You tell me to live each day
as if it were my last. This is in the kitchen
where before coffee I complain
of the day ahead—that obstacle race
of minutes and hours,
grocery stores and doctors.
You grind the coffee
with the small roar of a mind
trying to clear itself. I set
the table, glance out the window
where dew has baptized every
living surface.
Linda Pastan (2015)
4 All those books I've bought but not read... There's a word for that apparently - tsundoku 5 How The Beatles logo came about Roll up, roll up, read all the news about it, oh boy!
Another difficult week for interweb activities as my senses this week were largely engaged in work related subjects. Then I bought an HP printer and spent a large amount of time on Saturday (my JFTT day) trying to get it to connect and do basic things. Grrr. Why are these things so complicated now? So this week's addition is late. Sorry 'bout that, chief. In fact this week I HAVE felt a lot like Maxwell Smart - some clumsy bumbling daft moments. Ar well. You get that on the big jobs. On to the jewels... 2 King Arthur - Legend of the Sword
Guy Ritchie's style is instantly recognisable. As I watched his Good Fellas take on the Arthurian legend I wondered about how Margo would have reacted. I think she'd have loved it! 3 Underground
One of the week's highlights was getting the train into Londonium a few times and riding the Underground. I. Love. The. Underground!! For some reason waiting for a District or Circle line train at Monument gets me very emotional. Weird. 4 Emirates
Met up with Randy and Patrick at Emirates last week to watch my team take on and beat Everton. From a Director's box no less. Glorious sounds!! We're north bank, we're north bank, we're north bank Highbury! 5 Ponti's Italian Kitchen
We had dinner here on Friday night with old friends from Nu Zild - Steph and Duncan. I've been there loads of times but by Friday night my brain was fried and I forget A) where it was and B) its name. Eventually the fog cleared and we got there! It's a cool place with lovely food. Overtime Frank Zappa - Roxy By Proxy This was on high rotate in the Purdmobile this week.
