The Last Post
31/12/2004 11:52 amThings are looking up. It was a crisp and crunchy morning and the Iz woke up feeling chirpy and cheery - not a common occurance lately - especially after the recent sauna solstice.
Iz has the sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with tossing the traces of vile Vernon into online LJ exile. He can take up all the space he likes there instead of lurking between the Izzie ears as a most vile venomous hissing voice of misery and hatred.
So - it is now nearly midday. The Iz went and picked up her mystery parcel from the local post office and headed back to the Lair in time to hear the very very last episode of Anna Funder's amazing and uber-scary "Stasiland"
Oh - the memories.
After that, was time to water the weeds and pile up the parmesan, sundried tomatoes and basil on the panini rolls that the Iz is having for lunch. Next stop is the 555 bus which will bring Iz to her favorite haunt of St Brutus. But before there we will stop in the bookshop having the 20% off all books sale and hope they still have their copy of "The Magic Shield - A manual for defence against the Dark Arts"
Will have a panini picnic at St Brutus under the plane trees and plot evil schemes for 2005. It's the favorite Izzie place for squiggling in the evil green spiral diary - reviewing the year and musing and mumbling and possibly being once again visited by the Guardians of the Green Light. Izzie has had some inspiration since about what happened since the last time back in January 2002.
After that, it's off to Cottesloe Beach for the final sunset of the year and the one absolutely and utterly essential ritual of finally saying farewell to this year of goodbyes and death and destruction, both inside and outside of the Izzie circle of friends and fairy godmothers.
Vernon will need to be put in his box - like we did with Petunia way back in Jan 2002 and it will be time to call upon the now dormant Izzie spirit helpers - a certain bird and serpent.
Yesss. Iz looks forward to the departure of this year and already is feeling hopeful about some new beginnings.
So a safe and happy new year to those who still remain on this earth after the last eventful and traumatic week.
