Daughter.
Every part of the new album, that I have heard, I am in love with. ’Not to disappear' was released today, and I haven't listened completely yet. Hmmm, a cross between Sigur Ros and Laura Marling, could be a description...
iTunes give a stronger review...
There’s tremendous poise to Elena Tonra’s astonishing vocals. Whatever rumbling atmospheric walls her FrancoSwiss band build, the Londoner holds her steely nerve. It’s a mesmeric blueprint that the three-piece perfect on this second album. Single “Doing the Right Thing” is the marker for their ambitions: tremulous guitars and mournful organ gather like storm clouds over Tonra’s intense account of her grandmother’s Alzheimer’s struggle. This intoxicating slow-burn envelops the album, particularly the giddy “How” and glorious “Mother”. Elsewhere, “No Care” is a tightly-coiled dance beast, while “To Belong”s tumultuous finale gives the album its euphoric release.

Please remember. There is nothing more powerful than belief. If faced by a daunting, big task, if you can overcome it rationally, then your mind is the only obstacle. If you are realistically convinced that you will tackle the problem successfully, you will. Our minds are infinitely powerful. Self-belief is our most vital tool. YOU CAN tackle any problem successfully. Every problem has a solution, find it, live it, be it.
Be proud of yourself, but keep it internal. Call on it when needed, when self-belief is required. Don’t lose it, wasting it through mindless, aggressive, arrogance. You must use it to help yourself.
Rush nothing. Give everything the deserved time.
Stay patient. What’ll be will be.
Accept and be grateful.
taste the coffee...mmmmmmm
'Existing in a state of obsolescence’
There is nothing worse. I live in fear of it. To own something, knowing full well that it will be superseded by the next version is natural, but it’s future life must not be wasted. The earth is kind to us, but realistically, it can only be so, up to a certain level. It is up to us to live and optimise human benefit, up to this level. We want to maintain this, not asking for too much. Else we (both us and planet) are forced beyond the point of no return!
Don't argue with me regarding the accessibility (I am a disabled, wheelchair user) of Surbiton (my hometown) coffee shops (I think that I know a thing or two about these)!
Public’s ignorance is what hurts.
I make peace with the cafe. I have tried to forget the confrontational instigator 'Surbiton local', from Ipswich!
Ignore.
'Occupational therapist’s dream’
Bought with vouchers received at Christmas, I 'pushed the boat out', purchasing this kitchen-roll dispenser. I am encouraging myself to clean more (DOH)! Tearing one sheet of paper at a time (eco.-sustainable, maybe)?
I have been working for the London Green Party. I am a strong believer in the philosophies of Sian Berry. She always speaks such sense, and a high quality candidate for the London Mayor race this summer.
