I am currently sat in a café in crouch end listening to David Bowie ask me if there is life on mars, and I am feeling the most content and positive in a while. I presume that's because it is International Day of Happiness today and just knowing that there is a day for that is enough to make any one smile.

Before I carry on with todays blog which you probably know by now is about The Stone Roses, I wanted to let you guys in with a little secret. I have been writing a journal since the age of 21 and only recently after showing it to my boyfriend and my best friend have realised how good I actually am at writing creatively. Its a difficult thing to actually admit publicly that you think you're good at something without feeling extremely big headed. It's decided today that I am going to incorporate my journal into my blog, its your decision purely whether you read it or not, whether it is good or not etc. etc. So if you're reading this then THANKS :)
