Lisa Miskovsky - Little bird



I love this song so it had to appear here.
She is a Swedish singer and I think vitually unknown in this country.
I did put up another of her songs 'Still Alive' in a previous post.

A Sad Day

I am not sure how I feel. A relation has just died after a long illness  I didn't him that well, but I know he was a very intelligent man who went his own way which seemed to annoy people for no good reason. I did get the feeling he would have been ok with me if I had ever gone down the road of transition and probably would have wanted to know why rather than come to his own conclusions. Somebody I wish I'd got to know better. There will be no funeral as he has left his body to medical science. I guess there will be one in about a year I think when his remains are cremated and the ashes returned to his family. Certainly makes me think what I should do for when I finally leave this mortal coil.
A sad day.

Clear Out

I'm in the process of having a major clear out of my clothes. I am amazed how much I have collected. This I guess is a first, previous times have been a out and out purge. I can't believe some of the horrible clothes I've bought over the years. It's freed up some of those vacuum bags.
I decided to have a clear out after watching Confessions of a Shopaholic when the heroine's friend opens her closet and everything bursts out. The heroine can't bare to get rid of anything. I could identify with her but needs must.
The first pair of shoes I bought are absolutely horrible. Approaching  double figures with shoes and I have a few handbags. Quite a few pairs of jeans, none of which I can bare to part with. I had to wear size 14 skirts when I first started going out. Now when I do wear a skirt I am a 10. Still a 16 up top which is a problem with dresses. That's probably why I don't wear any to often. If I do get dressed up, by that I mean not jeans and a top I just wear a skirt and a top. I not really bothered about dresses, but every now and then I see one, well the notion soon passes, I guess when I am out presenting as female,  I am not a million miles away from bob. I just hope my taste has improved.
