dive 1 - 22.03.10

I hung suspended upside down and got all confused as a mirrored heaving shimmering film shone with rays of light from below my feet, whilst above my head fish swum past inverted below a sandy ceiling.

Today I got off the merry-go-round

Although Susan and my sister broke the back of the house sorting, without the help of Fni since I went a bit bonkers following a family wedding last September, it is difficult to concieve where I would be.

I wrote to razor but he did not write back

It is concluded by all and agreed by me (the rational side of my personality anyhow) that I do have some 'letting go issues'.  "What's wrong with that?" my alter ego screams inside my head?

They love me in here

The on waking the following morning, what should I find on my door mat but a letter from Elmley Prison.  A letter from the guitar carrying, hat wearing thief himself!  Razor had been nicked and sent to jail.

Monopoly

The other day I went to friends for dinner. They live about 25 minutes drive from Faversham in a place close to the middle of nowhere occupying an old water mill.   

The setting is idyllic and their family beautiful, with three generations sitting around the table eating wholesome food (including an apple and blackberry pie that tasted like my grandmother used to make it).

The nature of epidemics

One interesting fact I learnt is that smokers typically over estimate the average number of years lost from their life as a result of smoking.  They commonly believe all of the anti smoking adverse health related literature and say things like 15 or 20 years will be lost.  

The truth is that only 6 years on average are lost from a smokers life.

Hoodies, CCTV and 1984

"Britain has 20 per cent of the world's CCTV cameras. Yes, 20 per cent. There are more cameras in Basingstoke than in New York City, where they are banned from places like the subway on civil liberty grounds."

"The average Briton will be picked up by 300 cameras a day, creating a pervading sense of paranoia. Cameras don't mug or stab you, though. And there is no doubt that a lot of hoodies cause a lot of problems for those who have the misfortune to live around them."
