My discipline with my coffee has gone completely out of the window today (not literally, don't worry). I had reached my third by much earlier today, I accept this, admit defeat, failure, and so hang my head in shame. However, as this blog is coffee-powered, one more shall be got. Decisions, hob-top Bialetti, cafetiere, or filter?.....

OK, weekly notes. Firstly, I want to apologise to the London Borough of Richmond, I feel that I have maybe been too harsh on them in the past, in terms of accessibility to wheelchairs. They are yet to give me a proper response regarding the faulty paving in Twickenham that caused my accident a couple of months ago, but hey. I was in Richmond earlier in the week, and registered the fact that a large percentage of shops had accessible step-less, shopfront entries (on the main high-street). RBK (Kingston) remains plenty of years ahead, in terms of accessibility, but Rchmond is not as bad as i initially thought.
I made the next note here in Surbiton, although it doesn't really matter. I am not trying to create a civil war!
I was totally flabbergasted earlier in the week, when a helmet-LESS cyclist hurtled past me (to be fair he was on the road). Tagged on the back was a helmet wearing young toddler encapsulated in a two-wheel, tent, buggy thing. He bombed around the corner (way too fast), swinging the tag-on buggy out!
I swore to myself, in my mind. As the baby is wearing a helmet does it really mean that the nutter doesn't need one, and can ride suicidally ?
...They lived..... i think
Next, music. Right, does anyone remember the wonderful phenomena of 'B-Sides'? I listened to Noel Gallagher, talking on 6music, about the greatness of an Oasis B-Side, 'Idler's Dream'. On listening, I realised that the concept of 'b-sides', or even EPs, is now lost completely by mp3s. I realise that I was cheating, experiencing these 'vinyl-named' songs, on CDs, but now there is hardly any reason for a 'B-side'. I was so lucky to be able to experience the joy of searching music shops for that 'rare B-Side'. People cannot get that now. If a song exists, Google will find it.
I found a fault with my smart new/old/new Iphone, the other day. I realise that 'touch-screen' devices have their advantages (fewer parts, more ethically sustainable), however i found a major seasonal flaw the other day. I cannot work my phone, in gloves!!!
Obvious maybe.
Warning family, avoid the following, it is not aimed for you.
I made the next note earlier in the week, do not feel so strongly now, but i did...
Usually it takes a quantity of negative effort to bring me down. Eg, I do get depressed about how little I socialise and make new friends, therefore girlfriends. But then I think, I'm 28, not a student anymore. I need to find work, to make some friends and socialise with them. Without this I cannot 'discover' anyone. I do not want to offend any of my 'old' friends. I love and cherish them all dearly, having stuck with me. Everyone goes on different paths of life/existence, I must find mine...
... and I know that I don't want to be single forever, living on benefits. :)
I never thought I would feel this, but I desperately want to be wanted by someone/work.
I need a purpose.
I am sad, I want to let myself be sad. BUT I CAN'T!!! GGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Things must change.
Cheer up. Enough of the tear jerking stuff, sorry. I made the note, so i write it.
Ialso want to cheer you all up, by sharing with you, the best overhead kick ever, better than Ibrahimovic's.
