Being Valued.

This evening, I attended a Buddhist Meditation Group for the first time at Kairos in Soho www.kairosinsoho.org.uk I felt really relaxed after the session.

Whilst in Soho, I visited 'First Out Cafe-Bar www.firstoutcafebar.com/ to collect a copy of 'The Pink Paper' www.pinkpaper.com After seeing Boy George's image, with the words Music, Men and Madness, on the front cover of 'Out in the City' www.outmag.co.uk The Ultimate Guide to Gay London, plus a photo and article relating to my Sweetie-pie, Julian Clary, I collected this magazine too.

I'll be on holiday from work for a few weeks in November, and I have set aside several books to read, such as: 'Take it like a man' the autobiography of Boy George with Spencer Bright, 'A Young Man's Passage' by Julian Clary, 'Ellen' The real story of Ellen DeGeneres by Kathleen Tracy, 'The Fires of Bride' by Ellen Galford, 'Trumpet' by Jackie Kay, 'Borrowed Body' by Valerie Mason-John, 'How to become a Virgin' by Quentin Crisp, 'Selected Poems' by Langston Hughes, 'Warrior Poet' a biography of Audre Lorde by Alexis De Veaux and 'Moab is my washpot' by Stephen Fry.

On route home, via Clapham High street, I collected some information on Pride Life http://www.pridelife.co.uk/ and GFest 08 - gayWise LGBT arts festival http://www.gaywisefestival.org.uk/
