rock_bear is currently in Brighton attending the World Beard and Mustache Championships. Competition is fierce; especially from Team USA but as I write, they should be announcing the results. I think he's hoping for "Best in Breed...!"More Reasons Why Rockbear Is A Star...

Sex In The City...
Mar. 5th, 2007 05:21 pmDid ya miss me?
Have been out and about; went to Manchester on Friday to meet up with a cub I'd been talking to online; it was a good meet and unspeakable deeds were undertaken. Headed off to Nottingham on Saturday to be met by
madamemish
who was able to get me into
rock_bear
's apartment, then we headed off to The Lord Roberts for conversation and meeting up with other members of Michelle's entourage (or "the pink" as I believe she refers to them in her journalling.) Got back into Russ's apartment without fluffing up the security system and fell asleep on the sofa.
Normally when someone comes in late, my brain automatically wakes me up but this time it didn't. And so, at 7am, I wondered if indeed Russ had got back from the theatre. I pushed open the door slightly to see a suitably Bear sized mass on the bed. Demanding tea with menaces. Spent the best part of the day in town; up at Nottingham Castle watching some local members of The Sealed Knot drilling on the lawn. The regiment concerned, Robartes, is a regiment that was in the same association as my former regiment. Indeed, Jaaaaaaaason, who I introduced to the Sealed Knot about 15 years ago, was there with his wife (wife???!!! When did that happen???) Along with a number of other people who I remember from my days in the seventeenth century. I am more or less convinced to re-join in the Living History contingent, but I have a feeling that Russ could also being convinced... or was he just trying to seduce the Sergeant of Pike???

Blind Vision...
Feb. 16th, 2007 10:01 amThere is an image that haunts me. I am falling, rolling at constant speed, down a wide, circular marble staircase. As I fall, all step back but look on with horror; paralysed and unable to help. It's just an image.
People are helping in their own sweet way and I am grateful. Grateful for support; grateful for the valentine messages on valentinr. Bear with me - I am trying to weather the storm and I am hoping that once I move; close the door on Gosport and open a door somewhere else that I will accept the positive step that it is. Yes, I will rant, rail and howl from time to time. It's cathartic and I need to do it. I am not going to bottle it up as that way leads to more serious mental damage. And the one person who gets the worst of it,rock_bear, does not deserve half the crap I throw at him, especially at the moment.
I am still damaged goods. But I am repairing.

Mabel's Handbag, Amongst Other Things...
Feb. 6th, 2007 07:39 pmStill packing. A pretty soul-destroying experience, despite 15 boxes going into store today. The house still seems full. Problem is, I don't know anyone local who can hire a van for a whole day, so I'm having to rely on a Man And Van service. Next trip booked for a week on Thursday.
As regards the Curse of Mabel's Handbag... if i could find a suitable mp3 hosting site, I would put up a copy of the demos I made before I went to Fiesta. And then all will be revealed.
