On this cold August day where the chill of autumn is in the air I bid you all hello. Yes it has been some time since I was on here. So on my lunch break I thought I'd write a short piece.
Life remains up and down for me but I'm managing. The unsettled sleep certainly doesn't help, I woke four times this morning from 5.30 and never really got back to sleep properly. An uneven start but have stabilised now.
I took a big step last week to try to alter how my life goes. I suspect as has been the case for the last nine years it will be a step to nowhere. But without taking that step I will never know what might have been. I anticipate knowing a little more.
Aside from that it was great to see old friends and go to old haunts on what was a long weekend for me. Yesterday I returned to Borough Market for the first time in nearly a year. Meeting my friend Charlotte who I have not seen for nearly two years we had an awesome day. Also an awesome assault on my bank balance but never mind.
Lunching as I'm wont at Brindisa I introduced the vegetarian Charlotte to cuttlefish, prawns and anchovies. Quite a success as she liked them. The lunch was wonderful.
Then on to the Market. I emerged with a wild mallard, Cabrales cheese for Jo, some Mojame, and many spices to refresh my spice cupboard. Very pleased with my haul.
And then to what was The Grapes and the shadow of the place I called The Hotel California in A Pillar of Impotence. Yes I still retain and return to the places of darker times. But I'm okay with that.
Back in reality now I'm working until the end of the week then have my annual birthday holiday. 52 feels scarier than 50 but it is what it is.
More soon.
I Heard a Voice.
