Double Choc Chip Bubble Gum Muffins

It’s another morning filled with the invasion of an illuminating rosé fog, as the sun rises between the trees. The air is fresh, so fresh you can feel the thickness of the cold air breach through your nostrils. The stirring fire place next-door emits a dark cloud into the fog. As it leaves the chimney it becomes entangled into the thickness of the foggy dew. Like the bond between water and oil this smoggy fog of blackened smoke becomes trapped amongst the fluffiness of cold pre-winter morning.

As I travel down the 4km stretch I repeatedly double tap my iPod Nano, shuffling from one song to the next. I listen to the beginning and introductions of each song; each one having a story of its own! Each one having a memory embedded within, they reflect the past; days, months and years. Each song symbolizing its own reputation of its own power and hold over my life… driving a 5 speed manual down the road suddenly becomes something of simplicity. Each shuffle is a flash, each beat is a time jump and each alliance of lyrics is a metaphor for my own realities.

It’s funny as I was just listening to one of the songs which influenced my early blogging days! And my playlist was crafted from my blogs and is titled as “Blog”. So now that I think of it each song has had a memory tied to its roots… obviously some better than others and some quite challenging but they are all bounded by memories which have helped make me who I am today. The best part is, I can now skip these songs and move on to something more my style or mood.

Speaking of memories, as per request for a mention, the following paragraph is all about Ducky.

One thing you realise when growing up is who your true friends really are and yes I know times get tough and know times get busy, but one thing that always remains with a true friend are the memories, the moments and all the happy times, but most of all is; even if you don’t see each other for however long it is.. You can always pick up from where you left off, as if it was just another day without common communication. So with that said Ducky is most defiantly one of those friends – who unfortunately I don’t see enough but when I do, there is always the swapping of smiles, hugs and chats, which will always last for ever! Miss ya Kiddo!

Oh and I made these tonight!
