The Joys of Solitude ... it's not for everyone.

I share a magazine article lifted from SMH's Spectrum.  It is about solitude.  I love this article because it describes my husband's nature so aptly!  I can see clearly our future, our retirement.  He reading a book, and I reading my book at both ends of a comfortable couch.  Our silences will not be pregnant; they will not be heavy.  Our silences will be comfortable and harmonious ... Oh wait, there will be beautiful music of Vivaldi's violin strings playing in the background.

I can't wait!

There's no idle chatter, no white noise and no need to get out of your pyjamas. Phil Daoust extols the virtues of seclusion.
YOU don't get many casual visitors where I live. Home is down a dirt track, three kilometres from the nearest village. The neighbours are five minutes' walk away, and when the woods are in leaf you can't see another building. By day you may hear a chainsaw in the distance; by night only the deer barking. I'm on my own here, if you don't count the cat, and right now it's a week since I saw another human.
But it's a beautiful spot, in a lovely bit of France, and every now and again a rambler will find his way to it. If I'm outside, and don't have time to hide, his first remark will usually be: "This is a little bit of heaven."
I'll feel a little bashful, as if I somehow shaped this world with my own talented hands, and then he'll say: "Mind you, I could never live here."

Rockwiz Duet: Hot "Slave to Love" cover ...




Watch Canadian siren Martha Wainwright sashay from side to side, how-low-can-you-go and up again. Smooth and sultry in her cute yellow number and white stockings! Aussie Dan Kelly almost forgot his lyrics!




'Can you help me, can you help me' .... 'Over me' ...
