The other kids in our road, they all knew each other already.  I didn’t know how to introduce myself, how to find my way into their group.  How do you get people to play with you when they don’t know you and you’re completely convinced that they don’t want to play with you and anyway…

I sat in the Bathtub That Must NOT Be Overfilled this morning and watched while the water ran away.  A tiny whirlpool formed above the plughole, but that wasn’t the first I noticed of it.  A single, bright, naked bulb shines above and slightly to the bather’s left (assuming that the bather assumes the traditional…

I’ve just done a quick count of the clothes that I’m carrying with me.  I don’t know why I hadn’t done it before, but hadn’t.  I suppose I packed in a hurry, concentrating more  on getting stuff into storage than what I was taking with me. So in my suitcase (plus what i’m wearing right…

I’m writing lots of notes, but I’m not doing much with them because they’re not well-formed enough to be blog posts or brief enough to be status updates.  I’m not happy with how much I’m “producing”.  I don’t desperately need to fix that by producing more but I do feel the need to get a…

I’m playing Angry Birds a lot.  Well it’s a lot by my 21st Century standards – nothing like the 1990 Tetris life-takeover, I’m certainly not dreaming about flinging birds from a catapult… yet. However, this lovely little (read highly addictive) game is reminding me a lot about how play helps us think about life.  Here…

On my walk today I crossed two bridges both of which seemed like reasonable shelter for a #llobo tonight.  Trouble is I can’t decide which one – the big wooden one has my vote at the moment, there’s a lot more space and branches with plenty of foliage to help create my bed.  The concrete…

I arrived at the counter at Robert Dyas a few moments before an elderly woman.  Clearly, as far as she was concerned she arrived there a few moments before me, as she put her four light bulbs on the counter and started talking to the cashier while rooting in her purse for money.  That reads…

I had two fear-based dreams last night.   In the first I had been the witness to some nefarious activity during which I had become involved with some police officers and now the criminals would be after me so I needed to stay hidden, keep off the street and have a police guard when I…

I realised today that I really like this sort of thing.  Taking wallpaper off, removing layers of paint.  I’m not that wild about the filling of cracks, sanding down and painting bits of decorating, but I love stripping away the old stuff. Sadly, the job I’ve got to do here this week only involves removing…
