Blog for Radical Fun

Yesterday was Blogging for Radical Fun day, a day inspired by one of my favorite bloggers Brownfemipower and picked up and hosted by Sly Civilian. I completely forgot, much to my shame but Sly has changed the “rules” and is making this Radical Fun weekend. So here’s my entry….

What do radical bloggers do for fun ? Contrary to popular opinion, we are not a bunch of miserable “johnny no mates” who sit about moaning about the state of the world and preaching to whoever will listen (although I think that’s quite that’s fun too). So here’s a list of things I get up to when I’m not sitting about moaning about the state of the world and preaching to whoever will listen….

Dance wildly until the early hours, often barefoot , always sexy
Laugh deeply with the love of my life, my kid, my friends, at DD live, with complete strangers and sometimes when I’m on my own.
Watch Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Morecombe and Wise, French and Saunders and many other series I grew up watching on TV.
Potter about in my garden and enjoy seeing my plants bloom.
Say hello to my favorite dog every morning on my way to the kid’s school.
Cook for my friends and love when they love my food.
Watch my kid play basketball. He’s on a team now and I love seeing him achieving and I love that he loves it.
Make music. Loud, noisy and wild music.
Watch a great film even if it makes me cry.
Read a great book even if it makes me cry.
Photography. Whether it’s taking pictures or looking at them. At times, images really do speak louder than words.
Have a bath. The house I live in has a very sad, tiny bathroom and very small bathtub but I still enjoy my candlelit indulgence.
Throw a party. Yes, I do that a lot and I love hosting these raucous, drunken, silly, fabulously fun get-togethers. (Reminds me that I should do another one soon!)
Coffee with my friend. There’s one woman in particular I am talking about (I don’t really do the “coffee with friends” thing that much) and whenever we meet there are not enough hours in the day to run out of things to say. Thank you darling.
Put the world to rights with the love of my life. Often until the early hours, always uplifting.

So I want to take the opportunity today to thank all my friends, (best friend, radical blog friends, real-life friends, distant friends, lost friends, old and new friends) for making my world a better place to be. For teaching me to love and be loved. For being there through good and bad. For accepting me as I am, with all my strengths and flaws, with all my joy and sadness. For making my life much more fun than it would be without you.

Thank you to Brownfemipower for starting this much needed day weekend of fun
