Stepping Out into the Unknown…
12th September 2025
Hello my most beautiful and precious starshine,
How are you my lovely? I really do hope you’re okay and you’re having a really good day. I also hope you’re sleeping well and restfully {} xxx It’s 13.28. Thoroughly enjoy your scrumptious lunch and quiet moment. You haven’t got too long to go now {} xx
I really wish I knew your thoughts about what’s going on at the moment. I’ve seen footages and photos of the flags on the lamp posts, but it’s quite different seeing them for real. I wasn’t expecting to see them on my way to the dentist today. It’s like I stepped into another world. I noticed they were mainly around the roundabouts. I know the majority of people aren’t like this, and it’s a small group of people organising the flags, but it does feel unsafe.
I imagine you would’ve heard the harrowing news about the Sikh lady, who was racially abused and raped in Oldbury yesterday morning. I read about it when I got home. It’s shocking and terrifying. The poor woman.
I actually told Liron a few days ago, that being raped is the thing I feared the most if ever there was a war. My scars are there.
In many ways, I’m glad I’m confined to this room. I’m safe. I’m just shocked at how quickly things have escalated. The government should be stepping in, not fuelling it. The hard right are being embraced by them and the media. All that progress gone, but it’s not lost. We’ve lived in a multicultural society for too long, but I know it’s likely to get worse before it gets better.
I’m keeping everything crossed the turn out for Tommy Robinson’s march in London tomorrow is dwarfed by the counter protesters. It’s great Stop the Hate and the Unions have organised buses to get there from Birmingham. This one’s not safe for Liron to go to.
Zack is so refreshing and he’s having a brilliant start. The Greens do give me hope. We desperately need it. It’s also fantastic the membership has grown to 72,000, and it’ll grow further. They’ve only just started with their clear messaging.
Once again, I’d love to hear your thoughts about it all… I do miss you.
I felt your loss when I was at the dentist. I always spoke with you. I did go scuba diving again, and Kate Bush joined me with Wuthering Heights. They do have some great music videos playing in the waiting room.
Everything is fine. The chip is tiny and no need for concern. It shouldn’t worsen. Such a huge relief. I was happily surprised that everything is fine, no decay, no plaque. I don’t need a clean and polish. It was almost three years since my last appointment. I think it helps not having sugary things. I’ll get my night guard at the end of the month.
It’s 14.14 and the sun’s trying to come out again. It was wonderful saying hello to its brightness today. I’m going to rest now, recover and prepare for the next appointment on Tuesday. The lovely lady from the chronic fatigue clinic is coming over to do some tests. My pelvic MRI is on Friday.
Therapy was tough yesterday. With all the medical appointments, we’re having a break for three weeks. It would be too much with the heavy things that are coming up. I just need to get through each day for the rest of the month.
You haven’t got too long to go now. Sun will be waiting for you. It’s shoved the grey clouds out of the way, and shining brightly now.
Take the greatest and gentlest care of yourself my lovely. I imagine you will be exhausted. Rest, rest and rest {} xx
Once everything is done, sit back, relax and enjoy settling in with all the fabulous music. I saw BB King – The Life of Riley is on. It sounds great. Thoroughly enjoy it for me too (I’m going to watch it later). Then sleep well with the sweetest of dreams for both of us {} xxx
The magic comfort blanket will wrap itself around you, and will give you all the healing love, hugs and kisses in the world. There’ll be lots from me as well. I love you and I do miss you. I really do hope you are keeping well and everything is okay {} xxxx
It’s 15.05. Supergrass’ live cover of Lady Day and John Coltrane popped up. I hope you enjoy it later my lovely {} xxx I thought of you and remembered you sending the song to me.
16.49
I kept thinking you sent me the original by Gil Scott-Heron, but I think it might’ve been Rumer with Daryl Hall. I’m sure there were two people singing Lady Day and John Coltrane. I love their version of Slow as well. I hope you enjoy revisiting them both {} xxxx
