Attend your own wake

Filed under: ideas — Tags: — Trefor Davies @ 8:15 pm

Don’t wait until you can’t attend the party. How many times are there when you get all your old mates together in the same room? Probably not since your wedding. Well now’s the chance. Don’t wait until you are dead. Conduct your own wake now. Chose the music, what you want to say about yourself, the venue!

Only problem is that if people know you aren’t actually dead will they come to the wake? Avoid the embarrassment of finding out who your real friends are by suggesting they have their own wake at the same time. That way they will definitely want to come.

The Funeral Service

Filed under: prose,thoughts — Trefor Davies @ 10:11 pm

The service was due to start at 2pm but by 1.40 if you weren’t already in you weren’t going to get a seat. We sat there in our Sunday funereal best biding our time. I was glad I had dressed soberly although I had considered doing otherwise. This didn’t stretch to a tie.

Post Office Tower – the view from the top

Filed under: the art gallery — Tags: , , — Trefor Davies @ 3:43 pm

The view from the top of the Post Office Tower on a not very nice day in January.  There were some snow flurries though I’m not sure these are visible on the video – take a look.  The three videos represent a 360 degree tour.

I woke up

Filed under: the art gallery — Trefor Davies @ 9:21 am

It was a strange experience because one second I was asleep and the next I was not, as if someone had just pressed the “on” button on a remote control. I lay there motionless with my body in the position it had been in whilst asleep. Anne was dead to the world beside me. Nobody could have seen that I was awake. In fact I’m not even sure that I opened my eyes but I was totally aware of my surroundings and I knew I was definitely no longer asleep. I considered that my own snoring had probably woken me, I could almost hear the echo of the last reverberation, subliminal. After an unspecified amount of time I drifted off again.
