What I've been hearing lately 'I don't like it' 'My way's more important than yours' 'Can you do this for me?' The chain; one thing leads to another. Trains 19 mins late.
You're not going to get your first choice or second. 'Pressure's off.

When I wore a Superman top in the East Midlands- people loved it; 'Are you gonna watch the film v Batman?' Just don't take on too much or you'll feel strained. Did 8.5 hrs bar work yesterday; serving a few hundred pints. Today at the normal work thought it'd be 4 hrs; it was 8..got some of tomorrow's load out of the way..worked every day. Part of me would like the next 6 months off.

Stage left

Moderation; last train from Leicester, tube was still on, normal bus was still on. Some people wake up alone; have more days alone than not. Had a chip barm there. The people friendly; a Uni student from Streatham. The Asian girls lovely.
People's hopes shattered. We engineer our exits. Where did the attraction, seduction and companionship go? Didn't entertain enough. There is clear thinking and determination.

Was great to finish early at work. Training assessment; got to match my friend who got 90%..can't wait to get on it.
Went to the Grand, Clapham Junction last night-love that building. 5 levels and the view from the top.
Bought some nice flowers. Resting up before a return to bar work on Sat.
I love the story of Adam Johnson being shopped; by his own teammate. Not just because Connor Wickham plays for Palace but doing the right thing 'I don't want your bullshit friendship'. And that manifested in a positive move South for the Wickham man. The law will protect you but you have to go to it. There was a line in the People v OJ Simpson; 'Money is sometimes the only justice'. Recompense?

As a neutral I wanted Zlatan to score, Chelsea to be relegated but to do well in Europe as an English club.
You'd expect the acting to be top notch in the People v OJ Simpson; Cuba Gooding and one of my expressive faves Travolta.

Was going to meet an ex for a 'PostValentines Show' dropping Formation but realised this was a backward step of energy. Don't make emotional decisions.

Fri night was in bed by 9.40pm so was energised early Sat morning. Went to Tottenham from SE London; fair trek. Antwerp Arms-the Beehive; chilled music at the latter. Nice walk to Beavertown; hadn't been to Tottenham Hale for 30 years. Then the huge queue and it was cold; so busy inside-got a bit more tired. A Saturday nightshift leaving Valentines Day free.

Valentines weekend

Don't hope to win; expect to win-do it to the maximum.
Went to our local Camra branch meeting last night. Took my dad to hospital in Chelsea yesterday morning. Got through Friday; 11hr shift. Ready to study again tomorrow.

Bring it on

That's what I signed up for; manicness at work..sometimes relentless is the only way..a buzz..day in, day out. You don't have time to figure out how to do it; you just do it. Adjusting in the same movement.
It's Fat Tuesday. Didn't have a 14oz steak but chicken and waffles, a waffle burger. Don't know when I can make Bird in Hackney so I made my own. Also had babycorn, a sweet pancake, Greek yogurt. Life has a carnival feel.

Is it the start of the Chinese year of the monkey? Anyway I got some satay fish. Roast duck on fried rice would be nice. Worked Sun night 7-10 then went down to see the Superbowl in a chilled Clapham venue. No charge, id and we had an excellent table. When Sun night may normally end last night it began. Watched with a Texan. Food included fried pickles; reinvent a side dish.
Sometimes life's about the delays, the duration of dalliances, the things that don't work out, the ones that care. Reset your happiness.
Friday had a hot crab curry.

Sparkle

When you don't drink you have more energy; uphill walking. Preparation for the things you want to do. Saw a production about tango in Fairfield Halls, Croydon; Carnival/Mardi Gras coming up. There was a psycho in the story; they think you're nothing without them. We remember the silence of the easily led. Cowardice sets off unfortunate events. The flipside if you like of the darkness was legacy. And the truly brightest lustre of carnival costumes.
Tues went to the Palace game. Had a pep talk with Harry H bomb and all was good. Love watching it with the fans.
Wed saw Carshalton Ecological group who I've helped out before.
Mon was film networking so it's all nice and diverse. Sat morning going to see the Lobster in Ritzy, Brixton. A birthday and a housewarming Sat night.
