Bank Holiday

Worked with kids today. They're more entertaining than us
'Why aren't teddy bears hungry?'
'Because they're stuffed'.
The imagination, ideas..loved it; made the day rewarding. They are the stars of tomorrow; it's through their eyes. And the Bank Hol pay rate was bumper enough; nearly three times my normal work rate #wrongjob. We were able to have sunbreaks. Getting there took the Overground and Jubilee Line from Clapham High St- West Ham via Canada Water and then one stop from there. SW-SE-E. Lon. The Northern Line extension vision; from Kennington- Nine Elms and Battersea..people will use it. A lift back to Clapham South.
Yesterday went to the Royal Oak, Vauxhall for Irish sport. Yes the bullshit was flying; an even bigger posse next time..Mick knows how to sell a social idea. It was a great group; there was complimentary roast to have with the Guinness. An English place would never do that. Didn't want to struggle with Guin so you wake up in the morning hoping you haven't offended anyone online. No Bank Hol booz.
I've had personal disappointments; I accept the blame. I'll find excellent ways to bounce back, get better. Let pain produce quality, credibility.
Grew up with Gene Wilder; our heroes are dying. I feel especially sad when the funny guys go; Rik Mayall, Robin Williams.

One night at a time

Lie in; yeah right..8.50. A longer weekend helps you think.

Went to a work leaving dinner last night. The risotto was to die for. Creamy, dreamy. So today i made bruschetta and linguini.

And as per Bank Holiday did some fence painting. Therapeutic yakka; even strokes.

My friend of 36 years died from cancer. We'll beat cancer's ass. Saw him on the slab; nothing prepares you for that. When one says they've gone to a better place is that right? They want to be with us, watching the game. Me and another friend sat, recalling his scrapes at school. And now we can't talk to him. I said we'll see him again.

We wipe our own tears. Have become more hard nosed. The decisions we make should have been made a while ago.

Not been on Night Tube yet.

Emancipation was a landmark movement; women didn't go through that for nothing so it annoys me when some are 'not bright' while others are evolving. No time for vacuous.
 I also dislike casual misogyny that you see in films, tv. That is not equality. Women can't be objectified.
It hurts me when people don't go for 'inter-racial'..they go back to their own kind and that is not progressive..you've learnt nothing. If there were outside forces with pressure they've won.

Feel all kinds of joy

No brain softening; it's a cull. There can't be demanding. Not everything's a complaint. No obsessives. Turning pain into laughter, entertainment. There is truth and beauty after all; aesthetic.
Diversity brings unity; division will not win. The purest. We add to the richness of life. See it before you hear it.

Do you do the diplomatic route or fight fire with fire? I went with fire. Let good things get under your skin. Nothing should faze you.
