Oh that would be fab, shame about the distance hey...poor rabbit. I wouldn't worry too much, as long as she has some nice veggies and a big enough area to jump around in then I'm sure she has all she needs. You could always try getting another one as company, or maybe she is just happy doing her thing on her own. either way, she may percieve it as being cruel, but really you're being kind, so don't beat yourself up! Maybe she'll come around with time, or at least get better. I'm glad you took her in and have cared for her, that is lovely of you. Hope you're feeling good today sweetie xxxx

I had this awful weird bad dream, while staying in this little hotel room here in Portland Oregon, working on this "Have Moicy 2" recording project...
For some reason it was based on a movie poster for a horror movie called "The Beast Within," a movie poster that I remember seeing when I was a kid in NYC, and it looked really scary - it had a silhouette of what looked like a woman turning into a monster and it said something like "the scariest thing in the world is the last ten minutes of this movie!" so I thought it was probably a movie about a woman who turns into a really scary monster at the end.
ANYway, in my dream, I was sitting on a couch and there was a woman lying on the floor in front of the couch, naked and glowing with cool-looking pulsing energy. She was the woman who was going to turn into the monster, and she was writhing around and I could see bursts of light under her skin. I was really tense and nervous and was kicking at her with my feet to get her away from the couch before she turned into the monster, and I was kicking so hard that I woke myself up really kicking!

I hope you managed to get back to sleep, or at least you were not sharing a bed...I can imagine the other person not being impressed about being kicked awake! Maybe the woman/women in your life are all turning into emotional monsters or something.
I went to sleep this afternoon as I'm not feeling very well, but no dreams were remembered. I am now lying on my sofa in my warm star pyjamas feeling tired out even though I only just got up. Bleugh.

That reminds me of one time I was asleep sharing a space with my brother Jack, we were probably like 8 years old and 13 years old, and he woke me up in the middle of the night because he was kicking in his sleep. He was totally asleep but he was kicking his leg up and down. I told him to stop, but he seemed very happy and pleased with himself and he spoke in his sleep "I like to kick!"
It was so funny!

Reading these dreams reminded me of a really frightening experience when I became the burning concern in my now husbands dream when we were at university. I was awoken with him frantically trying to 'put me out' having not fully come round from dream about me being on fire. Pretty traumatising stuff, seem to think I cried for quite a time afterwards, it was really disturbing.

Not a real dream, more of a living nightmare, Sainsburys told us last week that they propose to spoil our street with an enormous development which will see our neighbours houses being demolished and us, a currently cosy mid Victorian terrace, the new end of terrace, butted up against a 3 lane entry/exit system to their contestably needed superstore. How can this sort of thing be possible? Let's hope that planning are human, although our council are currently not being particulary forceful with Costa Coffee who have 3 franchises trading without planning in the city so we'll have to see.

That's rubbish about the Sainsbury- get a local petition going if one isn't already, and shout at them and the council. I shop there, I'm sad to say, quite often. Maybe I should stop?
I've never kicked or beaten anyone in my sleep, except maybe the cat, that I know of, but then I am a great person to sleep next to. I hardly move and don't snore!
I think it's so sweet to think of little jeff and jack snuggled up together being brothers, aww! I never used to do that with my sisters, not that I remember any way xxx

Hey MHC! Did you and your sisters share rooms growing up? It's funny that Jack and I as kids always shared a room and sometimes a bed, and now because of being on tour together we have continued to do the same thing into our 30s!

Thanks for the boycotting the supermarket thought Helen, most kind! Sadly we shop there too despite feeling that supermarkets are plainly wrong in many ways. I should think the biggies already have planning established for their first megastores to open on the moon.

Maybe one good way to be very frustrating for the big stores would be to get mass avoidance of specific stores on chosen random days to create a headache in terms of surplus, profit reduuction etc provided off course the surplus didn't end up in the bin but charitably distributed. But hey, I'd rather be involved in doing other things really.........

I did share a room for a long time with my sister, younger by 2 years. We had our own rooms but we liked being together. When I went away to university, she was 16 and didn't like the empty bed, so she put a load of clothes on it so it looked like a person. Well, that's what she told me, maybe she just hadn't put her ironing away! I would share a room with her now, any time, but haven't done for 5 years when we shared a hotel room in Paris, now she has her own house. I love sibling love! My sisters are my best friends. I bet you and Jack are the same, especially as you work together too.

That's ok hun, I mainly use Sainsbury because it's close to my home, they sell my special milk and no one else does, the own brand cosmetics etc are BUAV approved and the staff are nice. But I also use Marks and Spencer for pretty much the same reasons, they just don't have enough choice. I'd stop shopping there though, if it would help at all. Like you said, they are such big companies that little me and my menial food bills probably don't make much of a difference, I do get my veg from local farmers and stuff, try and be kind and good as I can be.
Bit of a random post there. I have the most strange thread on here ever, it's like a free for all post about whatever anyone wants to converse with me and others about. I hope that's ok and I don't annoy everyone.

You are so at home on this site and it would not be the same without you or your musings Helen (random or otherwise). Indeed you have become inextricably linked to the forum and create a comforting security haven for readers wanting to tune in and importantly receive a return commuincation. That's such a big deal really, i'll bet you have loads of avid readers despite the fact that most remain quiet!

That's the nicest thing anyone has 'said' about me for ages, aww, thank you hun, I feel all red and smiley! I always just feel like I am kind of an annoyance and yet at the same time feel compelled to keep up my little blog unless someone somewhere wonders where I've gone...I'll go days thinking 'be quiet, no one cares' and then one day I'll be in a different mood and go 'just post some randomness, if no one cares, no one will read it...'
But you are so sweet you make me happy. I owe you a gin if you're ever in Cardiff xxxx

Ahh, so nice to have filled you with cheer! Will happily share a gin and a natter about random things one day. Won't be long until I'm walking about more comfortably and I always used to get to Cardiff a couple of times a year to meet up with a friend who lives in the Valleys and paints the most amzing pictures, but whose work remains largely unseen. Have a lovely weekend, beautifully sunny here xx

One day we will get around to it, I'm sure. Although, for someone who types pages and pages of crap on here, I am really quite shy and awkward! I am glad your legs are still on the mend, and look forward to when you get about properly again, it's been months, poor you! I hope the pain isn't too bad and you are getting your life back.
I find most people who are massively artistic are under appreciated...but that can make it even more special some times, like your own little secret club of genius.
Loads of love and cuddles xxx

I've recently managed to reduce the amount of sleep I have from 8 to 5 and a half. I really don't like sleeping, it takes up far too much time. It's been successful though, I don't have any less energy - there's only two downsides - the first, is no dreams. The second, less people stay up late so I never find much to fill the extra time with anyway.

I'd love to have more hours in the day, especially to myself, what a treat! I'd spend it reading, as I always wish I had more time for that. I pick up my book and struggle to read more than 10 pages before my eyes are closing. Or maybe writing in my notebook, Or writing letters, Or cleaning...so many ideas of things I run out of time to do! I couldn't cut my sleep down much more - I'm up half the night anyway as I wake a lot and can't drop back off, sometimes for hours, and health issues make it impossible. But good for you, if it's working!
I got a luxury new iron today, can't wait to use it. Other than that, had a really bad day emotionally. I have either been severely sad or angry for no reason for the majority of it.
