Funny how life can change in an instant

It’s been some time since I last posted on here. For that, I apologise. A lot has been going on, not least the fact that I no longer live in Brighton. I moved out. A long, personal story I shan’t go into here, but my friends already know what I’m talking about anyway. Suffice to say, it was a long time since I’d been single.

The most amazing times

I know I’ve already written about the a-ha gig at Brighton Centre, but this was truly a special time for me, so I’m going to mention it again, this time in context.

November arrives and everything happens at once

This month has been busy and it’s only halfway through. NaNoWriMo, of course, began at midnight on the first, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it would be far more enjoyable if people didn’t complain on the forums about it being ‘so hard to find time to write’ or their ‘characters don’t do what they’re told’.

Autumn and its inherent changes

Well, autumn has finally arrived. The wealth of blackberries is starting to recede as the bushes prepare for colder weather (but not before I picked a load to make into yummy jam, thank you Mother Nature for the free food) and there’s not as much sunlight as there was, even though it seems there’s more actual sunshine now than there was in supposedly-sunny-but-actually-very-wet August.

Another a-ha day…

Well, what can I say? I don’t usually get the chance to see a band twice on the same tour (Steeleye Span notwithstanding, but they don’t count – in a good way). But over the weekend, with the RAH gig being sold out, I went to look on a-ha’s website (http://www.a-ha.com).

Memories come flooding back

As I walked out from Brighton Centre this morning having bought my ticket to see a-ha in November, I had to stop a big girlie grin from spreading across my face. And now, as I go back over the old tracks, I’m reminded of a major thing from my childhood.
