Do you remember a guy that’s been In such an early song I’ve heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don’t say it’s true What a week. First Bowie then Professor Snape, the sorrow felt around the world. I HAD to go digging through my catalog of images to find one of our album wall…
Mercury Retrograde | Week 1
If you have read about this latest Mercury Retrograde then you know right now it is better to revisit, revise or reassess rather than start new things. In the all of that is welcomed during the period in which the planet Mercury crosses our skies appearing to spin backwards. If you want to dive a little…
Yes Girl
As I stood on the scale my mind wandered into resolution territory as it does every New Years Eve.
