Hello,
I have quite
a few notes to discuss this week. Hmmm, I am finding that although I want type
this now (Friday morning), it does require some energy, which I do not have or
want to expend before my physiotherapy session, later today.
Cheerio!
;)
OK, I have a
bit of time to spare before I head out in the rain again! My final note, made
as I’ve just been out and had a coffee.
I find myself smiling immediately as
it is raining!
Summer sun
has disappeared this morning, and we are reminded that we are in England! I
don’t know whether I smile because I enjoy the rainfall (refreshing, purity),
or because everyone else is grimacing, I want to be different!? I am unsure.
I was
welcomed by the builders/workmen around on the main high street, as I passed, as
always. Surprisingly one offered his views on the ‘alternate weather’…
'Sh*t weather, ain’t it?'
OK, it can’t
be much fun at work, outside, in the rain. However, I am flummoxed by
everyone’s dismal attitude towards water in the sky.
Physio…
… Late
afternoon. Usual ‘Blog time’. I continue. My first note is perhaps
unsurprisingly, about music. I went shopping, earlier in the week. My plan was
to buy the downloadable mp3, of Sigur Ros, but to feed my old love of ‘CD
buying’ with attaining the new, debut album, by Nadine Shah, ‘Love your Dum and
Mad’. I was in the one cd shop I have left, but unsurprisingly they didn’t have
this in stock. Neither did they have the Sigur Ros that I was after. I left
sulking. I downloaded both when I got home.
I give you
the example of Nadine Shah, from Youtube. It is good quality, although, it may
be heard on one listen as quite deep and dark!
My comment on
coffee this week, is such…
Machiatto plus water does NOT equal a
cappuccino, in the same way as an espresso/Americano.
The above
comment is fairly self explanatory. I use it just to warn me against making
this error again!
My next note
was made on Monday 2nd September (aka transfer deadline day). Big
mews was surrounding Gareth Bale, who moved in a very wise direction, away from
White Hart Lane, towards Madrid.
Bale 56p a second, hmmm good, but I've
done better!
I was then
told the above fact, of his earnings. 56p per second! Hmmm, pretty good. Lucky
man. Although I remain safe in the knowledge that he is not as lucky as me,
no-one ever will be. Everyone’s luck should be relative to their own
experiences. Hmmm mmmm. I could go on and on, but I fear will be sounding
arrogant, self-righteous, and stupid. So, no.
I typed the
next note on my phone, aiming to calm myself down, as it caused me to become
irate!
Effin' NUMBNUT bike rider!!
A bike rider overtook me whilst
cycling on the 'no cycling' riverside path, he walked across the zebra crossing
on the road, then cycled away down the pavement!!
I need a deep breath. Tut
He is not a cyclist, he is a bike
rider, but he will give EVERYONE who owns a bike, a bad name. Grrr
I will not
explain it as it will cause me unnecessary stress to re-live it!
Instead, a
bit of fun. Follow the link:
After I
missed a session of physiotherapy on Tuesday, I had the day free, so enjoyed
the sunny weather, and took myself on a trip to South Kensington (via train to
Clapham Junction, and then bus). I enjoyed my free time, having a coffee in a
café close to the wonderful tube station. I must admit that I enjoyed a fair
bit of ‘people watching’ in this beautiful area of West London.
I was
prepared and ready, but all of the planning needed on such a trip in a
wheelchair, means that one cannot change their mind mid journey. For example,
as soon as you board a train in a wheelchair, you must tell the staff where you
will disembark, you cannot choose mid-journey! Not a big problem, but something
wheelchair users have to consider, unlike everyone else!
My blog this
week, starts annd finishes on the same topic , ‘music’. Maybe I buy too much,
but hey.
I went to the
cd shop for a second time this week, in search of the Placebo EP released last
year. Hmmmm. No surprise, I fail. However, I do stumble upon the new Mark
Lanegan album, ‘Black Pudding’. It is quality, and definitely one of my
favourite of the year so far.
