Another Week 67 - Debt, Winter Watch, Trump, Siri and

Plastic rain bonnets

I fell in love with a season
a moment.;
the moment's gone.,
there's a new season..

Today's one of those kind of days.; some days, I simply don't get.. and today is one of those days I just don't get.. Hmm..(?), dunno why., just..

Twaddle

Well., maybe it's how you write.., maybe it's what you write.., or basically, it's just how you see life..; ok, ok, I know.., who understands my view..! I get it, I get it., but man., dudette.., you guys are 'out there'..  - what's a guy to do., when there's nothing but a ''ball of confusion., of yeah, that's what the world is today..''

This is just a load of ole distracted thoughts., distracted bits of what's going on., but I seriously think that what's going on 'out there' is how you see 'real' .. and if that's real, I'm bewildered.., man.. - There's the ole political take., there's the ole spiritual take.., there's the ole literary/artistic take., the ole travel take.., there's the ole life take.., but the reality of it all is that there's always Bali from £429.. and that's a fact..; another fact is ... perhaps I just need to walk.., baby..

Sometimes life is just a bunch of coconuts

• Today

  Squally, showery rain will soon clear eastwards, then a generally windy and unsettled day, with sunny spells and blustery showers, heavy with hail and thunder. Feeling much colder than of late, with gales in places.

• Tonight

  Any showers easing to leave a mostly dry night, with clear spells. It will be a chilly night for many. Rain perhaps reaching the far west by dawn.
• .. that all we're missing is a little frost and snow and we've got four seasons in one day..

• Maybe its the opinions., maybe its the view.., or the facts..; maybe its the words I use., or the look I'm saddled with.. Maybe its the images I take..; maybe it's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth..,man

  Maybe I should like that post., that link.; perhaps I should leave a blah comment in reaction to yours.. Perhaps I should read a different newspaper.., but who reads an actual newspaper these days..; well, ok, people do., but., I don't.. I get my news from here, there and everywhere..

So., 

what's Hugh Grant doing these days

?

• How 'bout those years., baby..; at some point isn't it simply 'time'.., time to turn the page.., or pick up a different/new book.. Isn't it just time to understand  and accept that the year is still throwing up the four seasons.. and summer is short and still open to being extremely changeable.. Isn't it time to understand that 'hipster' it ain't., packed full of culture., it ain't..

  So., ok, you accept that and that's why you dig it..; you dig the rehab, you dig the care., you dig the occasional street violence (of varying degree)., you dig the uninspiring shopping.., you dig the two galleries.. and you dig the aesthetically questionable  changes.. Now, even the Hilton's view of the Gardens will be obscured by the back end of a building housing a white elephant.. You dig the wind., you dig the drab., you dig the faded and you dig sitting in a coffee shop..; you dig this and you dig that., 'cause you dig everything., man.. and you dig it because you're a real nowhere man.., sitting in his nowhere land

• 
  
• 
  

• How do we improve., how do we change.., do we want to..; do we want to stay as we are.. and grow old.. sitting in the same chair.., surrounded by familiarity., similarity.. Ok, so you changed your chair., but placed the new one in exactly the same place as the old one.. Arghh., grrr..

  Sad
  Hmm., the view from the brand new 5* Hilton's Sky Bar.. and from those 'Luxury Living' apartments is beginning to look pretty dang awesome..; soon they, the folks., will be able to look at the roof., AND the back of a building.., which, let's face it., according to the local authorities., is far better than the view of The Gardens..., apparently.. 
  
  
  
  
  
  Same ole song., 
• 
  
• same ole tune., 
• same ole sentence.. 
• same ole fan base..
• same ole
• 
  
• I cut my neck while shaving today.. I ran my razor a milly distance over new skin and BLAM., a nick..  That's real., baby.; contemporary can also apply to life (?), can't it. You've gotta be quick to see blue sky here.. 

Seriously man.., this is where it's AT if you want a pub singer.. Perhaps the business men (and women.; phew)., the agreeable council and the events team don't think about 'the people'.. Just take a walk dude.. walk the town., breath in the space, watch people..; take in how they walk, where they walk, when they walk.; listen to da walkers., baby.. Watch and listen and when you've done all that, make yer decisions., plan your gig..; ''if you build it, he will come..'' . Have faith and make your decision based on conviction, strength., confidence..; believe in the talents, qualification and experience you should have surrounded yourself with.. and if the team ain't right, fix it..

Man

aren't some people really cute

really beautiful

&

really fun

until you get to know them

rant
frustration
disappointment




When I Google 'paradise', I've yet to see images., or descriptions of this place, anywhere., baby..

