So I read today that a state funeral is planned for Thatcher! i can't think of anything more insulting to be very honest and really don't believe this woman is deserving of a state funeral! Check out the link about this but I ain't in no shape or form happy about it if this is granted and no doubt, many of the left leaning of the Brit population won't be either!

Tracey Emin is exhibiting in Edinburgh until November. I'd really love to see this exhibition; I think Emin is a fantastic artist. Not only does she have guts, nouse and talent, she also refuses money for work and I quote...
"Yesterday Emin revealed that she had been offered £1m to remake the tent, but had refused. The offer had come by way of the insurance company of collector Charles Saatchi, who owned the work at the time of its destruction. "I have never, ever done anything for the money," she said. Making the tent again, out of its time, seemed wrong. It feels needed here, to complete a circle; yet, at the same time, its absence is appropriate in an exhibition where so much of the material relates to loss, to the impossibility of memory's recovery, to an unrealisable desire to change the past.
I salute this woman wholeheartedly, as I also do regarding her view about love and sex..her description about making love replicates my own views about such an intimate act with another person and what a truly delightful account of how she feels on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. There aren't many in life who you meet whereby this feeling is apparent and when it is, it's pure bliss! I always feel that making love with someone is only right when the 'head' is truly into what is happening..without this, making love isn't making love but a mechanical, empty act..Anyway, read her wonderful description
"When I'm having sex and being fucked and I disappear into the ether and it's amazing, I feel like I am being crucified; and it makes me feel of Jesus and how he is supposed to represent love. When you really feel love for someone you go to another place - and that level of ecstasy could be heaven. There's nothing blasphemous about it - it's absolutely genuine. Making love and being in love are just fantastic. It should happen more often."
I depart the UK shores tomorrow for Greece and I 'm nervously excited! I want to see so much when I'm there but I also need to chill and kick back quite a bit. I'd love to get to see Hydra and Aphea on Ageana..we'll see!
