Melancholy music

The captured soul sings a song of freedom.

It sails, over the breeze, through seething misery;

to a moment of reason, exploding in to fears' fire.

Down fall the blooming petals of relief;

beyond barren soils of sorrow.

Wonder dissolving in rancid rains of pain.

Beauty extinguished by the tortured heat of hurt.

3 Boys in London 2011

Laughing, boisterous, blinding fun in the sun, rain and hustle of London town (and Highgate).

All in all a fabulous little trip darn sarf!

My feeding tale for World Breastfeeding Week

Seamus' first breastfeed in NICU (I had to hide behind my family to let him feed, the doctors didn't want him to drink anything)

Family support (essential to breastfeeding success).

I breastfed Seamus until her was 2, he remembers how wonderful it was. I remember how exhausting but rewarding it is. I am proud of myself for giving him a shot at a normal beginning.

Song of the Day 8-11-09: Sleep the Clock Around by Belle & Sebastian

The rhythm of my car these days. My car that has driven me 80,000 miles in 8 years. I long to sleep the clock around.
