i am at the end of an incredibly trippy day
discovered edwyn collins on loose ends and downloaded "low expectations" and have been playing the versions alternately all day
played it while i was gardening. i was very touched by the changes in his voice. he wrote the song before he had the stroke. i was crying
spoke with fiona on the roadside and she said she was married
went on to do some stuff at karo's
very very trippy
got to karo's at eleven. did some stuff but mostly chatted
went to the library at three, ate a sandwich at the beach and had two cherry beers and on to the the yew tree
the addition of alchohol made it feel almost like tripping
came home and watered the garden and then biked to the railway in the dark along the parallel country route
no one was at the pub and i didn't have my phone and i biked back. night riding with good lights is wonderful
i have not been this social for at least a year
sunday morning and i am planning to do some carpentry
got a long letter from belle and started by missing them
wasting days pretending to be trying to read. wallowing in my own crapulence. i think i have had a long sleep though
little more active today hopefully
and have made a point of telling people
caught up with karo, so glad to know her, there's a quote "you are my social life"
i become more as i interact with the world according to my reading of "the fiction of a thinkable world". it is as good as "the poetics of aging"
so lucky to be controlling my own time and luxuriating in the access to books
had breakfast yesterday at the adelaide for the first time and was surprised to find myself socialising on walmer green at the end of the day
after the children left on monday i decided to have a binge doping session in an attempt to depress myself
am glad to report i didn't manage it but instead wasted a few days just smoking, sleeping, eating what was left in the house and only succeeding in reading james lovelock's latest gaia book
his best options scenario is a nuclear based, high tech island fortress of 100 million people growing food in vats
i think i have had quorn but i don't want to get used to it
impossible to predict what will happen but we could try and agree the best ways to go forward in evolving as a species
slipped into whole earth co-evolution quarterly hippie speak but it leaves me hopeful
i have yet to manage camping by myself but am thinking of doing it whilst in petham