Now., is that a fact, or is that an opinion
?


It's a Wonderful Life

FACT

or

FICTION

Thanks this week go/goes to - Pearl Jam - Andrew Wall - Cori Slachert - Ludivane - Paul Betlyn - Josiah Duncan - Lazaro Nolasco and the truth

Another Week 66 - Country Walking, Christmas Markets, Magnum

and

what's on your grocery list

There are places

&

people

& there are

places and people

This is a place
of

tweed and cords
pints and secondhand smoke
charity shops and rain
of
coffee shops and benches
and ill placed fences

sez wha.?

Social media politicians
social media religious leaders
and
vintage social media literary geniuses
are all bringing it

''the first draft of anything is shit''
E.H
so 'draft' again

puh leez
hs

''that deaf dumb and blind kid'' and English style envy..; I can live without long ass'd sentences., Strictly and pies.., but I can't live without colour., light or truth..- can't live with rudeness, while we're on the subject.., or unpunctuality.., or loudness.., or repetitive sh*t..; but bring out the open windows, fresh air and a gloveless day.. an' I'm all in.., baby..

Tea Bags

Wandering  my local 185k inhabited place., it's the foil and tupperware I notice., along with a lot of 'sitting down' type action..; people sit down a lot here.. FACT.. 
.. but., I guess, if you don't sit down, you'll keep spilling all your tea..  
When I walk round the corner,, the one dude screams like he's in some kind of major pain.; then I realize, it's one of the kaHzillion 'homes' around these here parts.. It's either a case of the screams.,, the scooters or Amy Whitehouse..

and really., what's the borish deal with those squareish yellow type things with big eyes.. I saw a whole bunch of clouds.., surfer dudes and even a helicopter..; truly edge of the seat stuff.. I took someone's photo.. and opened a door.. I was also so long in the hospital that the car park's barrier was 'up' giving me a free day.. 
Totally edge of the seat stuff..

Foot Care
&
leaves

While I didn't snowboard, I did cause quite a splash.; I also walked over 1,001 hidden horse chestnuts which, if you've never placed your foot repeatedly over a mile's worth of horse chestnuts, you won't get what the experience is like..  However, I could throw in the avenue that gets me to the ocean and you'd get to enjoy just how much fun treading a mile of saturated leaves offers up.. 
The hidden treasures of rooted paths., conkered paths and twisted ankles are there for the taking

Choc
digestives
again

How can a washing machine take so long.. and wanting something that I don't really want. 

Do we really like damp towels and 9x9s... do we really like rooms with an after thought 'window' in them., just because it means (?) another room.. and why wouldn't we make sure there's a heater.. where it should be.. Wardrobes.., closets and cereal.., man.. and why does the inside of my right ear itch.. and then again., why do I get a shiver down my spine..

Here's to spring

&

footpaths

I think I'm going to survive without Downton..; some links don't need sharing.. and even the trees look kinda sad..

what goes up., must come down

spinning wheel got to go round

City Calling

and

Happy Birthday

Northern Iceland

What time's dinner.. and what time's early for dinner.. I think 5.45pm is way early.. At some point the mirror should tell ya what I could.. that those skinny jeans ain't happenin'., which., as we know, is tough to take.. and more so because they're everywhere., man.., but geesh., dude.., hang 'em up.. and walk away.. 

call me crazy
but
I love to see
people happy and succeeding
Life is a journey
not
a competition

done
gone
finito

''we were running against the wind''
bs

Where am I

L.A.., 4200 miles in Nevada., that snake somewhere in Joshua Tree's park.. and Pen-y-ghent - Seriously (!)., brogues and green wellies., man..

from sunshine to rain 

colour to brown

light to dark

all there's left is tea.., the M25 and wet leaves.. I've been struggling to tie my right mid boot up correctly the last couple of days and hey., also., one of these days someone's going to get this whole Fringe idea kinda gig down., but until then, thank goodness for a local beach hut..

I just remembered something I'd forgotten

why do some folk write the way they do..

&

if you're able., please please check out Monument Valley

but stock up on water., baby

I just finished off a pack of cookies., bleh.. and hey, take the toll road if it crops up.. To the three couples who all tied the west coast knot.; congrats and to the evening walkers who answered an island request, thank you..

sometimes you've just gotta stand in the middle of the road with your mouth open

and there comes a time when you've gotta ride the 66., baby

do it

but do it without sugar

for friends who say what they mean

mean what they say

do what they say

&

turn up

that's a whole lotta rock an' roll

baby

Did I mention tea.?, not the dinner kinda tea, but the tea kinda tea.. So., even the skinny funky hairstyled long striding dude's dating..; I gotta get a photo of that guy somehow..

