Sunday


Sunday's are a tricky day, do too much and you start the week tired. Do too little and a strange sense of guilt haunts you and ruins your evening of watching light entertainment while eating comfort food.

I'm not sure I got the balance right today. I finally sorted out my room so I feel decidedly more moved in but I have a sort of listless feeling, like I should be doing more. This is surprising because over the last few days I've done a lot, sorting out all sorts of elements of my life. So maybe not more, but at least something else.

This would be an excellent time to do a bit of baking, perhaps some biscuits but I'm awfully low on the specialist ingredients for them. In the time between me leaving my old flat and collecting my stuff all my baking supplies disappeared. I don't think this was malicious, just a mistake. Still there will always be more baking powder and cake cases.

Perhaps a bracing walk is what I need, nothing like a good stroll to sort out the mind and centre the spirit.

I've just noticed that the apparently pointless ornaments in the library have lids you can take off and spaces that are perfect for storing secret notes to be read by someone else in the manner of spies. I wonder who I can use them to communicate with?

Fear and loathing in Maida Vale


As part of my reading by the spirits yesterday the lady kept going on about someone close to me having a drink or drugs problem. I looked slightly taken aback and then said no. T.P. likes a drink or two but it's not a problem. She said no this was definitely a problem and then we moved onto another subject.

I didn't think more about it until I left and turned my phone on, my neighbour (who I should add is a proper friend not just someone I share a postcode with) wanted me to come home right away because he was scared people were in his flat. When I got back I discovered that he hadn't slept for two days and had been snorting rather a lot of white powder and was completely fried. It took about eight hours for him to calm down and admit that while it was possible that someone was hacking into his camera phone to watch him so they could steal his stuff, it was fairly unlikely. Especially since that if some people had broken into his flat while he was asleep why didn't they take any of the massive amounts of highly portable expensive electronics he has everywhere?

He seems a bit better today after having actually slept for a while, bless.

So while I was having my reading a close friend was having a really bad situation with drugs, freaky eh?
