?the today pro­gram was talk­ing about a book out con­tain­ing? peoples life summed up in 6 words, the above link leads you to some of the listener’s ‘lives’ i found them very revealing.….….….……one of mine is

Scot­tish river, some­times tur­bu­lent, some­times tranquil.

another of mine is

Life too short, I’m wast­ing mine,

i have been think­ing them up all morn­ing instead of get­ting on with things.

It was exactly where it should have been , and i had? looked there? before , i needed a? valu­ation of my moth­ers? ring for the wind­ing uop of her estate, i had hid­den it? years ago when another of her rings was stolen by? someone , either a ‘carer’ of some­time? on one of her vis­its to hos­pital, any­way i hunted high and? low.….…..maybe it was her way of mak­ing me tidy up my things.….….……it was of course exactly where i had thought it was and in the first place i looked, i found it while look­ing for some­thing else.

I have been tonight to my second salsa dan­cing les­son, all of a sud­den it all came together and looked good. no doubt i will have for­got­ten it all by next week,? but him upstairs and i are going to prac­tice.? it will get me fit if any­thing does, my hair was damp with sweat after tonight’s dancing.

spent the day look­ing out pho­tos for? Thursday’s talk, got dis­trac­ted by? lots of pho­tos of Basil. it was nice to see him .

well?I didn’t go shop­ping in Brent cross,?I hitched a lift into the cen­ter of town? with Ian and went to the Tate Mod­ern gal­lery, there was a won­der­ful buzz of excite­ment about the place and young people of all ages learn­ing what is and isn’t art.….….I thought some if it wasn’t art? but a lot of it was .…I par­tic­u­larly liked the crack? that is caus­ing so much con­tro­versy, can­not see how any­body could fall into it, some people must be awfully daft. first i had lunch there it was very good. then waited till Ian had fin­ished his work his office in in Pickford’s wharf right on the Thames beside the ancient Golden Hinde ‚? it amaz­ing how small those ships were.

that night we went back into the cen­ter of town to The Ban­quet­ing Suite, White­hall where we attten­ded a char­ity din­ner in aid of Lang­dons col­lege for young people with learn­ing dif­fi­culties, i had a long talk with the head­mas­ter, a very nice caring per­son.….…...…..lovely din­ner too.

what ugly trees? there are in bits of Lon­don.…...….…it is illegal to do that to trees here in Glasgow.

drove home on Thursday through stormy ‚snowy weather because it was the first time i had entered any pho­to­graphs into a club com­pet­i­tion and i wanted to hear the cri­ti­cism in order to learn some­thing, it was good con­struct­ive crit. i.e. a little more col­our sat­ur­a­tion and trim off more of the sur­round­ing border…got 15 out of 20 which wasn’t bad as the win­ning pic got 17 out of 20.

giv­ing a short 10 minute talk to the cam­era club? next week , not look­ing for­ward to it as i have never done any thing like it before , i was going to refuse but it is on the exact anniversary of Basil’s death and i thought it might give me some­thing else to think about this week.….…..i have to put together?? some photo’s on to a Cd and think of some­thing not too bor­ing to say about them.….….….….how do i let myself get? talked into get­ting out of my com­fort zone so often.
