Ben called Marcus (it's a long story).
Marcus took a picture of what he was doing at that time of the call.
And then Ben took a picture of what I was doing, which is above.
So we did that, then blogged about it.
I think, and I fully accept that I could be wrong, that this is what the internet was invented for.
I notice this poster stuck to a tree today. It would appear that someone has lost their cat, which is always sad. But I felt a little sadder about this cat when I read the description "...very friendly but a bit thick". How could you not love a cat like that. And look at him in that picture, all poised to do something very sociable and a little dumb.
So, if you seem him out there please do spend a little time with him, have a chat, pass a little of the day (he likes that). But do make sure you point him in the direction of home when you're done nattering (you might need to tell him a few times - he's not the whole pound).
Rode my bike to and from work yesterday, and just rode in today. And I had a salad for dinner. This is going to be a cinch. Oh, and I booked a doctor's appointment for next week.
Now I need to get in a cage.
I was out and about early this morning, getting a high powered business meeting in with those in the know. Normally I'm very focused in these types of business scenarios (it's what I do). But today I was distracted. Put off. It might have something to do with that new hour we were given overnight, or maybe the mixed messages I was confronted with on my way to coffee.
Debenhams are ready for Christmas, ignoring the fact that it's still October, shouting it loud and proud.
Bar Italia are more in the here and now, or the here and very soon.
Russell was blinded by optimism, unable to let go of the summer.
Other's were simply thinking about our shared fate, and expressing it florally.
I didn't know what to make of it all. Though I was somewhat relieved by the sight of a man reading a book that I think he himself authored many years previously.
I asked him if the book was good and how long ago it was since he wrote it, he asked me to mind my own business. Which I did.
Was riding the bus today and managed to get a seat at the front, which is always a good thing. You know - special. As I sat there perched high I started thinking about the things I want to get done next week, a 'to do' list if you will. Blogs are good for this, for creating incentives. Of course they're not 100% fool proof, but what is.
So what would I put on my list?
Top of the list has to be sorting my knee problems out. I tried running again this week, and I was in pain for two days after just a short 3 mile run. So I'm going to go to the doctor's on Monday and get a note to see a physio. I've already spoken to my medical provider and they seemed up for helping (which is nice of them). I'd like to run again, pain free, that would be amazing, something I don't quite believe could be possible ever again. We'll see.
I also need to see a dentist. There is no emergency, like the knee thing, nothing is falling out. But I haven't been for ages, years in fact, and it would be good to check all is as it should be. I'm getting older now, so body stuff is not as strong as it once was.
Eating better, that should go on a list too. Of course this is the ongoing promise we all make to ourselves on a constant basis - 'I must eat more healthy food'. But I've been bad recently. Too many late nights working and not planning properly, so I end up buying rubbish from the shops. Next week I intend to eat more fruit and more greens. Oh, and less bad fat.
Finally, read more.
Go fighting at least once.
Cycle most of the time.
That's it. Let's see what happens.
(If I were you I'd try and get that seat at the front of the bus, it's a good place to think, and you get chucked about when you go around corners, in a good way.)
Sock wise I'm not focused at the moment, but it'll come back I'm sure.
...has gone.
Apart from those three people, who seem to be nervously leaving the area.
Normally the road outside the office where I work is a buseling metropolis, packed full of tourists visiting the area. Finding out exactly where it was that Jack The Ripper tore his victims bodies apart. Or hunting out the latest in Barley wear fashion (mock NHS glasses and silver winkelpickers seem popular at the moment).
But it's quiet today. Maybe it's the credit crunch, maybe it's something else, a new ripper or something.
Either way, I'll be keeping an eye on things.
The best companion you can get.
Maybe it's time to try the knee again tomorrow...
Got some storage action going on at the moment, so I've been hanging out at Big Yellow Storage quite a bit. In some regards it's quite cool. You get given loads of codes, instructions, and a padlock. You're also allowed, for a small extra charge, to visit after hours.
But be warned - it's extremely eerie. Nothing but hallway after hallway of identical doors, and Christmas music playing. When I took the picture above a camera moved, adjusting to get a better view of me.
I ran away screaming.
