Tuesday

I had one of those weird spikes yesterday when lots of people viewed this blog, for no apparent reason - or I'm being stalked.

Brighton again yesterday - one of my clients has bought new offices, and very smart they are too. Picked up a nice new hard drive, got £20 off - quite pleased about that - 2 tetrabytes of empty space to fill. I still remember when all we had was 700kb on a floppy.

There was a girl on the train all the way there, about 28, teaches singing, lives in Deal - spent the entire journey working through her contacts book schmooing people in 'the theatre' - no detail of her private live is hidden from me or the rest of the train - I know for a fact that at 9am this morning she is walking along a lonely cliff road on the Kent coast for about  a mile to get to a cafe to meet a friend, lets hope she didn't pick up a stalker. She was so load and self absorbed I had to listen to load music - the very elderly woman opposite ( we was trying to read 'One Day') looked very genuinely distressed at having to be forced to listen to this claptrap.

On the way back - a young autistic man and his care person were on the train, he'd been to bingo - he'd had a great time - and he took great pleasure in recalling every number called, in order, and the numbers on all his cards. I can't even remember my land line number.

Mitt Romney thinks that Iran is Syria's only allie - because it gives them a clear route to the sea... forgetting that Iran and Syria share no borders ( there is quite a lot of distance between them ) and Iran actually does have two HUGE coastlines of it's own.

It can only be a matter of time before we start getting unsolicited phone calls at home with a recorded voice saying 'attention - important news, have you been interfered with by Jimmy Saville - you could be in line for compensation" - they are already talking about cash payouts and compensation from the BBC - which is hardly the point. I think people are going to build their careers on this.

It's strange how people see the BBC as an entity - I suppose a hangover from 'Aunty Beeb' - oddly enough, analouge TV is turned off for good tonight. Trying to get my mum to accept digital TV was a total waste of time - she was quite happy to stare at a screen of snowy interference rather than master a remote control.

Another day of thick fog, not sure about cycling again - too many drivers going too fast with no lights. Quite a bit of work to do today - but looking forward to it already.
