(... It makes me sad )

There are a few people in the world that make things okay however desperate, when on your own you feel like you could never overcome something. I have some pretty amazing friends. Not many, but those that are close to me I care about so much.  Claire is pretty much one of the most amazing people you will ever meet in the world. (I will discuss of course later when I spend a day in her life) Gosh she makes me happy. We both were home, well in her home, my second home, and we decided to hit the charity shops. Yes, I love them. They are my favourite places to shop, because with each thing I buy:

It's Giving money to a good cause
It isn’t going to a landfill to sit in sadness and very very slowly crumble away
The item I have has already had so many adventures before me, and that is pretty magical.

We went to everyone along the high street. My favourite one was off the main road and it wasn’t from a chain like Oxfam or cancer research or anything. This was run by a group of people who wanted to raise money for their charity of choice. I could hear a lady in the background calling out if anybody wanted tea in a delightful estuarial colloquial tone and excitingly offering the ‘posh biscuits’ with it too.  It makes me so happy to riffle through all the stuff that gets donated to those places. There is hardly ever an occasion where I don’t manage to come away with something. Thats not because I buy things for the sake of it, no no, just because I like a lot of things, especially the type of things that people don’t want.

My mind is very busy. I think almost constantly. I thought that typing here might be a good outlet for all the activity; also, I enjoy writing, reading and making things. This way I can access lots of other information and people’s feelings, also people can read mine. I like sharing. I like ordinary, everyday life. It is the activities of each day that make up whether it has been a good week, month or year. Life’s everyday intricacies are where it's at.

p.s. You can find out about me slowly, even if I tried really hard I couldn't sum myself up all in one go. Decide for yourself, be my guest.
