Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

Christmas Soundtrack Day 11 - Underneath the Tree

Once again, this post won’t be long. I have a lot to do. It is 10:30pm but I can’t imagine I’ll be going to bed any time soon.

Today I have written 53 very short (and possibly very shit) poems for Chris’ scrapbook. I also collected lots of other bits to go with them.

Poems written, I was just about to turn up the music and start cutting and sticking. But my best friend called asking for help with moving out of her house. Hence, I have a lot to do. It doesn’t help that, as of tomorrow, people will invade my home and space!

My best friend attracts bad luck. Fact! I’m not sure how, but she is never without trouble – especially at Christmas. This year is no exception. I won’t go into detail, but I am very proud of her for (nearly) sorting everything out.

The artist of my track today, would not normally feature on any play list of mine. Ever. But whenever my friend is having a really tough time, this artist’s songs will always be heard. Therefore, when this track came on the radio as I was driving to help my friend with her biggest challenge yet, I had no choice; I needed to include it today…
