I know what we mean about what Sir Elton had to say about t'Internet... I would not be without it, and then again, there are some things that oughtn't to be around and about... x<br /> <br />Midlife, menopause, mistakes and random stuff: Truly said, my dahlink! <br /> "Be who you are<br /> And way what you feel<br /> Those who mind don't matter<br /> Those who matter don't mind"<br /> ~~~~Dr. Suess<br /> <br />I love it, thank you so much, darling Reggie Girl! xxx<br /><br />Lizspin: Me, but I need my shoes and socks off to count up to 10, so can you just hold on while I strip off, Spin-Ster?! xxx <br /> <br />Maternal Tales: Same for you, as with dear Liz, if you can just hang on a mo' - I've just got one shoe off, and I'm standing like a stork in the middle of the living room! xxx<br /><br />I am exactly like you with my mobile 'phone - I have a good memory for 'phone numbers generally, but once they're typed in to my 'phone that's it, I forget 'em! It's frightening when we think how we used to be, dear MatTa! x<br /><br />Derrick: You are you and you are very unique, my dear Derrick! <br /><br />Gennasus: True words, my friend! And thank you so much for them! And I think it was Jarvis from quite a while ago, too... ;)<br /><br />kapgaf: I didn't know that, I have only seen the clip from the documentary that has Antony on it... And Nick Cave is lovely, but I've never really investigated his music, I must be ashamed to admit, kapgaf... Do you like Nick Drake, as I sometimes feel Nick Cave channels a little of the lovely, but sadly late, Nick... And I am not afraid to talk to people in the street, unless they might think I am barking mad, but I sometimes have to force myself to be a social and sociable being with people I don't know well, but I am always myself - Always Quixotic, and as you said, hedoniste! xox<br /><br />Alicia @ boylerpf: And, we are fabulous, non??!! xo<br /><br />Bloggus: You are very 'short and sweet', I don't know about short in reality, my sweet Bloggus! I am sorry you have had ups and downs, my Bloggus - If I had my magic faerie wand I would wave it over you noon and night, you betcha! xxooxx<br /><br />French Fancy: Does he still live in la belle France, I wonder? x<br /><br />Suldog: He was an incredible man, Suldog - I used to work with a lovely arty guy who looked him up in New York, and they had visited him in his apartment... They found him eccentric and wonderful... Just as they had expected!<br /><br />Expat mum: And we don't have to follow fashion to be us, as long as we feel it, we can be as stylish and beautiful as we are, non?! xox<br /><br />carma: I wholly and ununtterably agree, my brave Carma! x<br /><br />Lola: Love you, Lola! ma petite macaron - That, and the macaron, are just so, so, so sweet, my belle! xox<br /> <br />Bee and Rose: Thank you for what you are doing to make a difference in your children's lives, dear Bees and Roses! x<br /><br />lakeviewer: So well said, as you do everything that you do, dear Rosaria - You are wonderful and you are you, and you influence so many so beautifully, thank you...<br /><br />I lost your little heart with the scary delete button, sorry, Braja! xox<br /><br />Rob-bear: And never truer words were said, my dear, darling, not-Sir - Rob-bear! x<br /><br />Carolina: Very true, and very beautiful thoughts, darling, sweet Caro!

I'm no longer afraid to do it for what I believe in but it took me many years. Ironically, I am now less eccentric than I was.<br /><br />The confidence to talk to strangers in the street is sometimes lacking but being able to do it over the internet helps break down barriers.<br /><br />Bises tout plein.kapgafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472235272953469113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570655052849048780.post-66909279732610892262009-05-13T13:22:00.000+01:002009-05-13T13:22:00.000+01:00Ah, the fantabulous Jarvis.

There's no doubt that he's always walked to the beat of his own drum and, as far as I'm concerned, he can do no wrong.<br /><br />I was wondering when this video was made?

Silly isn't it?? Same as a mobile phone (which incidentally I lost yesterday) and was in a huge panic for about 3 hours. My children were playing at a friend's house and I didn't even know the phone number where they were because it was in my phone. I found it eventually, but it did make me wonder whether we rely on technology to much (we do...) xMaternal Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075679022964297682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570655052849048780.post-37603776625578393982009-05-13T11:46:00.000+01:002009-05-13T11:46:00.000+01:00I'm standing up!
