 Some of the homeless guys that come to the food kitchen give us some jip; most of our guests are fine.

Having the right people, influences round you helps galvanise. You fit more things in, the normal life is more balanced e.g buying new trainers..Zeal for the things you always liked doing.

An eye for the little details; adds up to the bigger picture.

 Went for a walk with a local friend and her dog through the park; like the genteel. Dogs know when someone's going to die; they can smell death.

Made chicken thighs; turning them over made them crispy, not dry. Have with creamy green beans. 

The gym is busy on a Monday evening after the weekend. Have some running routes in mind. Okay at the social club; Abbey there. 

I make enough to cover things. Consolidate savings over the winter with seasonal work.

 So Friday, Saturday nights I'll have to make my own entertainment after 10pm or have Horlicks. Can go to the gym more as it's 24 hours. It's been nice to chill out; go to bed midnight. 

Uncertain, perilous times; have to put food on the table. I've been troubled; will get through. I've been eating more and feel healthier for it. Fairly desolate out there; morale is low. Fear is etched in peoples faces. Collective masks; i hate it, i can't see your face. The sun is shining; providing warmth which is matched by the camaraderie of friendship.

Leicester won 5-2 at City; thinking of a Maroon 5 song. How hugely enjoyable.

 Swollen ankles are painful; started at cricket practice last night. Relatively early night. 

One of the guys at the Blenheim Palace Triathlon had run at least 83k just on Saturday; the conditioning is inspiring. It's all been noted; the new world is coming. Mostly I eat healthy; fresh produce. Have to be so careful with money.

Monday a few of us; serenity under the stars, a fire on..spiritual.

Sun night the later train is back; didn't go into town and made an indoors evening of it- some things are best simple. 

Sat after work got off the Oxford Tube at Notting Hill Gate and went to the Rembrandt in West Brompton for a quick Dutch beer.

Thurs and Fri were more reunions; people kept coming.

 I look at love and the glow. The lustre is not dimmed. The answers are there. Had a Zoom interview at the start of office hours for a project and we pretty much  have to nail these. Scrap round the paucity of work 

The energy is beautiful; it flows.
