double decker


oh crikey... not entirely sure i've had a deadline for ....ahhhhhhhh.... 40 years..? i suppose you could count printing t-shirts for portobello desperate to head down the kings of clerkenwell of a friday evening but frankly that got abandoned with alarming regularity and a desperately cavalier attitude to my (dire) financial state... but hell i said i'd be here and i'm here... phew...

this gene and debbe number came on on a shuffle and i was humming the lost sound of young leytonstone post loft very lovely sleeve wishing stones number almost but not quite in time /straight after... they make a lovely pair  

gene and debbe - playboy

wishing stones - beat girl

i can feel lost indie corner coming on

organazized



for a minute there a schedule an order (order! discipline! the trains don't run on time!) almost seemed like a plan... maybe a way to hope for some kind of immediacy some kind of hanging about and it went monday wednesday friday but then where would a torment tuesday go if a torment tuesday ever wanted to go somewhere... or a thelonious thursday for gawd's sake... so let's at least try and do something of a regular friday... i say let's i mean i'll try and do a something on a friday heck perhaps on other days but i shall try and order! discipline! a friday something... hopefully... so on the off chance you've got bugger all else to do pop round...

double decker


foul and infected and swollen and scabby and horrid... bugger... but marvelling between the groans and the cursing and the smothering in ointments and the gargling with burning fire at the sonic snuggling of the heartbreakiest heartbreaker and the yodeliest squacker... 

once upon a timea girl with moonlight in her eyesput her hand in mineand said she loved me so

peace is a united effort for co-ordinated control
peace is the will of the people and the will of the land
with peace we can move ahead
