Spent most of yesterday outside, painting, freezing cold, dodging the rain & hogging the few bits of sunshine (a lot more of this is planned for next week as well!!!). I know a lot of people really love the autumn & the changing of the seasons, but I’m not one of those people… I love the summer, the warmth, the sunshine & the light nights. Everything else is simply not good enough I’m afraid. And this is the main reason why…
I don’t know for definite on this, but I imagine that when most people try and visualise the year in their mind, they probably see the year much like a conventional calendar, with all the months neatly blocked out in a line (I’m only guessing here???). Mine, as you can see, is a little different and this is how I’ve always pictured the year from as early as I can remember. My year begins with a downward (dark, rainy, cold, depressing) journey from January to mid April and from there I begin to climb (lighter nights & a little warmer) up into summer & July/August. My time on the ‘summit’ continues until about the first week in September (about now then really!!!), when I begin my cold & dark downward journey once more 🙁
I know this is all a little weird, but that’s how my brain works!!! So before I leave my summery summit and say roll on April, I’ll leave you with a picture and a jolly tune 🙂
Just as you take my hand Just as you write my number down Just as the drinks arrive Just as they play your favourite song As your bad day disappears No longer wound up like a spring Before you've had too much Come back in focus again
The walls are bending shape You got a cheshire cat grin All blurring into one This place is on a mission
Before the night owl Before the animal noises Closed circuit cameras Before you comatose
Before you run away from me Before you're lost between the notes The beat goes round and round The beat goes round and round
I never really got there I just pretended that I had Words are blunt instruments Words are sawn off shotguns
Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Come on and let it out
Before you run away from me Before your lost between the notes Just as you take the mic Just as you dance, dance, dance
A Jigsaw falling into place So there is nothing to explain You eye each other as you pass She looks back and you look back Not just once and not just twice Wish away your nightmare Wish away the nightmare You got the light you can feel it on your back [A light,] you can feel it on your back Your jigsaw falling into place...
