Says Kenny, fixing me with a very long, very serious look.
I have been hibernating, most of January. Not quite a recluse, yet definitely not taking part in any society highlife. I have, in truth, been in Bubble World.
And Bubble World is indeed a very very nice place to be, it is tranquil, peaceful, calm. Yet at the same time, unsurprisingly anti-social.
But January is indeed a maudlin month, non? We're all broke, or so I am, desperately counting pennies and rushing to Coinstar. Staying in with friends and DVD's, coffee at Bar Italia and the British Museum on weekends. The weather encourages us to stay inside, wrapped in fleeces and duvets, curled up with good books (my guilty pleasure this month, Nancy Mitford)Finding ways to pass the time.
Indeed on my birthday, which came and went without the usual fanfare and excitement turned out to be impromptu hot chocolates at Paul and the Henri Rousseau exhibition (because The Lovely had free tickets) and an evening stroll along the South Bank with the lovelies.
And so, walking along the Broadway with Kenny on Saturday night, I decided it was perhaps time to move out of Bubble World, return to socialising, shake off the January cobwebs and now I'm back to heels (albeit with a slight limp, physio starts tomorrow) maybe even date a bit, get the blog back on track.
Kenny, fixing me with a long serious stare...
*Ahhh, M... A date is for living, not just for blogging...*
I may have to rethink that angle then.

Wow. Are shitty starts just going around like a virus? The last few years have started crappy, this one being no exception and I'm just now letting Bubble World take over since the alternative was crying my eyes out.. and we all know that's no good for the non-waterproof mascara. Uh-uh.. But I'm happy for you. Go get 'em w/ gusto baby.. for the rest of us who are now limping along and will not be fully out of Bubble World for another couple of months. Don't let us hold you back.
And please.. dating isn't for blogging? Uh.. if it's not, how ever will we get all the juicy details? You better write it out..
Happy Birthday!
I live in Limbo Bubble Land and half done so for the past 7 months...my only respite is the odd short walk with my imaginary dogs!
What did you think of the Rousseau show?
happy birthday

i sleep all day. where's my energy?

I love Henri Rousseau. You Londoners are lucky people.
Bubbleworld is a nightclub. Why don't you join me? JOIN ME!
I think January has been Bubble month for everyone.... A phone call here, a phone call there but I haven't actually seen friends since before Christmas... Please get out and entertain those of us who aren't ready to leave the comfy bubble....
