3月26日 yes boss no boss
3月19日 Beware The Day of First(But Totally False) Impressions
3月15日 Mag's and Angie's Birthday Bash
3月13日 With Apologies to Paul and Art....I searched for my old love out on the streets last night
She was so glad I didnt find her-She just smiled
So we never got to talk about some old times
or drink ourselves some beer
Still Crazy... after all these years
Well Im the kind of girl who likes to socialise
You wont catch me leaning on old familiar ways..
Yes Im the fool for love songs
that keep whispering in my ear
Still Crazy ...after all these years
Four in the morning
Crapped out, yawning
Longing my life a--way
I always worry
but why
should I?
Its all gonna... fade
Now I sit by my window and I watch the stars
fearing damage will be done one day
But who will be convicted, through the jury of my tears?
Still Crazy after all these years
STILL ..crazy...after all these years.

3月10日 Teddy Bears' Picnic Revisited
3月5日 So Where DOES one go To Purchase a Lion? Hello Everbody!
Today is my official First Year Anniversary here on Spaces.
I feel emotional I dont mind telling you.
This past year has seen my personal life go though somewhat of a Roller Coaster.
Being on Spaces however, has been one of thee most happiest times I have had the pleasure of experiencing, in all the years i have had an internet connection.
Im borrowing an Idea from a friend of mine here on spaces (i hope he wont mind)
So during the month of march, i am going to re-publish, some of my personal favourite blogs, that I published, during my first year here.
I would like to begin with a blog that I published in May 2007. I reviewed an essay which was written one Saturday in one of our National Newspapers.
This is a true story, and I still get shivers every time I think about it...I hope you will agree that it well worth revisiting.

where does one go to purchase a lion?
those of you who know me even a little will know, that i am a dreamer....i got to say it exasparates the hell out of some people, but hey? i'm not a monster, i'm not abusive, and i'm nae criminal..i can do serious stuff, at a push..but no very often! ;p ..erm?..right well moving on, i was gonna review something i read in the newspapers at the weekend!...and this (true) story really captured my imagination. so where does one go..to buy a Lion Cub huh?...im talking a real live little baby lion cub...(now im talking about Britain here) well...i have been informed, that back in the summer of '69.. a certain London store called Harrod's had an exotic animals department..(well i never?) This tail..(tail?? no this is a true story) was narrated, by one gent..who explained that he had a lady friend, who one day visited the said exoctic animal department, and rather grandly enquired if she could purchase a camel? ...the assistant cooly replied.."one hump or two?" suitably impressed by this tail..no tale..our narrator and a pal of his went along to see for themselves, and were astounded to see a cage..with a little lion cub in it. they decided between themselves that this would never do?..and they asked the assistant? how much for the lion cub? now at this point if your wondering how harrods department store got hold of a lion cub? yes its a good question, and apparantly they procured him, from a zoo.. someone there must have had some kind of sense of humour, because they christened the Lion..Christian..(geddit?) The assistant duly sold the Lion cub to our narrator and friend for the sum of 250 guineas... Our narrator owned a furniture shop on the Kings Road in London...and if you had walked past that store on a Sunday, in the year of 1969, and pressed your nose to the glass window..you would have been rewarded with the sight of seeing Christian the baby Lion cub...luxuriating on a chaise lounge...while his owner was doing the accounting. our narrator made much of the fact that he doubts that Harrods would take quite such a cavalier attitude to the sale of such animals these days..and he also is of the opinion that the local authorities would most likely also take a dim view but he said that back then "nobody minded" he added that Harrods did send them home with a proper diet sheet..for advice on feeding and nutrition..apparantly it cost around £30 a week to feed him ("a lot of money back in those days") and for his excercise? our enteprising narrator.. approched a local vicar...and permission was sought and granted..for the lion cub to have the run of the graveyard...where they played football with him!... in all, Christian stayed in London for a year..growing from 35lbs in weight to an imposing 185lbs..during that time...and he was maturing and beginning to grow a mane. In the end Christians future was sealed by chance, when two actors came into the store to buy a pine desk These two actors had both starred in the film called Born Free, which told the true story of George Adamson and his wife Joy..who raised a lion cub called elsa, in Kenya..and then rehabilitated her into the wild. the actors suggested, that george adamson might be able to help. George was certainly intrigued by the challange of introducing a Kings road Lion, into the wilds, but he had to warn, that it might not be sucsessful, owing to the fact that Christian was british born not to mention so urbane ... and he was also born to parents who had also been held in captivity i rather fear this tail tale has ran long enough...but george flew christian out to kenya...and along with a Lion who came from the set of Born Free...george sucsessfully initiated a new Pride on his wild life reservation. how amazing is that??? about a year after the pride was fully established, our narrator and his friend wanted to go out to Kenya to say a formal goodbye to Christian george explained to him, that the pride had not been anywhere near base camp, for much of that year. so our man said he would come over anyway to meet with george when the narrator..arrived at the reservation base camp area..george greeted him and said that christian..was waiting for him...sitting on his favourite rock our narrator came out of the base camp and he said that Christian was looking at him and his pal very intently...then he got off of the rock..recognition on his face..and he bounded towards the two of them..knocking them both onto their backs..and he placed a huge paw on each of their shoulders the narrator said everyone was crying-even Christian was nearly crying said our man. a party ensued at base.. and christian remained for the jollies..(and though our man didnt actually put this in print..i think christian even snuck in a whisky or two..) Christian's two females were less than impressed... from some distance away away...and when Christian finally lopped off to rejoin them...they was growling and spitting..but Christian gave each of them a cuff...and then collapsed. And that was the very last ever sighting of Christian... the Lion who once lived in Chelsea! mags x following the publication of my blog, a friend of mine from spaces, Richard aka Alien Hunter, gave me this link

 BUT theres something i want to tell yous all first. Did you all see how hard I tried to win myself a valentine this year Huh? ...only for it to end up with ME being mown down by a TRUCK! <ahem> and then on February 29th I went around dropping Hints the size of BOULDERS .... about this being a leap year and all? - I didnt manage to strike it lucky there either. (oh well apart from one friend who said he was game.. (thank you  ) and another friend who said "well only if you are desperate!" )  So after ALL that... how do you think I felt, when My 19year old son Came home yesterday, after spending the weekend at his Grans
I happened to make a passing remark, about the state of play with his love life (its a mothers duty to keep a weather eye on these things ye know? <ahem?> So he turns round and he says to me.."I got TWO marraige proposals on Friday" TWO????!!  One of them came from a young woman he works with, and the other came via a text message from one of His female friends *He showed me the text message on His phone... I nearly fainted. I said to him..."yeah well son, its all a bit of fun eh?" and he replied "Ive accepted both proposals!" Anything to get out of buying two pairs of gloves eh? ... Well son, ye only did what I would have done as well <aHEM> ....(just a little wry humour there!  )mags x p.s. now dont all go throwin any rocks at me after all the flirting i did in february... but perhaps i should mention this right now Its My Wedding Anniversary today YAAAAAY 24 years today. and who said it wouldnt last?
