Hello,
No crazy
introductions this week, I’ve only just started my coffee, so I apologise if I
bore you to tears!
Straight
in. My first note, is to promote
the new album of Alela Diane, ‘About Farewell’.
For those
who don’t know, it is her second album (I think, although I am not confident), and in my opinion, just as
good as the first. As you probably guess, she is my sort of ‘thing’ (solo,
female singer songwriter, acoustic, folky). Have a listen…
I have been
feeling lucky this past week, long may it continue!
'Well, now's the time when you've
gotta ask yourself one question.'
I realized that whilst I easily throw
out compliments, to those who I feel deserve them, I actually seem to rarely
receive them in the same fashion. Although, as I crossed the road in Kingston
in front of a motorbike, the rider just exclaimed whilst letting me cross,
'Good socks'!!
??? what?
Then, once
crossed, I looked down, and ‘joy’. I was in my ‘Francaise Des Jeux cycling
socks’. I have received derogatory comments about them, and I’m not too
bothered. But for someone, to see them, recognize what they are, made my day.
Cycling socks, of a French team (sponsored by the national lottery), worn by an
English wheelchair user? Random, but recognized by someone!!
I was in the shower, when
'CRASH'
I heard the breeze enter through the
open window, making the window curtain send my mirror flying! I despaired,
thinking that my run of luck had finished, signalled by a broken mirror. I
finished my shower knowing that I wouldn't be able to fix my mirror. I checked,
it lay in the sink, in perfect condition! Overjoyed, I realised that I turn 29
in a week of very good luck. I was born 29 years ago, come this week's end.
24th hour, sunday 11th August.
The large
problem that I discovered last week, with my flat’s plumbing, was fixed fully
on Tuesday, and I took this opportunity to have (a mini version only), a very
delayed ‘spring clean’! My excuse is that my spring clean was delayed, as we
only just experience a very late change of season! Sort of.
Positive thoughts and attitudes breed
positive thoughts and attitudes. A smile is the best way to portray such.
:)
Although I
have made two different notes shown above and below, both issues, are
considered regularly by myself.
Hmmm, do i rely on my dreams too much?
One must have aims and targets, but is
it good to dream too much?
Hmmm mmmmmm
Am I a perfectionist? Can perfection
really exist?
I continue by
giving two pictures. The arty photo of Surbiton Station was actually taken last
week but as I feel it merits it’s inclusion, I include it. The second photo is
of a professional cyclist in the Pru London-Surrey Cycle Classic, in front of
the Town Hall in Kingston.
A long way for a cup of coffee, but
worth it!
My final note
(above), was made earlier today. A free day, as my physiotherapy got cancelled,
I decided to give myself a birthday present. I took myself up to Soho, sitting
in the sun enjoying a coffee at The Bar Italia. I enjoyed London in the summer time.
They know what perfection is!
