Memento Mori



Rather like a well tended country churchyard, although my summer has been, on outward viewing, relaxing...breezy...floral...inoffensive even, much as I loathe to admit, it has essentially been pretty dead.




The infrequency of my recent blog posts also has been a background beat in my brain for quite some time now too.


Tap tap tapping away at my lazy skull sounding not unlike the faint tapping coming up from the ground from the unlucky folks who have been buried alive in said hypothetical graveyard. But enough with the morbid metaphor! On to the chit chat about ...relatively cool stuff!








Festivals have been a bit of a recerrant love affair studding this summer, and to round things off proper, i have just returned from Pukkelpop, Kiewet, Belgium, possibly the best festival ever given to humankind for these reasons three:


1. Mindblowingly boast-tastic lineup


2. Cheap smokes


3. Amazing chocolate.




I honestly havent just got back from a Bridget Jones fan convention (although if anyone knows of one in existance please contact me asap)


but a lovely box of lucky strike cigs, even inside the festival would set me back but a mere daily 3 euros, and, along with all the rather choice dutch weed we were kindly donated by charitable euro-cousins, I pretty much had a smoking device sticking out both my nostrils and ears as well as my mouth at all times. Hu-zzah.




Also we discovered...joy.








Forget 'suprises'. Who wants the risk of a suprise when you can have 100 percent guarunteed JOY? Half an egg's worth of melty kinder chocolate, with little bueno-filled truffles nestled inside.


They even give you a little spoon to eat it with inside, AND you still get the toy. U know it makes sense.
