Monday…
27th October 2025
Good morning my most beautiful and precious starshine,
How are you my lovely? I hope you’re keeping really well, you’re feeling happy, and you slept soundly and very restfully. I hope you’re enjoying a relaxing start to this beautiful Monday morning {} xxx
It’s the first time I’ve heard The Jam’s Monday. It’s a lovely song. There are moments when Paul sounds a little bit like David Bowie. Perhaps it’s just me. Here’s California Soul by Marlena Shaw for you as well. I hope you enjoy them both my beautiful sweetheart {} xx
I imagine The Rose Field is very happily with you now. Thoroughly enjoy the thrilling adventure for me too my lovely {} xx I still haven’t seen the third series of His Dark Materials. It’s about time. I imagine you would’ve seen it by now {} xxx
I’ve just seen The Greens are at 150,000 members. That has cheered me up after all the depressing news. I imagine you’re over the moon as well.
It’s 11:11. They really need to call out racism for what it is, loud and clear, and make it unacceptable again. The news of the Punjabi lady getting raped in Walsall is horrendous. Poor woman. It’s a relief to hear they’ve arrested him. It’s about power isn’t it? Always is…
The outside world seems unrecognisable. Dr Who came to mind when I heard Sarah Pochin’s racist rant. I’d dread to hear her thoughts on Dr Who’s inclusivity, but then again it’s probably unlikely she watches it.
I feel very ill. I tested for COVID-19 but it’s thankfully negative. It must be the crash. It’s difficult to differentiate the symptoms because they’re identical. My taste buds aren’t quite back to normal since the surgery, and I keep smelling paraffin over the last few days. I do like the smell of paraffin and petrol, but not all the time. It is pungent.
We don’t have any paraffin in the house, and I stuck my head out of the window, and it’s not coming from outside. Breathing’s also a bit more difficult. I think it’s going to take longer to recover. I’m sleeping well but my battery isn’t charging. I need proper rest. I wish I could completely switch my brain off.
I really do hope you’re keeping in good health my lovely. I really hope so. I also hope you’ll be able to rest well this week {} xx
I almost forgot! It was Picasso’s birthday on the 25th of October. Another genius born in October. That reminds me, I have Picasso – The Beauty and the Beast on my watch list. Have you seen the series? I remember going to his fantastic exhibition in Paris. Along with the development of his work, they showed the influence he had on other artists. His brilliant and powerful Guernica was there as well. Have you seen it in the flesh? It is magnificent.
In the flesh has reminded me of Dan Auerbach’s fantastic Every Chance I Get (I Want You In The Flesh). I remember sending it to you when it was released two years ago. It’s lovely to revisit it again. I hope you enjoy it too {} xxx
I’m going to stop rambling now. It’s 12:22.
Today’s perfect for a magical walk. If you go, wrap up and enjoy all the beauty for me as well. I imagine you’ll be taking lots of stunning photos. I do miss them…
Take it nice and gently my lovely, and enjoy the most gorgeous, exciting, joyous and restful day. Give yourself lots of love and care, and nourish your precious heart with wonderous delights for me too {} xxx
I love you so much, and I’m sending you an infinite amount of magical healing love, thoughts, hugs and kisses. They’re really looking forward to spending the week with you {} xxxx
It’s 17:25. I just read that the rapist followed the Punjabi lady home, and broke down her door. It was upsetting and shocking to hear the news this morning, but to know she was raped in her own home is absolutely horrendous.
She’s not going to feel safe in her home. Not for a while. I can’t imagine. I say this, but of course I can. I know I blocked the memories of the sexual abuse, but I lived in fear of my dad exploding all the time. My heart goes out to her. I really hope she has the love, care and support to help her through this, in the same way the Sikh lady has. I hope so.
I’ve felt so angry with myself for blocking those memories, but I’m so glad I did now. I know the blocked memories have affected me severely, but I don’t think I would’ve survived if I remembered everything. Suicide attempts would’ve eventually worked, or I would’ve been completely broken. I wouldn’t be who I am today.
I hope you’ve enjoyed a fabulous and fun day my lovely, and you’re now settling in for the night with your heart beaming. I imagine you had something superb for lunch. Wonderful!! {} xxx
Take the greatest care of yourself my precious starshine, and enjoy the most gorgeous, relaxing and delicious evening. If you’re in your fabulous studio, thoroughly enjoy playing and singing your gorgeous heart out for me too. I love you {} xxx It’s 17:55.
I’ve rested. It does help. I couldn’t make my oils or shower. I’m going to continue with My Fair Lady. I’m hugging you extremely tightly {} xxxx Wouldn’t it be loverly?…
I’ve just finished watching My Fair Lady. It’s 21:21. I really enjoyed it and I still love the film, but I did see it with fresh eyes, especially the misogyny, abuse and abandonment. I don’t have slippers, but I did want to throw my trainers at Professor Higgins and Eliza’s dad.
I’m so thankful things have changed, but we still have a long way to go. It’s terrifying misogyny is on the rise. We’re going backwards at the speed of light. Misogyny needs to be unacceptable as well.
I really hope you’re okay, and you’re enjoying the most beautiful evening my lovely {} xx Sleep well, sleep restfully and peacefully, with the sweetest of dreams for both of us. Hug, hug. Kiss, kiss {} xxxx
