Bowie did the impossible today and kept something this big under wraps in the music business. The new single is beautiful, strange. It has hints of some earlier work but has its own sound as well.

Don’t thank me until you’ve ridden.
I sank back down into the pillows. Cute. Bossy. And pick up. What did that mean? I couldn’t think what to text back. Everything I thought of made me seem either desperate or uninterested.

Christmas is coming…
Christmas is always a fun time of year. I am enjoying spending time by the virtual fire with Tristan, putting up decorations and writing. I wasn't expecting him to come in but he does look good in the Christmas tea towel, even if it's a little small. He said he was looking at the new … Continue reading Christmas is coming…
