You know, I think I don’t write much in here anymore as I’m so happy. Perhaps I really need to be miserable to tap into my creative powers?!
Went to Pride on Saturday; for this being the capital city (and a very gay one, too, I must add) of a teeny tiny country (that feels bigger every year I live here), it was slightly….crap. Not the day. The young people I marched with were fantastic. If you happen to be gay and get a certain newspaper, you’ll probably see pictures of them on the front page. But the parade itself – what a shambles of organisational attempts. They should put me in charge next year.
All you need is a motherfucking megaphone and a take charge attitude – once I buy the megaphone I will be ready to roll. I spent much of the parade getting sunburnt and avoiding eye contact with the crowd, as I had a slight fear ex-clients would see me. I needn’t have worried, though, because the day concluded with a surprise meeting with my ex-boss’ boss’ boss….and her partner. Nice.
This isn’t an entry with a point. I’m not sure many are, but this is really just the equivalent of doodling on a notepad while you chat on the phone.
It’s rainy today. My new office is full of wonderful windows for the rain to fall against. We also always leave the lights off because we care about the climate, so all that’s missing from this morning is a duvet and some trashy tv.
