Zebra crossings

You know, the non automated crossings, heralded by Belisha beacons (as seen above but with a usually less watery setting). Often staffed by cheery men and women in Hi-Vis raincoats. Perhaps you don't have them where you live? I like them because they give back power to the pedestrian. If someone is waiting, the car…Read more Zebra crossings

X

Well, I have to admit it, X has me beaten. I did have the idea of using "Xenophilia" as the title of this post, thinking of it only as a positive thing. The opposite of xenophobia.

..being someone else

on stage! I've always loved being on acting; as long as someone else has written the lines (and I can remember them) I'm happy.

Perfecting my miming skills to ensure a place at the front of the chorus (I can't…Read more ..being someone else
