Breakfast pizza, with an egg on it, is a nice thing.
Sat's Parkrun set me up for the whole day; as in energising. Went to Willesden Green followed by Cricklewood; the Crown with a touch of modern. This is the Irish craic as i remember it. We went down the hill; Brondesbury..no Overground running from there to Clapham Junction. From Brondes to St John's Wood to Maida Vale; top route.
Checked out Bethnal Green.
Sun was leisurely; too sunny to stay in. Had a run. Back to Bethnal Green; the others had met up at midday.  Good to see old timer characters; i remember Willesden, Brick Lane..it's like the guys have been placed in the future. Brunch, Sylheti food. good company. New ideas in traditional settings; forward thinking. Went to Lahore in Aldgate; the tucker was excellent. Made it back no problem. Monday morning coach, stopped in Nottingham; like the Midlands, North.
Go back to go forward. Evening nap before members club 9pm-midnight. The good hearts there.
Lie in today. Storing and generating energy. Fed the donkeys carrots.

Even when you're not feeling at your best a run makes the day more rounded; before you know it you've done it. Good to see Duncan at Sambrooks. Post walk to the gym, a KFC takeout.
Quiet day today.
Sat, Sun should be alright.

Go for a run tonight.
Have signed up to work at the ICC World Cup in June; Birmingham.
My sister's going to Bangladesh tomorrow; if circumstances were different i'd have gone too.

Coach arrived Mansfield 5.50am, went to the gym from there. Booked a job before office hours, had a sleep, saw my estate agent, now in library with green tea and cucumber in a 680mls can. Got pasties from work yesterday and going to have anchovy pizza later. A chastening 10 hr shift yesterday, 8 hrs Sat; this week more hermit.

It's good; lively..Guildford job till 3am, then late afternoon worked at Ally Pally. Got to see Chvrches after my shift; the relationship between music and movement. When I was on at last summer's WeWork summer camp they were on. Went to the gym at Victoria after the gig.
Friday a job got pulled so likely to visit Stanley Hall, South Norwood.

How sad Emilio Sala confirmed dead. First the Leicester chairman, now the young player.

Wednesday fast train to Romford; so you have more time, you're more relaxed. Saw Julie, then Andrew. Didn't win a chicken wings eating contest in Farringdon but it raises your standards; life's not daunting but exciting. Working Sat and Sun.

Eating dragons for breakfast

I put myself on the spot so do it ahead of life. When I left the full time job I took a battering but when you paint a picture it comes true; life's getting better. I have forgotten how to lose. I am now a member of the local social club and the question was asked how did we end up in Mansfield; people don't tend to leave there. Me and flatmate Gab were cleaning the house on our day off; she's going to be 21 and.. i'm older. Helping out at the night shelter; did it Sun night pre Superbowl. A chap turned up saying he wanted a private room; landed a punch on one of our guys. He'd been released from prison two days before on licence; he will go straight back in. The rest are sound. Smokes are supervised so there's no drugs. Derby has a drugs and violence problem; here not really. No alcohol allowed in the toilets which is a good thing; symbiotic.

For one day I can crave Chinese food- Chinese New Year. The rest I abhor the appalling treatment of Muslims in China. Duck and boiled rice it was. I wish you good fortune, true joy, lasting fulfilment, guiding wisdom and real love. Come on dragons! Britain with Brexit believes in unicorns.

What you think you knew can have extra layers.
Fair play Liam Neeson with the cosh for being honest. I've not always stood up for others and myself.

Taking part in a chicken wing eating contest as I happen to be in town for work. I won a sauerkraut eating contest but it's not 2013 and Wed night's winner should be a younger person. I am preparing for the challenge though. Went to the gym; glad to say my t-shirt doesn't fit round the upper arms.
Events industry don't get up early.
