A happy, pivotal day; changes are afoot. Strength to strength. Turn up.

Feel accomplished when you meet deadlines; keep going. Messi to a Luis Enrique; awkward.
May have to hold back travel plans.

After Sunday morning reflection went Woolwich way to see the Marathon race. Just near the Woolwich Ferry at the roundabout. An opportunity to see my friend's new kid. Saw Wilson Kipsang, and smiley Paula Radcliffe flanked by male runners; 'where's my cappucino?' oh that's runners on set. Whereas it was warm at the Palace match it was quite cold here. Didn't have much time for silly costumes; more concerned with athletic prowess. Encouraged them; high fives on the run.

Spoons in the square near Woolwich Arsenal station. Then a tasting in a penthouse along the river affording the most lovely of views. Got a lift to sharp urban Abbey Wood.

Hache Sunday roast burger takeout. Several Marathon runners in Balham with their badges and after race limp and great spirit.

On with the week; ahead of a long weekend.

I like those that do and say the right thing; and people will know the same with me. I like lots of skill and lots of work. Lacking social nous is not a good thing. Let's keep coming back to what is magical. Turn ordinary into special. On a plane not seen before. Exceed your own hopes and dreams. The brilliant is out there. We dream each other into life. Fulfilling our dreams. When people are nice in a non schmo way it means a lot; life affirming difference..it's unspoken and understood. Some can't help how they are, some work at improving certain factors.
Worked 7-11am Sat; nice graft. Then a barnet trim; can do another in 6 mths. Air feels good going through the layers; use salt spray. Fish portions in a West Croydon buffet reminded me of a happy time. Big chicken pieces, potato salad £5.90. Saw Palace.
Fri night; trains to Bexley from nightmarish London Bridge are every half hour and I waited 26 mins for the next one. Oyster customers are refunded if they overpay; rail companies fine you for a shit service. Some folk do want to punish you; not rejoice in what was positive. Appeasing those that don't respect them. Making enemies of the innocent and courting the dodgy.

Push the imagination; a balance with scientific. Momentum and rhythm. Confidence not nerves. Associating with the people that inspire, excite you. From blackouts to seeing the light. And enjoying the cardio exercise..a buzz. There's three of us guys who have had difficult relationships in the recent past when we've meant well and it's great that we get on, support each other and have common sensibilities. They didn't know what they were losing. I'm not scared of the future.

Had a day's grace period from work's personal blame culture to do some tv work. It's been good to see old faces Sat and today. Got my timings on screen spot on. Me and Kay went to a Chinese buffet at lunchtime; £6 includes ice cream.
St Georges Day today.

Could've done Nottingham today instead of yesterday but no prob. Made sandwiches for the train. Met a few others at the Joseph Else there; I didn't have the breakfast but two strong coffees. First AGM of the year; Brewdog to follow. Luncheon went to a burger shack; they do Coke Floats. And a Sunday roast burger; well it was the weekend..had with Cajun fries and onion rings. Didn't do Warsaw Diner. Civil chilled day; was back in before 9pm. Felt alive in the North.
Make some pasta salad soon; mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers. Sunday rituals; incense, cappuccino, green tea, had eggy bread.
Fri night was meant to be quiet but went to a microbrewery opening invite on Kent borders; Blackfen. Did the fast train East Croydon- London Bridge. Broken Drum is not the most positive name, you can't beat it, gettit? 'Do you like a snare drum'.
Right got the shorts on to show off the pins and do some liftin, shifting musclepower for a Zipvan. Doing it for some Nutri Bullet revitalise. See Fri's Masterchef and today's snooker later,,get in.

That Suarez second goal was one of the best things I've seen on a field; spellbinding. David Luiz you need some more seasoning; nutmeg? Suarez speaks like a winner; it's not tricks for effect but is what's needed in life; risk, genius, a longshot, playful. You have to know, not think.
Masterchef had honey and red wine dressing. Foams, mist. Pears in cider; maybe not K cider. Textures, smells, presentation/ colours..multi sensory. In the zone.

