Had a great time with family in Devon! Was really nice to meet and get to know numerous cousins and other relations. Got really drunk each night which was fun and then stayed up to unhealthy hours in the morning! The sea was gorgeous and the waves were choppy and frothy and although swallowing gallons of the salty stuff, it was nice experience.

Bought two books while there - somehow buying stuff is more tempting on holiday - a biography of Michael Jackson (Really in depth = very big book!) and Russel Brands autobiography ('My Booky Wook') I started both and they're both really interesting and Russel's is - of course - very humorous!

Had a lovely day today. Met up with F and family. Eat supermarket food in Tubby's and then went for a short walk. Thank goodness the weather has improved!

I love the sun around 8pm when it's a tangerine colour. That's the best time to photograph nature as everything gains an mango-coloured glow.



Sex - a question ...
(WARNING: contains adult content!)

What is it about sex?
Why does every adolescent crave it?
Those who have it at a young age tend to regret it or realise how it fucked things up for them.
Seriously, sex in early teens (13+) why the need?
Sex is a mature understanding between two trusting people and shouldn't be an adolescent aspiration? It's like, when you're young you think it's 'cool' to go to bed as late as possible and then, as one matures, you realise that getting an early night is something that you look forward to and you understand that sleep is very important. More to the point, If teenagers think of sex as an accessory to become 'cool' where do they get this impression? Peer pressure? maybe, but my guess is the media. Lyrics for songs, music videos, Films, magazines, adverts all have sexual suggestions of sex; women in underwear, sex lines, sluttish pictures and vocal innuendo. Most of these make sex out to be something to aspire to and indeed sexual harassment in schools has gone up. So imagine what the world will be like for your ancestors... A world ruled by sexual harassment, random sex ending in a pornographic way and a huge increase of STD's. Porn films are even worse as they seem to make sex out to be a quick fiddle that ends with jizz on the woman's breasts. Maybe sex needs to change? Maybe it shouldn't be a sensual time of pleasure and bliss? Maybe it should be a quickie mixed with an STD and an unwanted child?

Would love to hear your views and thoughts...
