Friday 5

And already a week has passed again. It was a rollercoaster week for me for sure. One that didn’t demand to take my pen and write because the noise was too loud. Yes, that can happen too. This morning, I discovered that Friday 5 is a thing amongst bloggers, and I have to admit, either out of naivety or my egoistic nature – I didn’t know. Of course I doubt the originality and the need for such posts, at least from me. But let me tell you a secret: for now I need this, I need a little routine for my writing, despite of what I said in my post How to Write Like me.

Are we in the mood for some music? Let’s listen to a song, shall we?

Song

Alexi Murdoch – 12

From the album Time Without Consequences (2009)

I heard this song last week for the first time and I was taken aback by how emotional it is. Maybe it was because of the overall mood of the week – as I mentioned, Patrick’s nan passed away last Saturday and the funeral was last Wednesday. It was an emotional week for sure.

Photo

Last Friday, we were at an event, a 30-year-not married celebration. The reception was in an old renovated venue. I happened to capture this photo as the sun was slowly descending.

Sometimes, readers browse the sheer amount of writing at random here. It happens that I cannot remember the details of posts and I go back and read them, and I am surprised at my own words. This happened here too. So please, enjoy this weird little piece too.

Again, something I read “by accident” that spoke to me this week

Musing/Thought

Who will put flowers on my grave? Who will forget that I existed? And who will ask if I was there? I am thinking a lot about mortality lately. It’s a phase.

  1. I’ve had a rollercoaster week as well, as my beloved elderly cat Panda’s health has rapidly declined of late. He got very ill again last weekend and essentially stopped eating and was so lethargic we were certain we’d have to have him put down before the end of this week. Thankfully, he’s rallied a bit and seems to be feeling better and eating again the past few days. We know his days are numbered, but it’s comforting he’ll be with us a little while longer.

    I wasn’t familiar with Alexi Murdoch, but like “12” so much I’m now listening to more of Time Without Consequence.

    1. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. I hope Panda will stay with you for a while longer. šŸ’œ
      As for the music, Alexi Murdoch is a bit of a hidden gem. He deserves more listeners. šŸ™‚
