Tharr she blows!
The boy surprised me today with a trip to our local 'Cemetry Gates'. It was a pretty big-ass one. I'd never really walked around a cemetary before, I found it really interested and thought provoking. A nice 'I don't really mind that you like Moz way more than me and look, I'm trying to make an effort' gesture from the boy too.
The graves went back to 1846, I found the changes in styles of graves from that time onwards fascinating (haha, now I sound like a right weirdo!).
There were no graves of any one I knew there. In the end we spent over two hours just walking about and reading the grave stones. I kept expecting to feel a bit creeped out but I never did, it didn't feel weird at all.
Does anyone else take ocassional strolls through cemetaries?
Oh, the most gross thing was when we clambered out through a hole in the fence there were two used condoms and their packets strewed about over the floor. Now that I find just a teeny bit creepy. At least they were safe though!
It also got me to thinking - what songs would you have played at your funeral? I found it really hard to think of songs that weren't punny - You Have Killed Me, Lust For Life etc. I ended up deciding it'd be something but Grateful Dead but even their name is inappropriate.
Everyone will have to wear tie-dye at my funeral too.
