If only it was tangerine dream… it’s far more ‘hippy’ than that!

Let me guess, Tangerine Dream? Glad to hear about the filter, and I’m off to have a look right now.

The Sparkly incident certainly sounds ‘interesting’! Josina would probably suggest I’ve got some music that would have fitted the episode perfectly…

I have had a go with the filter (see Flickr) and it works very well, so thanks to you and Gillian, it will be put to good use.

Best Wishes, Paul.

It must have been quite a lot to take in all at once like that. I think it would make anyone feel bleak. But the point of the blog is to stop me feeling bleak, and to make me feel better, and it works really well.

The sparkliness was really weird. I almost miss it. I was on a complete high for 24 hours, and it was great. Unfortunately, it stopped being great. I hoped that by writing about it I might be able to remember what the great parts were like. And someone else might be able to identify what was happening to them too, if they ever read this.

Trivia? Hmm. I’ll see what I can do. But I’m no Barry Cryer, nor any Paul Merton.

Afternoon Christopher
Well it’s Sunday now and I’ve read through your blog a couple of times. I love what you’re writing, but hate what you’re writing about (not in a badly negative way, but I think you’ll understand). I felt a bit bleak yesterday, because I hadn’t ‘got it’ yet, but reading today I can see what you’re doing. It’s always good to write stuff down and I admire your ability to share experiences. ‘Sparkly’ reminds me of a night out in the 90s! Not drugs (really) just a dose of Benylin and a Holsten Pils too far!
I bet it helps to get it out there and I will keep reading and commenting. Don’t worry if I’m ever bitchy – you know me well enough by now. I am SO classy – I went to a musical last night in DARTFORD (yes, really) based on the songs of TAKE THAT (omg, really!) with lots of lovely(?) people from work! Jealous yet? Mind you I laughed so much at one point I nearly wet myself.
Please write a bit more trivia for me ie. Just a Minute or I’m Sorry I haven’t a clue or Archers or Eastenders. Ta very much.
Bossy old bag ain’t I?
Love ya
Soph Xx

The entry does exist in hand-written form, and is, as you say, colourful.

Far out, man!

Glad you’ve got that sorted – wondered why you hadn’t blogged for a while, but I guess the entry might have been … colourful?

All the best, David.
