13 unlucky for some but not for me! I have always liked the number 13 it is a prime number and I saw a black cat today that reminded me of our old cat Sooty. I loved Sooty, on reflection I think she may have been deaf. I had another cat called Christmas (yes) who I must admit I loved more, we were close.
I feel totally relieved after splurging on about money last week. That's it i'm done for a bit now, I made the tip jar which is there for people to use as they wish. Other than that I'll keep writing, because I love writing and that's it.
Oh there is so much in my head today because I am writing CRAZY TALK (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT WASN'T IN CAPITALS!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING), before my newsletter. So this is new and crazy and my mind is filled with wiggly worms and curly wurlies, wazooooooo.
Yes, money, great thank you done for now. I do have a monthly paid subscriber to announce though!! My Mum and Dad! Thank you Louise & Dave for joining this elite club, you have always always been my biggest fans. I have received one other donation too from someone who isn't a blood relative or a friend! Thank you, it really does feel wonderful.
What I realised in writing about money was that Money is important, yes, but also this newsletter is about so much for me. It is my Playground, it is my Story and it is my Creative Outlet. So yes maybe one day I am a paid proper writer, but now, it's cool because writing creates three billion opportunities for me always.
I went foraging the other day which was honestly brilliant, there is so much informationĀ in the earth and honestly, we actually have enough under our feet. I see the plants differently now I have spent 4 hours foraging. Also I found quite a big pig nut and the instructor was impressed which I was happy about because I have always been a teachers pet in a subtle way that my mates wouldn't take the piss out of me for :)) clever sausage.
LORD OF THE RINGS! Honestly so good, all the characters are different parts of me and reading is therapy. Yes, that is why i read, because reading helps me make sense of myself and the world around me!! doh, and writing too, the same. I think because I am an only child, or was one, I make sense of the world through things and objects and books and play, whereas maybe not so much through other people and talking and dialogue. Wow, revelation.
This time next week I will be writing this in Lisbon and wow that is crazy, it will be hot and it will be in Portugal. I am done I think now head is like a bottle of wine that pours crazy words into this carafe or craziness and i don't think there is any wine left and also need enough wine for the newsletter on burnout I am about to write!
