A walk in my shoes

I wanted to do a post about serious issues, but this time it's nausea rather than tiredness acting as my foil. I think I'm either pregnant or dying, and as I'm an infertile who doesn't have sex, I think I know which is more likely. Anyway, I swear I have some good posts coming, not that it matters since most of you Bloglines kids haven't been told of my existence in months. Fucking thing.

Today P and I visited friends, and on the way home we passed an old cemetery that I've never actually explored despite my reformed Goth leanings. Fog was settling, so I did what any good ex-Goth would do and whipped out my camera. P was slightly intrigued, but got distracted when I wouldn't keep turning left as per her demands. For your (hopeful) enjoyment, here are some of the photos. Can it get more British than this, I ask you?











And because life knew I had a camera to document this, I present:



Real things soon, I promise.

  1. And it's even foggy! So quintessentially British!

  2. I plan on hiring out of work actors to weep at my grave. Which will be a gigantic angel, shaking it's fists at the heavens as if to say "How DARE you take Becky?"

    I laugh because I have buried so many.

    God, that sounds depressing.

  3. Wow, I can almost smell the moss.

    Can one smell moss?

  4. The reformed Goth in ME loves this post. And is that fog in the distance? I think I hear Sisters of Mercy playing in the background too.

  7. The goth in you would love Highgate cemetery - moss and gloom in abundance plus Marx what more could you want.

    Hope the nausea resolves.

  8. That angel looks all "You! You sit HERE."

    I love those old cemetaries. The church in Angus' hometown has three tombs where the bodies of three women burned at the stake as witches are buried. Ironically, Angus' ex-wife isn't one of those.

  9. I love exploring old cemetaries. Morbid curiosity I guess.

  10. Yeah, there is something compelling about many cemeteries.

    And the infertile who doesn't have sex line cracked me up.

  11. If you enjoy this sort of thing, you are officially 100% British, and must NEVER GO AWAY! Other countries can offer you nothing, NOTHING, you hear?
