August 2008
Today though,on reflection, after a long tiring day it has to be said that there are some ignorant and unenlightened people on the planet and they usually sit opposite, or rather sideways opposite me on the train. There is only so much an MP3 will shut out because some peoples auras you just do not want to share and hers was in my face. Well anyway prior to that I once again discovered that there are many beautiful people on the planet there for me. This was all because after a hot and emotional few days we decided to have a meal in London prior to catching the train. It was the same Greek restaurant we ate in on Tuesday night prior to the journey to Essex and the funeral.
Anyway food was spectacular and boss brilliant named Aristotle or Tele, sorry if that is not correcly spelt. That evening I had to suffer sitting and listening to the most crushing bores sent to annoy me but fortunately as London is so noisy and it goes through the vacant space in the skull I always wear my MP3. In the end, sorry but I had to put it on or murder would have been committed. I love listening to people but not when they are so boring that even a glass eye would yawn and close up. They left eventually after eating a host of thousands. We had the same meal but I could not finish it however this is by the by. We went back today after doing the IT shopping and having left the baggage in Kings Cross we went to the shops, bought a hard drive, well the one who knows all did, and then bought another laptop. Yes, this one is brilliant and a Toshiba with good credentials. The people in the shop were fantastic because we had already been in there on Tuesday and they greeted us like friends, sincerely not just to sell things. I love people from Asia because they are so fantastically friendly, there is some sort of affinity, which there is no need to go into. Anyway we bought this laptop which is being called Brassy Lass because she cost more than Baba and is also gold topped. So as everything has to be named then so she is. We went to the Greek, him who knows all placed his order and went shopping again as time was limited and left me there alone. No problem but I had a panic attack for some obscure reason and came around with Aristotle holding me on the floor telling me to breathe slowly and not to worry. Well at this point he who knows all walked back in and thought I had had a seizure but Aristotle assured him that it was just a panic attack because he suffered with them. Apparently I started to tremble and breathe very fast, the ladies at the next table sat me on the floor because you cannot fall any further and so Aristotle took over and brought me back. What wonderful people they all are and I am so thankful. He went off and came back with a cold, damp cloth to cool me down and then food arrived so I stood up and then eat the most wonderful salad. No, I had not been drinking but it was hot, we had walked miles and I had not eaten much earlier.
Then we had the long journey back up north and so the day ends on a high and I am now drinking that red wine which just proves that, contrary to popular belief, I am not an alcoholic. I probably was but having said it now it changes everything. Had nothing been said about my friend then no doubt that would have gone down hill but as soon as you worry about anything in the open the whole equation changes because there is an amount of acceptance to it an then everything progresses. I suppose there is a law that covers this and it is not good old you know who's law either.
