A Bedtime Story for Young Urban Explorers

When I was a kid I had a picture book called `The Lonely Skyscraper`. It was a haunting and beautiful story of a skyscraper who felt empty in the city, because nobody truly lived inside him. Sure, he was full of bustle and noise during the day, but at night he was left dark and alone, but for a few security guards patrolling his floors.
So he uprooted himself and ran away to the countryside, where gradually animals came to live in him, with dormice and birds making nests of his paper supplies, bears hibernating in his basements, and deer grazing the grass that shot up through his forecourt. With so much life inside him, he finally knew peace and happiness.

Valentine Just Because I Can

I am gorging myself on Valentines Day stuff because I can. Some may think it’s an obsession, so what. I’m having fun. It’s about the only time of the year I feel it’s ok to be girlie. Not that I go around wearing makeup and stick thin, skyscraper high heels, I just like the pretty colours and wishy washy sentiment. Romance is not dead it’s just hibernating.

Now, all the women who read HappyandBlue‘s blog should find a decent ecard site and send him a Valentine. Mushy or friendly or humourous, just surprise the guy. Just because.

PS- John Dunford …. I definitely want an eValentine and a lengthy email from you.

Hershey‘s has nice Valentine epostcards.

Maxtango is a site for sharing your own designer email cards. I’m signing up just for fun but so far the sign up thing is screwing up and I can’t register.
