join the road: November 2007
http://jointheroad.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2007. I await the sound of your footsteps with jittery excitement. First I hear the faint, reverberating echo of the metal steps being ascended, and then the hollow clack of your flat shoes across my rooftop garden. I then listen for the final soft swoosh of the door opening before your voice bursts my senses. Always. Links to this post. Monday, November 19, 2007. You never lose the childhood wonder of snow. You remember that first morning view from your bedroom window, the la...

join the road: May 2007
http://jointheroad.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 11, 2007. When it's constant and steady, as it has been here for a few hours, those circles seem to become a repeating loop that could last forever. If you watch them long enough you feel you might discern the point at which the patterns begins, as you're otherwise mesmerised as each expanding circumference is swallowed up by another. Sometimes it feels so metronomic that you imagine it might never end. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why do are only the big things important?

join the road: July 2007

Thursday, July 19, 2007. My whole being jiggles imperceptibly in a lovely shuffle, tuned to the rays of light peeping around the curtain's edges - warm tendrils caressing me awake. The most tender part of the day. Eyes accustoming themselves to the light, heartbeat increasing oh so slightly at the brush of movement alongside me. It lasts for such a short precious time. The alarm always intrudes. Most people's alarm clocks wake them up, but ours is a last minute warning of impending reality, and t...

Tuesday, May 27, 2008. If all of this activity has a soundtrack, I am oblivious to it, hearing only the sound of blood rushing in my head, and still the rustling of my hair. Links to this post.

join the road: June 2008
http://jointheroad.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. Reprinted here from Karen McVeigh's piece in the Guardian. Cheered me up no end:. The son of an elderly widower who could not find a drinking buddy has provided him with two new companions after advertising the post at a rate of £7 an hour, plus expenses. When he moved from a flat to a care home 20 miles from his old stomping ground of Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire, Jack Hammond, 88, a radar technician during the second world war, struggled to find someone suitable to have a beer with.

Thursday, February 17, 2011. Villette read-a-long week 2 : Stranger in a Strange Land. With thanks to Wallace at unputdownables.net. This week's chapters seem to be all about differences: differences in social status, differences in language, and differences in culture. She explores those differences with their petty contrivances and hollow conventions. Instead, I am finding that Lucy is using her wits to find a new world based on compassion, intelligence and humanity. Links to this post. I'm participati...

join the road: September 2007
http://jointheroad.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 14, 2007. Just a few short weeks ago this was the view I had. Nearly 3,500 feet above sea level here I stood, gentle tendrils of cloud hanging in the damp air. How tempting was it to stand with my arms outstretched, feet on tiptoe, as if my body had to somehow attempt to outwardly portray the exhilaration I felt within. I settled for a very big grin, wide as the view. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why do are only the big things important? View my complete profile.

Paul, with whom Charlotte fell in (unrequited) love during her spell in Brussels. Not how I imagined M. Paul to look from reading the book.). Wherever they go, we follow, as ever, mesmerised. M Paul is too much of a bully for me to really warm up to him and Im sorry for this. Did Charlotte really wanted us to like him, you think? March 17, 2011 9:36 PM. March 18, 2011 12:18 AM. Ive n...
