What have you been up to since Monday morning? I thought I might share a little snapshot of my week thus far. Maybe you will do the same. It’s funny how much happens in just a few days when you think on it.
In the last four days, I’ve:
- Watched two paddle boarders silhouetted against the evening sky
- Bicycled a mile on a very flat tyre
- Vaguely attempted to make a broken hi-fi make sound and failed
- Given out 93 business cards with the Samaritans telephone number on the back
- Watched ‘Be Your Own Pet’ with friends
- Had my left foot stamped on by a very large man
- Received a personal email that made me feel sad
- Been told that my hands were on TV, but failed to see them myself
- Talked at ease with approximately 200 strangers
- Been asked if I am more than 18 years of age
- Gained immense pleasure from watching ‘Peter and the Wolf’ (US solo artist) with My Geek
- Received a signed contract to create another website to thrust into the world
- Listened to a very young man reminisce about the days before his children were born; the days before he went into prison
- Watched our cat spend her first days ever in the great outdoors
- Suffered the single most painful moment of my life thus far
- Spoken with a lady who spent ten hours carrying her dead mother in her arms, in Northern Africa, not knowing what to do
- Experienced mixed feelings about our cat's gift to us on her sixth day of freedom; a wounded live bird that left blood smears on the window
- Watched a young man playing with pipe cleaners, and a 'make your own' furry bug kit, as he talked about his time in foster homes and the devil bitch that bore his first
- Sat on a child’s chair in a room full of adults doing the same
- Watched the first two episodes of 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perin'
- Discovered that vegan fudge is now for sale and put it in the cupboard for later
- Experienced the fear that 'vegan fudge for sale' won’t be as good as my imagination tells me it will be
- Unclipped the security barrier at ‘Future of the Left’ and let the people and the band be as one
- Let my insides eat themselves in a wonderful fit of sonic pleasure, as 'Colin is a Pussy' bounced about my ears
- Felt glad that my insides haven't really been digested, and it was just the bass guitar
- Rejoiced in the fact that I'm in perfect working order to do nothing and enjoy it, and celebrated my freedom to do exactly that.
I hope you enjoyed my week so far. I did and it’s only Thursday. It’s time to get ready for Friday and a full day of birthday celebrations. Not mine, but near enough. I'm not working; I'm having fun!

This week I have been mostly reading other people's blogs. It helps pass the time until death's sweet release.