It's so good to be back., cough.., really., erm, sincerely..; it's almost as good as having your head drilled without anɪsˈθɛtɪk .. and while we're at it., indigestion..

We can edit photos

we can edit a sentence

but what we see., we see

- documentary -

provides a factual report on a particular subject

Yep., we're lucky ass'd folk.. Surrounded by style, food courts and fountains..; now, where are my gloves

Vapor thingies., laddered tights., pint glasses., pies., pasties., chips, cheese sandwiches and ice-creams., 70's radio and closed windows.. Artificial heat., Big Issues., fence panels., betting shops., damp towels., 'austerity'., amateur political experts., buses and narrow spaces.. Dialects and 'Strictly'., ''yes Lord Sugar., no sir..'' and make-up.. Brown., anoraks., the premier league and fireworks.. - There's always Media City and walking poles., man

if you're ever gonna write a pop song., sing the thing.. baby

and if you're ever gonna stick something in the square

change it up

occasionally

and

if you're going to own a dog., pick up after it.. especially when it's on the end of a bloody leash.. 

a regular Garden's meanderer

BoscVegas and that corner

Super duper man

I saw a zipliner

a pair of shorts

&

overheard a cuss'r

giving it a real go

I also witnessed an attempted mugging (in the park by the stream) by some Richard Head.; the muggee stood up from his seated position only to tower over the piece of sh*t by a good foot.; things changed in a moment.. and saw another dude casually walk out of Tescos with three boxes of donuts under his arm.. After an hour's worth of looking for 'a uniform'., I basically gave up..; sorry., but, there'll always be the canyon, hwy 1 south at sunset and 'those' roads.. man..

wind the windows down and cruise it

gettin' back in the saddle

finding my pace

and

drinking one glass at time

later dude

'cause I'm

out

but make sure you

hit that tambourine

man

I dunno guv'..; honest guv'

at some point

''Bad Company till the day I die''

and the cold wind blows

Thanks this week go/goes to - Free - Danny Daniels - Ryan Miller - Jaide Bucher  - Jason Garmon - the Ferry and John Upton

Another Week 64 - Lands End to John O'Groats, Adventure, Translators and Film..

The In Crowd

And I know what the 'In' crowd knows

I think

From a comfortable and anti-social sociable distance.. I mean, who writes this stuff.., ''whilst.!''..? - I'm so sad for the One Direction dude who split from his girlfriend.., cough, splutter..- 'Kanye' and Glast'., choke.. I just received a welcome surprise., thankyou..

Role models - and I see that Stevie G's 'heat map' offered less than 60 seconds of intense halfway line action.. 'SkurrTul's' a gonna too..  - streaming a bit of Radio Caroline is leaving this ole boat a rockin'.. I still couldn't tell ya one artist, painting or piece of Russ' hangings.. I've got bass in my head after Motorhead and Girlschool.. Amateur hour..

The

Revolution's Never Going To

Happen

I'm feeling a road trip.. ''let me put you in the picture'' ., 

Apotheosis - eyebrows, blueberries and Canon..; I've completed a 'traffic awareness course', 'cause I'm fast., baby.. apparently, by 6 miles an hour over a length of road that amounts to a mere  ONE hundred meters..!

endeared

body confidence

The clock.; don't forget..  jeremy paxman and campaigns.. My mouth's dry and my toes are cold.., man.. A bird just flew by the window & basic instruction manuals are so interesting.; I'm completely gripped, fascinated and yawn., on the edge of my seat.. Enthusiastic teachers are worth their weight in gold..

Time Warp

.. somewhere over the rainbow.. and it's only a matter of time., apparently.. I don't get the whole TV gig thing..; i guess it's all kinda white noise to me.. The Poldark deal is best left for those who sit and watch..; I'm heading to the gym where I can scratch my head, refasten my shoe laces.., pull my socks up.. and stuff.. It's funny how some productions can take you back in time and transport ya, while others simply look, sound, written and acted leaving you under no illusion they are being produced in the here and now..

''Aha., this is my Graceland''

Sad Cafe

''I saw the lamp light from your window''

You know., I just can't go there.; I guess I've just shut the blinds on that part.., but what is it about certain tunes., certain times..!

Historic Places

.. and streets full of row after row of terrace houses., two up two down.., wheelie bins by the front doors., 6x8 box rooms., if you're lucky.. and galley kitchens..; cool baby..

an ageing population
