Radiohead - Pyramid Song
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I woke up with the remains of a foul mood lingering in my head I had gotten myself all worked up about nothing I'm sure but I am starting to get rattled being cooped up and so close to people. I think it's me being an arse hole probably but I am moving now ASAP. In fact found a nice place to go to not far from town and have a viewing for tomorrow evening.
Foot beds arrived for my boots they are super squidgy and very comfortable. The fit is much better now also. Some food then a dog walk with Mum and home to a hot bath. Relaxed with some music on in the deep suds. The dog went wrong being walked in the evening it confused him and broke him.
Watched through some more tutorial videos on music synthesis using Sun Vox. The videos are very informative and give you a really quite comprehensive foundation and understanding of the way it works. I am going to have a play about with it at a later point tomorrow.

Packing up my lunch box in the morning is ever so exciting to do a job but not if you see what I mean. Trains were not busy and made them in plenty of time. I was quite excited about the viewing at the end of the day, only to find out it has had to be shifted. Now going on my own tomorrow morning at half eleven. Went shopping for glue and dry shampoo on my break successfully got it all at poundland.
Trains home were all messed up so was late to MK, but got a lift from CMK instead of waiting for my connection to Bletchley. Dinner was a dish I had not had in ages it was aubergine fried in egg then layered and baked with tomatoes sauce we had that with a hot green bean salad and some pasta. Was great, really good food. We all ate out side in my Mums little garden. Bob sat at his new bench which he has been building, me on the step and Mum on the bench and the dog lounge about on the floor absorbing the sun.
Stole away upstairs to fix my skull candy head phones with some Epoxy Resin. This has worked but still I will keep these for studio only not for travelling about they are still a bit fragile. Three years old isn't bad I guess.

I managed to reorganise a house viewing at the same property on my lunch break. Got there, an easy bike ride to get there and only ten minutes from work. The house is ideal for me small on a quiet street near a good few parks. The garden is great got a decking area and easy to maintain the things I will add are going to be in planters and pots. I asked about Toby and they said they would have to check with the landlord its just my luck that this place won't let dogs.
The day was sweltering but I only really noticed it when at the end of the day while waiting for Malcolm to get home, I sat in the church yard on sheep street and looked at the flowers and ants.
So the evenings plan was to get over to see Malcolm and Rozis new flat. It's very cool smart and modern. Has a massive private courtyard that is lit up nicely when the sun goes down. I cooked for them, they both went back for seconds, so made me feel I had cooked successfully well. I drank a good few glasses of wine and smoked some cigarettes. Had a good old chat about the world and I chipped off before eleven and shot home on the sweaty train.

Woke early but decided against getting up properly other than letting the dog out for a wee. Got back in bed and snooze until the about half eleven.
Checked on my little plants, some are doing nothing while others... Well see for yourself.
Chores and then a cup of coffee with my new album on.
This is quiet peacefully work, parts remind me of Tracey Chapman. The guitars and drums age very simple but there is some nice vocal harmonies in there. Called up the letting agent to get a result about the hound and... It was a yes! Brilliant news so I am going to be back in Northampton soon!
After Mum got home from her mornings lessons and we all took a walk outside with the hound. To the bank and then the park. He had a run about and got all hot and tounge lolling. We all made ourselves something to cool us down when we got in I made myself an iced coffee.
The afternoons events were reading with Fizzarium on. A bit of browsing the net. Did get quite sleepy but woke myself up by making me think about dinner. Had a rummage in the cupboard and came up with these dishes between Bob and I.
All prepared by my brother and I. We have here a carrot and raisin salad, with a balsamic vinegar and soy dressing. A German style potato salad, it has gerkin in it. A bacon, pea and mint warm salad with mixed leaves. Lastly home made flat bread/chiabatta with garlic and rosemary. I don’t think I need to tell you how good it was.
Layed about most of the evening watching Neon Genesis and again reading Unbearable Lightness of Being. It has improved some what, but is still a little fluffy.
Neither of my brother or I could sleep so webended up chatting all evening eating Jelly Belly jelly beans. I love the guy but he has got to face himself. Make a choice and stick to it.

Toby was a cuddle bug this morning wanted to nussle right in to my neck and have a fuss. Persuading him to get off, get up and get on was a real job.
The weather was already warm even at seven AM, I went got some washing in and checked the plants. Today it was the courgettes that had decided to have a growing fit. Several little plants all pushing up through the soil.
Had a wander to the letting agents to pick up my paper work for the new place. Wandered to the coffee shop and picked up a couple of bags. Had a look in Primark and H and M, there was nothing good at either of them to get.
Came back to store and Plum had text me to ask if I wanted to do lunch together. I had already packed food so arranged to meet and to go to the park. We met and found a nice leafy dappled area to sit. We were promptly assaulted by a group of rather unruly looking ducks. We chatted about her and her baby and me moving house.
My Paul Frank Skull Candy head phones arrived they look cool but I don't know if I am going to keep them for me or give them to little brother... Although I already gave him a fifteen quid amazon voucher to get some headphones of his own.

This morning is the extra rushed one because of the earlier train. But plesant and cool in the post dawn light. Every one else seemed to be still asleep in the heat, no cars or people as I rode. The day at work took what seemed like ages as I was looking forward to seeing Northampton folks. I did however get a bargain on an exact replica of my HESH skull candy head phones for fifteen pounds.
Went to the horse and drank a good few pints got squirted with water pistols and then shot to the Bradlaugh stayed there for one and then ended up at Embargoes. Got too drunk fell off Daphne. Got to Malcolms place gave out foot rubs hugged Rozi to make her feel less poo and passed out on the floor.

Having a bit of a rough head while looking out of a tall building with your first cig of the day is painful don't do it. Got out of the flat early and left for work and grubs at the news cafe. I did not die as much as I had expected to the brain was a bit rubble-like.
After work met with Mum and Bob for his bday meal, ended up stopping for a pint first in the Wig and Pen. Gav and Hayley were there. had a chat and then off to the Oriental Garden. The meal and service great as ever Bob was most impressed with the way it was served with little bowls of rice and then picking from the central main dishes. Drove home in the cool night listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Too hot to do anything but flop around the place like a flat fish out of water. Even the dog didn't want to go for a walk it was too much for him so he did the same. I did manage to pot out my courgettes and mixed salads in to their bigger trays.
It was too hot to eat so I did not until late evening when we were all home and It was cooler, ate a salad based dinner with some kebab type things. Also walked the hound round the park in dusk. Home and just tried to watch South Park, I find it boring now. Fell asleep to having weird dreams of helicopter crashes and photo shoots.

Woke up and read some pages of The new book of knowledge volume four, there was this lovely illustration of some mushrooms in there.
I've already done my washing and room tidying, taken my mattress out side for an air and clean. The rest of day is paper work for the house and hound pottering as its a lot cooler today.

There we are done another blog out of the way, was meant to be done yesterday. Too hot though, plans for the rest of the week are to maybe finish The Unbearable Lightness Of Being, as its slow and not as good as its hyped up to be. A good few phrases in it though.
"What was important was the golden footprint, the magic footprint she had left on his life and no one could remove. Just before disappearing from his horizons, she had slipped him Hercules' broom, and he had used it to sweep everything he despised out of his life."
enuff.
