The Test of Time.....

Time to blog again, (thanks for bearing with me and your kind comments/emails). My last two posts, comments etc etc were a wee bit dark and stressy to say the least. The family situation has calmed down somewhat. Although, I will admit I still can't get my head around it all (mixed emotions) and I did wobble there for a wee while. But as you all know "weebles wobble but they don't fall down". However, In future I'm going to segregate my real life (crappy bits, you'll still get the boring bits) from blog life. And never shall the twain meet. So from time to time, if and when real life gets a bit heavy here in TF Tower I'll just post up a testcard. Say, something like this. With the words "Normal Service will resume shortly"

(Hmmm, I wonder what happened to that little girl?) Did she grow up and survive the test of time. Or did she remain forever young?)


Methinks when crappy stuff happens in our lives we can deal with it in two ways either in a negative or in a positive way. We can chose to remain stuck in our past (maybe the easy option) or we can learn from the setbacks/mistakes - adapt, grow stronger and try to move forward. Possibly easier said then done. I think maybe at last I'm starting to mature! Maybe my Peter Pan mentality is deserting me.



However, saying that let me tell you've set my sights on doing a bit of quirky "live art". Let me explain, up in the City of London in Trafalgar Square they have a thing called the Fourth Plinth.(Click on the link for details) And guess what you can take over the ownership of this Plinth for the duration of one hour and do what you like on it. Of course, all in the name of art and within the realms of the law. You've to enter you name into a ballot to see if you win a hour's slot. So I might just enter.For my live art project I'm thinking about dressing up as a BIG FAT pig. Stand on the plinth and blow-up coloured sausage shaped hydrogen balloons (different colours representing the political parties of this country). On each balloon I thought I'll scribble the name of the MP and the amount of the expenses they claimed illegally from us the tax payer. And one by on let the balloons go and if possible once the reached a certain height make them explode and release a stink bomb smell!


The PIC/Other Half was not impressed and thought I'd most probably get arrested for this libel action. Perhaps, I need to go back to the drawing board on this one ;-) But then again!
