I used to think that this was the best bed in the world. No more. Tonight, when I go to bed, I’m going to dream that I am in this bed. in this wood. I might never wake up.
Having had a little cry at the sweet lion video earlier I have since watched the feature documentary, ‘Christian The Lion’, on You Tube. It’s amazing. Christian was bought by two Australians in London from Harrods in 1969. How insane does that seem now. He got too big for their flat and, along with Bill Travers from ‘Born Free’, they managed to get him back to Africa to be reintroduced into the wild, with the help of George Adamson, who rehabilitated and lived with lions and was the subject of ‘Born Free’. George is credited on Wikipedia as being one of the founding fathers of wildlife conservation. He was killed by poachers in 1989. Amazing man. You should watch the doc.
“What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?” Rob, High Fidelity

I'm hannah. I'm 30. I live in Clerkenwell; Oliver Twist's stomping ground in central London village. I used to work for an evil record company and now I'm back at University learning about computers. This here is a collection of sequential gubbins from my mind and the interweb.
