Honeysuckle

After a little under five years, the honeysuckle I planted on my city balcony is in flower – the sweet smell of consistent watering.

Whatever it was I said before, don’t believe it

Driving in the Troodos mountains, Cyprus, with GGF, breathing clean, pine-scented air, soaked in mediterranean sun, I saw tree-lined valleys falling away before us into a heat-haze distance, and instantly asked that we stop and take in the view. I felt the unmistakable urge to listen to what this place might have to say. I took a few pictures, and then I started to make a video.

I didn’t prepare this little sermon on the mount – it was spontaneous. Speaking mirthfully of the truth, I was taken by surprise when the truth was actually revealed to me.

As a result of making this video, and being so simply reminded about what matters, since returning from Cyprus at the end of April I have completely and systematically revised my work methods and returned to some long-held but temporarily obscured aims. I’m still not 100% certain of how it happened, but I am bloody glad that it did. It won’t show for a few months yet, but the pieces are now in place, and I am happy to post this video to sort of explain why I have changed, if not quite how.

Wish me luck, I might just need it.

Thrilled that we’ve raised about £75 English quid for BuskAid already – there’s a bidding war to be next week’s sponsor. Only 23 hours left…

Phil Campbell has nice words to say about Rise and Shine and a great account of the earthquake which hit Britain earlier this morning.

My new endeavour – a combination of masochism and vain ambition, the perfect launchpad for comedy and art.
