Just had a good look at the garden….Holy Shit! Erm, weeds? Yes, dead plants? A few, the lawn is not only growing up it’s growing outwards, amongst the beds. This garden is my Mum’s pride and joy and under the current circumstances it would have been best to keep it under control. My Nephew had the job of watering and I haven’t seen him for dust, maybe he thought he could have had water fights with the hosepipe. Currently here in the south of England there is a hosepipe ban, I think that means you’re not allowed to use one as apposed to actually own one, there hasn’t been a national hosepipe amnesty enforced by the police for as long as I can remember. So I’ve been popping round with a watering can when I have the time. This weekend looks like it will be out in the sunshine in shorts, gardening…Wahey!

OK, time to add an entry to my blog, before it all goes tits up again!!! I’d changed all the attributes to the files on my webserver all to the same value not realising there were different attributes for various files, I did this as I feared someone might infiltrate my blog and write something of interest, what I did was intended to close all the files and set them to read only, which worked except not even I could get in there and the web page threw up some bizarre error message. After minutes of fiddling swapping files from an archive I have on my hard drive, I consulted the powers of the insurmountable Chain. Actually it was him who pointed out the error whilst I was buggering it all up in the first place, good timing. Well it’s all back now and as I sit here with the side of my face throbbing like a…large thing that throbs alot, I consider the consequences of my actions over the past 2 weeks…and I chuckle.
Wimbledon Tennis this week, which I can watch, I’m not addicted to it to the point where I have to watch game after game, but I do like to have it on in the background. Unlike football that just irritates me beyond control, if I walk into a pub and a football game is on, not world cup tho btw but some dreary league game on a dismal sunday afternoon, with a group of smelly old men sitting at the bar staring in silence, one hand on thigh, the other gripping a pint of bitter still on the bar, I’d leave. Dunno what it is about football that really cheeses me off…not cheesey footballs surely?
On another note I am now actively seeking employment and will be going for what I want to do as apposed to what pays well. No point in a good salary if you dread getting up to earn it. I’ll leave it there otherwise the post will get too long, it’s already boring and will gradually deteriorate from here i’m sure.

Please ignore this as I’m sure you were going to anyway.

Currently a bizarre set of circumstances are influencing my way of being at the moment, I wont go into reasons otherwise I might as well publish it in softback. Having said that though, I know can’t think of what I should write now…Bit of a non-event I spose, highlight being Friday night chatting to Cam, very much on my level and makes me realise how really wierd I am! Or not so, as the case may be, depending on where you are spectating from.
One episode that has stuck in my mind this week, except the Jehova’s…An old mate jogging along the seafront, exit the vehicle to say hello… “Hi Dean, how you doing mate?!”
Answer as he continues jogging on, “Alot better than you by the looks.” Hmmmm Comments more than welcome.

It’s always best to end with a quote. There is always someone else who has always said it better so it cannot be topped.
We are not enimies but friends, we must not be enimies, though passion is strength we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell, and again touched…but sureley they will be, by the better angels of our nature…

Well…the fact is at the moment I feel quite mortal, my auntie has passed away who I loved very much, more so my Mother who was closer than anyone to her is devastated…These things are sent to test us, life is not necessarily cruel as we know what to expect most of the time, we are given fair warning, but that cannot fill the void, memories are all that remain I believe this is how people live on. But there is a higher state of conciousness that pisses all over what we think we know, it’s whether it’s available to you and me when we die. Bizzarely had some Jehova’s Witnesses at the door this morning, actually caught me in the wrong mood, rather than tell them to bog off I engaged in conversation about the moon being hollow and the reason for perfectly round craters…as they showed exerpts from the Bible and trying to convert me….HAHA…They would have a task in hand there. I politely explained my differences and the dissapeared Watchtower in hand.
On a lighter note, saturday eveing went very well… Guitar hero, singstar and dance mat mayhem ruled the night…
Must admit I lost control of my fingers towards the end as Chain forced me to drink a rather potent red wine…;)

