I’m actually looking forward to returning to school. I’ve been a bit of a hermit these holidays and it will be good to catch up with my friends and to see the kids.

The last term is usually a very quick and frantic term and I feel quite prepared and rested and recovered from last terms pains. I am planning some trips for the next holidays because I don’t think I could do another holiday totally at home like this. I have spent the last two breaks virtually at home. My home is in order now. I feel free to take off again next chance I get.

My brother Tim, (the musical one) directed my attention to the latest version of a classic Kate Bush song, “Wuthering Heights” by Josh Pyke. I have it on myspace. It’s not bad. I think her songs are awesome in themselves and enjoy different versions of them.

Placebo’s version of Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’. The video is an interesting compilation of fans. There’s a live version of them singing it on YouTube, if you are interested.

This artist also has a great version of one of my favourite Kate songs. I like what he says at the start of the clip also.Maxwell sings “This Woman’s Work”

There are more, but some are not so good. I am patiently waiting for my ‘Never For Ever’ CD to replace my scratched LP.

It’s a song by the Waifs. I like it. The song and my haircut. I have cut it all off short. Not with the same spirit of contempt as the song. I don’t feel like that at all. I’m not angry, just sad.

I had an enjoyable visit from June today and we laughed about hair. Hers is long at present and she was commenting on how much attention she gets from men and attributes it to the long hair. I know when my hair has grown long, it’s always been the men in my life, partners, son, father, pa who have balked at the suggestion of getting it all cut off. I think it’s funny, cause my hair grows long, when I am neglecting my appearance.

Andy has a job in Tassie now, so I accept he’s not coming back soon. Damn it!
