Hello again. Sorry to just leap into the puns, but I couldn't resist that one. I went to Brighton yesterday, to buy new shoes. I popped on the Brighton express and arrived at 1:30. And I was on the train home at 3:30. Much as I like Brighton, (being skint) I couldn't think of much to do there. Secondhand clothes are actually more expensive than in London down there. I had a lovely lunch in Infinity though. Anyway, the point I was going to make was this. On the train down, I was looking out of the window and daydreaming. And I got to thinking about bands/artists who manage to cultivate a sense of their surroundings in their work. I think travelling through Battersea made me think of Morrissey, and how he used to move from Manchester to London to Manchester.....etc. Then I thought about B&S, and the sense that they are very much a 'Glasgow' band. And I started feeling like I have lost my identity to some extent. As I spent the first 18 years of my life living in Devon (in the same house) and most of my adult life in London. I have moved back to Devon a couple of times. And each time I have found it difficult because I have changed. But I find it difficult in London too, because I'll always be Devonian really. There is no answer to this. But I wonder what (if any) impact this has had on my writing. Hmmmmmmm. I'll have to go through my stuff and see how much writing I've done about train journeys. ~ ~ @ @ | \_/ Take care. snowy xxx _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