Well it’s about time I added another exciting episode into my ever enthrawling blog ((((yawn!)))) Well this week I’ve been working really, I have hit the gym big time this week taking just one day out! Thursday when we played those guys from the Carribean, I was actually quite shocked that they played quite well, even after all those spliffs maan! BTW that is as about as deep as I will EVER get into football, nuff said…
I visited Chain and Angel earlier this week, nice wall effect! Angel dished up some Spag Bol mightily received as I had starved myself, except a sausage and egg muffin from the unmentionable burger retailer that AM. Erm no word from the parents, it maybe so that they have been abducted by a gang of Islamic Fundamentalist Kangaroos who are currently debating a ransom, probably bark, insects, leaves, fruits and roots. Which is apparently, what they eat…But there maybe the odd Jihad Kanga who may insist he explodes himself for the sake of 40 virgin kangaroos. It is a strange world we inhabit. Sure I’ll hear from them soon, before they come home hopefully as I have kinda re-arranged the house to suit me a bit… And need to mow the damn lawn! Its hovering at between ankle and knee height at mo, hmmm… knee height sounds bad and its only got half a shin to go.
Today (Friday) was not bad really, had a nice drive back along the B269 and on into ashdown forest, one good thing about driving alot is you find back ways to avoid anywhere and they are normally very picturesque. Gave Chain a shout on 2 meters from the top of the forest and heard someone reply! Turns out it was actually Chain with very quite audio, I thought it was some dude trying for a signal report, so I basically ignored it. Wasn’t until Boship roundabout (9 miles from Chain) that I actually realised it was him coming back to me after all. Ashdown Forest incidentally is a respectable 30 miles in comparison, sad you may think but if you had witnessed the bodge up on my mobile antenna not 2 days ago, you would be impressed.
Me and my life…ok, spose. Looking forward to tomorrow at Chain and Angels, I may have a beer or two and participate in some PS2 Fuelled LUNACY!!!! Till then…bfn

I don’t like to unnecessarily complicate things though I can handle complexity, If it aint broke don’t fix it is one of my motto’s although modifications and improvements to it is something else altogether. I think deeply and I can talk at the same time, anything nature has to offer intrigues me celebrity bores me. Slightly fed up with it all, which is not good as it saps what little motivation I have, which means I end up doing sod all about it. Need a goal…Thought about going to college…Again! (the thought bit not going to college) I certainly cannot carry on the same as I do, my life so far has been abundant with perpetual change, sometimes my own doing sometimes other influences, but different from year to year. The thought of getting a mortgage and forcing myself to work at some shitty job I don’t want to do worries the piss outa me, I aint built that way…In fact I might go and live in a forest somewhere and survive by drinking rain water and eating stinging nettles!
Oh and Happy Birthday Yvey!!!

Been really tired so far this week, trouble dragging my arse out of bed in the mornings. Not sure why, just seems to make everything hard work, weather’s been good though nice and warm but not hot, I cant stand humid weather unless I’m in shorts with nothing to be done and a bar no far from sight. Apparrently getting hotter towards the weekend, we’ll see. Had some dick head decide to drive into the side of me yesterday (Wednesday) and then blame me as he was indicating! I just switched off, got his details and said well we’ll see what the insurers say, got back in the van and drove off leaving him picking up peices of his door mirror from the road. Actually have spoken to Chain this week, it all began on the 6th at 5.45pm, seems he hasn’t eloped with the Jamaican woman up the road he was stripping wallpaper. Right I better get off my bum and go forth and pretend to be a Service Engineer for a few hours, I’m in Coulsden today, must admit I’m getting a bit unhappy about work, I only wish I’d followed my passion, I always dreaded the thought of going into plumbing, although this isn’t really plumbing it stinks of it sometimes.

Sunday was really just a day of housework…! Then rewarded myself by wandering to the pub and buying a pint or two of Directors, Jon the plumber came in and had a natter then started boggling my mind with geometrics, tetrahedrons and dodecahedrons, I managed to follow some of it but my eyes soon glazed over. All in all a naff day.
