A Day In The Life...



Today I spent the day in Brighton with some of the members
of my amazing team.
















This afternoon I applied some creativity in Brighton.













































I watched the powerful and moving film 'Changeling', on my return to London, this evening.

The Guardian Society Guardian, 03 December 2008
Being 'mentally ill' does not make you incompetent
Columnist discusses the BBC Horizon Documentary “How Mad Are You” in light of her own experience of being mentally ill.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/dec/03/mental-health-how-mad-are-you
Pointer: Perhaps you agree with this writers opinion and want to show your support?



Shift has launched three short films to encourage staff and employersto think about mental health at work. The films can be viewed online at http://shift.org.uk/employers * Watch Bernies reaction to someone with ‘problems upstairs’,* See if you can relate to Pauls frustration at the photocopier* Feel the anxiety when Sarah returns to work and finds that not everyone is as welcoming as she had hoped. The films are aimed at employers and employees who do not consider mental health problems to be a workplace issue.

I Think About You.

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?
to really love a woman,
to understand her - you've got to know her deep inside
hear every thought - see every dream,
and give her wings - when she wants to fly
then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
you know you really love a woman
when you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted
when you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
so tell me have you ever really - really - really ever loved a woman?
to really love a woman, let her hold you - till you know how she needs to be touched
you've got to breathe her - really taste her
till you can feel her in your blood
and when you see your unborn children in her eyes
you know you really love a woman
when you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
when you love a woman you tell her that she is the one
cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
so tell me have you ever really
really, really ever loved a woman?
you've got to give her some faith -hold her tight
a little tenderness - you've got to treat her right
she will be there for you, taking good care of you
you really gotta love your woman...


i Think About You.




I oughta be workin - but I can't concentrate.


I oughta be sleepin - steada stayin up late.


When I oughta be doing all the things I should do.




i think about you.






I oughta be writin - but I cant find the song


Just sittin here driftin - driftin along.


Theres only one thing that I wanna do, and that's think about you.


I think about you - I can't get no rest.


I think about you - there ain't no one else


It's all I can do - I can't help myself.




i think about you.






I could go cruisin - but I've had enough.


I could go drinkin - but I can't stand the stuff.


It just don't do me like it used to do, I'd rather think about you.


I think about you - I can't get no rest.


I think about you - there ain't no one else.


Its all I can do - I can't help myself




i think about you.

I Am Back At Work.

I was filmed this morning, by www.annexfilms.co.uk for a future mental health campaign.



I now have a 14th November 2008, copy of 'the Friend', Discover The Contemporary Quaker Way http://www.thefriend.org/





Today I was safely back with my Westminster team, after three weeks of annual leave.








UB40 & Chrissy Hinde.




I Got You Babe.

by UB40 & Chrissy Hinde
I am tickled pink, to now be a fully paid up member of the Conservative Party. On mentioning this - to someone that will remain nameless - I was told that they are 'pleased that the blue ones want you, lets hope you really want them'. hmmm.
Moving swiftly on, I attended a satisfying Kaos Signing Choir performance, on Sunday 30th November 2008, at the Royal Festival Hall.
The Kaos Signing Choir

Children.




I have been listening to Dusty Springfield's www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusty_Springfield classic 'Breakfast in Bed' www.last.fm/music/Dusty+Springfield/_/Breakfast+in+Bed on my ipod, which I enjoy just as much as the Chrissy Hinde / UB40 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVLjzIRZjtQ version.

Angels.



Angels






I could, discuss the fact that I was listening to David Bowie www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie on my ipod, whilst wondering where I saw him act in the film 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Christmas,_Mr._Lawrence Or, just how much I truly appreciated my 3pm, Sunday 30th November 2008 viewing of the Annie Leibovitz film, at the National Portrait Gallery. Going into details of, my view on Sir Mick Jagger's www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Jagger perception of Annie Leibovitz, and my love of his role in the film 'Performance' www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_(film)


When really, all I want to do, is to take time out today, to remember people like, Rock Hudson www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Hudson Freddie Mercury www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury Kenny Everett www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Everett Arthur Ashe www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Ashe Sheila Henderson www.amazon.co.uk/Books/s?ie=UTF8&rh...27%3ASheila%20Henderson&field-author=Sheila.... and