My dad's birthday yesterday; went to that Pakistani place in Tooting..came to less than £6 a head- with some gratis masala fish. Chickpeas with sweetcorn. Gold, glittery background with a tinge of an electric red there.

Today bought some turkey fillets; so no defrosting. Cooked three ways. Had a manager's special nice and early 12.30pm; 8oz rump steak and chips, no peas with that, £4.99. Think i had the last of them as the special was changed to Aberdeen angus steak £6.99 still no peas. My one was warm rather than hot. Left half my pint tap water as i scooted for a local bus. So a good morning; spiritual salvation, a leccy shave, cappucino, green tea. Get some Sri Lankan dosa soon.

Serve the higher power. Sometimes when you ask for one thing you get several. Who's going to burn what down? Trolls will be trolled in person. Right off out.

Was nice to get up 5 hrs after than I did yesterday. Still leftover Easter egg to go through; saved for this weekend.
Took some items for a foodbank in Vauxhall; rewarding and felt buzzed..better than serving at one..too tired from the week. Burgers in gravy in a tin; yeah. Someone gave Fray Bentos. Is Camp coffee still around? Good to meet up with ppl new and old. It will be coming around again; some vistas from the last decade before time is out. Vauxhall to Clapham on the bus not long. Observed Fri night date dynamics in Clapham Craft. One guy didn't stop talking; when I was a young chap I was told 'keep the mouth moving'. Girls like a bit of front. Another bloke had the funniest shaped face; like it was put through a compressor. Then it was cabaret time at a birthday. Consolidating new links in an exuberant environment..the glitz, the larger than life, the looking good. The midnight hour was the right time to move on; to dream, recharge..take stock of the truncated working week. The dreams that didn't quite make it, the dreams that will blossom beautifully.

There is no gaping chasm in my life; sometimes decisions feel better over time..'adding value'. Go with instinct. Often things need to be said at the time as body language/ facial expression is not picked up on.

Doing an Easter roast duck; not a bad size..infused with garlic incisions, oil and fresh ground pepper glazed, lemon makes it soft..did a rice stuffing to give the bird shape and weight. Eat choc eggs and real eggs. As it was Easter Day after i cracked into a Toffee Crisp one at 2.30am on my return from a birthday..a comedown and meditation. I'm ready for filming on a Bank Holiday tomorrow. Hung out yesterday evening with the one who calls me her estranged husband; she's my muse. I used to have Victoria Bitter in Australia in 1998; new ideas now..the overly sweet Sydney Iced Tea, a sumptuous chocolate Martini through a thin straw. Martin and Jenny looked so happy; made me happy. Made new friends; a Spanish guy who also likes Skid Row and a nice Taiwanese girl. At the 24hr offy later had an Irish v Nigerian Guinness head to head with a few others; i said my preference was for the Nigerian one..the guy took so many bottles away with him.

Booked a trip to Nottingham and not at a silly price. Me and Sheffield Andrew will be having filth; burger lunch. Sassiness travels well.

Love and laughter; creating positive vibe..being awesome about it..perform..the job is being done.
Pakistani brunch on Good Friday; i didn't have loads as it puts pressure on the heart. Orange coloured rice; there was meat curry, chicken, dhal, veg, salad, a kebab starter, fresh naan all for the princely sum of £5.99.
Then in a North East London direction; Victoria line diagonal to Walthamstow..tube fairly quiet. Leyton edginess; Pakistanis, Polish vying for the street. Seen Malcolm three Sats in a row. Steve and Julian talking brewing; interesting process. Went to the Red Lion afterwards.

Breathe with light. Some people have conceded the most spectacular own goals. Reminding of the past; undoing good work right at the end. We tend to beat ourselves up.
Some create enemies for no good reason. It's ok not to have everyone in life like you.
Awakenings, near escapes- hashtag it. Take out two or three things in one fell swoop.
