So, I needed some bits

So, I needed some bits and pieces for my laptop so I could enjoy connectivity whilst in the US. Having shopped around, I ordered them from Dell, as they were cheaper even than dabs.com. I fly on Saturday. Today I find that expected delivery date is next Monday. guh.
So it looks like I’ll have to get at least the basics locally, a US/UK electricity adapter and a RJ-11 to RJ-11 cable.

I’ve got a bit of

I’ve got a bit of a headache and I’m stiff and in need of a massage. These are signs that I’ve had too much to drink over the weekend and that I’m a bit stressed out.
It’s strange. I was pretty much convinced that everything was going to work out this year. So far, it’s gone steamingly well. In fact, I think that, apart from my personal life, everything has been good this year. If I could just fix that element of life, then everything would be fantastic. Maybe I try too hard?

Beer tonight with Paul F,

Beer tonight with Paul F, Arron and Nikki. Also heard was Russell from Maximum High doing his acoustic Paul Weller set in W2, but since you could barely get in the door, I decided not to stay.

Sitting in Priory Park, enjoying

Sitting in Priory Park, enjoying the sun and the view and watching people going about their Sunday afternoon activities from the vantage point of my favourite bench atop the wall at the south east corner of the park, a small child, no more than four or five, scampered up nearby. I’d seen him playing with a couple, who were either older siblings or his very young parents, who were sat in the centre of the cricket pitch, eyeing him lazily through their sunglasses. The child stood there, took off his sandals whilst muttering under his breath, and threw them down the embankment onto the floor of the park. He then said "This way!" before scuffling along the footway along the top of the wall, barefoot, muttering "ooh, eeh, aaah, oohh" as he made his way along the hot tarmac.
Across the park came the shouted command: "Alistair! Pick your shoes up or else!"
Good luck, kid.

Well. Hmm. What a strange

Well. Hmm. What a strange world we live in.
"What next?" is the inevitable question. Goodness knows, but I think I can be sure that I’ll be looking for more conventional things in the future.
Sorry to obfuscate quite so much. There’s not much more I can say.

So, after lunch of scrambled egg with salmon on toast, I think I shall go for a walk. I need to get outside more, away from the computer, and back into my old ways of regular exercise and enjoying my own company. At least I know that is real, and usually isn’t too weird.

I’m currently stood outside Thursday’s

I’m currently stood outside Thursday’s nightclub. Big up to Bren, Greg, Kearn, Arron, Jo, Wanda, Julie, Andy, Andy and Andrew. I’m eating an overpriced burger at nearly 1am whilst exchanging text messages with people far away. This place is full of young flesh and it isn’t attractive. As I say, a strange weekend.
