Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do?

Piece of Me #72: Hilair
You only need to watch the first 45 seconds of this and you'll (probably) rate it up there with your all time favourite reality TV moments.
I genuinely didn't think a Strictly contestant could beat Anne Widdecombe's magical moves which graced the dancefloor last year - but Russ, I think you topped it!
Russel Grant + human cannon + canary yellow shirt = comedy gold...

Piece of Me #69: Perry
I'm thinking of including Perry the Platypus on my current job applications.
I reckon he'd impress potential future employers.
No?

Piece of Me #68: We will remember them...
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Piece of Me #64: Pinch Yourself
Sometimes you have to pinch yourself to appreciate the beauty of what's right in front of your eyes. All too often we crave an escape to an undiscovered place when things get too much.
Looking out the window, I realised the comfort of these surroundings is all I need right now.
Hollis HQ, I salute your autumnal charm.

Piece of Me #63: Pitmen Painters
Maybe it was the Newcastle nostalgia.
Or perhaps the heartwarming humour and history.
Whatever swung it for me, Pitmen Painters is by the far one of the best plays I've seen in a long, long time. Featuring the original works of a group of infamous Geordie miners, its actors provoked endearment, ethos, and emotion in equal measures.
And not only that, their works weren't half bad either... (see below...)
Driven by a "hunger for self improvement" the protagonists in this Tyneside tale left a powerful legacy, reminding us that whatever social barriers we might face, we all have the ability to break the mould and achieve something more.
Catch Pitmen Painters at the Duchess Theatre, WC2...
Piece of Me #62
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again...
So, I flew the nest, and now I've flown right back again.
It's been a bit of a 360 degree turn.
Like when you had to draw a circle in GCSE maths using a compass (I kind of miss those trivial tasks) and the smudged line from your almost blunt pencil re-traces the exact point that you started from.
Back to the drawing board, my canvas is once again well and truly blank.
I guess I'm just longing to feel settled and to know what's around the corner.
And then I remind myself... where's the fun in that?
