The sunlight shines through the curtains of my ground floor room. I am still in bed, and attempted to sleep for a second time before giving up. This week has been a stretch and at times was boring. The time outside the gym has taken its toll and my normal winter blues and lack ofContinue reading “Weekly recap”

I had a dream last night that I was talking to an old French man, who was called Basile. He popped up earlier in the dream and I recognised him but I didn’t know where. The dream passed him by. But he came back later on as we drove in small Land Rover around theContinue reading “Dreamspace”

I woke as if still in a dream. After 2 years where I barely had dreams of my ex girlfriend she now appears on a more regular basis. The haze of the dream and the real world sat upon each other, the dream heavy on me as I struggled to move my head. And forContinue reading “Wondering in the mindspace”

Recovering from sickness always lasts longer because we do self destructive things. Lying around the house watching the documentary Saturday afternoon about Jimmy Iovine and Dr Dre called the Defiant ones on Netflix, should have been the necessary downtime I needed. I’ve become increasingly guarded with my time now as my focus changes in lifeContinue reading “Weekend recap and back to the grind”

Knowing people have left birthday wishes on my Facebook and not wanting to leave people floating I re download the app to thank people in my well written and quiet manner. That was yesterday and this is today. I lost 1 hour and 30 minutes to the fucking app and just deleted it again. IgnoranceContinue reading “Saturday afternoon”

The first week of work went well as I settled in to a new environment with new people. I tried not to swear too much and I hoped people couldn’t hear me swearing at the door when I’m trying to unlock it with a hot chocolate in my hand and a wind blowing it openContinue reading “New job. New life”

It’s a Tuesday and I spent some time trying to work with this new jobs background checking software this morning. I did feel like leaving it a few more days, but the new job is supposed to start next week and since it wasn’t complete, I actually wanted to start the job on time. IContinue reading “Tuesday night chill”

Various buzzing electrical items can be heard. The electric heater is on next to my bed, and the water purifiers in the hall emit a steady drone of a refrigerant. It’s Sunday morning and I’m awake quite early. The few days have been good. Friday was the night out with my old work team, whereContinue reading “Rack em and a stack em”

I awake and it’s later then I thought. I remember details of the dream I was in before I woke up. Myself lost in Whitechapel, London. I find myself getting mugged when I’m in an area after dark that’s teeming with people near to the McDonalds. Someone tries to take my phone at knifepoint whichContinue reading “Gainfully Unemployed on Thursday”

I wake up from the end of a memorable dream of 2 cows who had been given woolly jumpers by the United Nations In Bishkek, and the camera panned to the cows with colourful woollen jumpers and their owners next to them. Literally no idea where it came from but who cares, it’s colourful. It’sContinue reading “Bishkek Cows on a Wednesday”
