why does it happen? Where do we find it? Why is it that it comes and goes? Why do we find glimmers of it in unexpected places? How do you ever *know*? 
Because people say that, "When you meet them, you'll know"... but do you really? And is that when you first meet them? Or does that happen over time? And what if you never know? Or what if you *think* you know... but you don't really? 
All I know, is that I have people that I care about, and I will hold on to that as tightly as I can... perhaps one day I'll know too.

Love and warm thoughts ...

"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
