Following on from yesterday's story, I am pretty well convinced after a good number of similar events pointing me to find old road signs that if the system exists then it should work for everything else. My plans are taken over and used to send me where I really need to be but wouldn't know how. Today was planned as a day off with a trip to the shops in the middle, but a client booked that spot and was too late to risk it as the shop would probably be closed by then. I got my professional renewal papers done instead of doing it later and watched the video from last week as there was nothing else on TV tonight. I was also given various tasks for my diary which look like a pain but are probably likely to keep me out of mischief as much as anything else by filling space. I will have to see. I suppose as I tend to write most of my own timetable now I don't like it when it's dictated to me.
Tomorrow I must drive across London to collect my camera which I left behind, but may stop me seeing the ex and wasting an evening listening to her either talking at me or using my phone. I can manage without the camera this week anyway but probably better to get it just in case. I'm doing my mum's garden on thursday so that's filled and friday remains to be seen. But if they are guided like the last two days it's possible the apparent mess will actually produce something I'd never have got left to my own devices alone. Time will tell and also maybe the glazier will return from time travelling to fix my bloody roof as well. |

Having had no plans beyond Monday I have to check back now and see what may have been guided. The Celestine Prophecy says if it's not obvious you still have to look for it.
All I can think of was yesterday gave me a break and earned some money, today as I'd left my camera at my father's I crossed London to get it and go to the gym again while I was there. I also ended up telling the female instructor I knew all about my problems finding a woman- she's too young and taken but maybe she'll think of someone now? Otherwise nothing really happened that left an impression but nothing's gone wrong either so as long as I don't make a loss then the potential is there for a profit. I'm also imagining they could have found the roof for the new room didn't fit when they checked which could explain the absence of progress since Friday. That or the one person responsible for fitting it is somehow under the impression his other work is more important which is odds on as favourite.
I'm doing my mum's garden tomorrow so no room for any other ideas, golf on TV for the rest of the next four evenings after today and photo trips planned ahead. A friend's printing out the sign photos I took this week to save me waiting till I do them all and my Open University video should arrive this week and keep me busy for a while. I can't see anything happening on the room this week somehow, when builders bugger off they do it big time. |

After making a large collection of everything at the start of the week as well as not needing to add much more for a bit, had most of the week planned out for me by others so little room for imagination. I had to go to my father on Wednesday as I left my camera there, did my mum's garden yesterday and the ex cancelled at the last minute today so I spent the afternoon in the park and garden centre round the corner, yesterday was the beginning of the summer weather and in the past lasted about a week and that was all for the rest of the year in nearly every case. We will see.
We have finally sold my late grandma's today, the money at least will be handed over in a month and before there was time to celebrate I was ordered there for tomorrow to clear the final items. I had to go next week to clear the shed and then the garage and the pain must go with the pleasure after spending close on a year at it already before it was ready to go on the market last summer. If I get any photos I'd planned to take afterwards it'll be something. At least the main business is now taken care of, and finally just heard what I'd partly guessed, they didn't want to order the roof and windows together as they measured the roof once the frames were in so will be a while yet before it's made and fitted but at least I now know why. And if the video arrives tomorrow I won't get time to watch it and golf will be on after to delay it further. Then again it may not arrive and will have more time next week. |

| Plenty of business this week, client hours up for a change, gardening and spent a couple of hours clearing the remainder of the house today and more to come. Thank goodness I'm having a new room built or I'd have nowhere to put anything. The roof is being built after the rest so it fits exactly and takes a couple of weeks more but never mind. Tomorrow's sport on TV all day and have a photo trip planned for Monday. The DVD came today and will watch it soon when the golf finishes, so cannot be accused of beong idle this week and have at least a few things to keep me busy ahead. No reply from either person who estimated a small dent on the car, that's pretty bad especially from a neighbour as well for one. I'm waiting for the excuses now, let alone the builder who was meant to service the boiler among other things. Getting there anyway. |

Another week of business- you finally sell a house after a year clearing it out and another nine months waiting to find a buyer, and work. The gardener we were asked to provide (as if we had to, but don't rock the boat) has now finally retired after serving the family for about as long as the house has been built in 1975, so guess who got the job. One more day from the week anyway. I was only there this afternoon and deliberately left the lawnmower there as it needed doing, and didn't think I'd be the mug doing it. And the almost new expensive hoover has been removed without consent presumably by the charity who took the neighbour's furniture stored next to it. I can't see anyone paying us for that mistake either and was relying on it as mine's been up the pictures for over a year already.
There's a short motorway trip planned for the next photos, I've never taken this car on one yet as it's half the size of the previous one I could drive (should it have been legal) ten miles above the speed limit in all conditions, while this seems to reach 60 and little more. I'll have to see. I covered a large area of Surrey yesterday which I'd never seen before and really is one of our best counties, probably second only to Kent right next to it which is a bit of a pain to get to nowadays (partly as all but one the bridges now charge during the day). Apart from taking photos there now I've been there plenty of times already though. But I'd still like the option.
With the global now over my rating dropped like a stone when I got to div.8 as there were so many new questions, considering I've played in most of the previous ones and tended to happen very rarely besides one round where the immortals did get some hideous questions and as I was playing purely for position played the lot and dropped off the top 100 as a result. One day sooner or later I must go for hard core but suspect as I've left it so long half the questions would throw me now and not rely on memory alone.
The ex was here today and have two more people pencilled in the next two days and will see what happens otherwise depending if they do or not. I really hope I get the motorway done this week as I want to cover the map as fast as possible during the long days so I can then pack up and get on with something else. When I collected old train tickets (I still would if they made them) I'd simply choose a line and follow it stopping in the car at each station and ask for them, and if I was doing more than 100 miles try and get a friend to come with me. I did a few trips over 200 miles each way, three to Birmingham, virtually the complete south coast to Poole in the west, and thought nothing of it. That was 20 years ago mind you, and as the mind has expanded with experience and knowledge the body has slowed drastically. Two hours driving there and back now makes me feel like I've walked it, no idea why as besides concentrating I'm only sitting on my arse, but there it is. And after getting advice here will be taking a look at photo printers as well. I've seen the results now and seem pretty good, and if a bit more expensive will go with the convenience. |

I'm quite pleased with myself sticking to some sort of schedule this week plus added arrangements thrown in on top. Yesterday was free so pointed the car on the familar A40 and kept going till Exit 3 (I think) where I left and spent the last few miles poking the camera out of the car window at every set of traffic lights to make sure I got a map square. The car managed the motorway but did seem not to want to exceed 65mph if not going downhill. I do get there but not like I used to.
I did most of my grandma's garden today, and long story threw all the cuttings over the fence as it's derelict land, and despite being on a slope and behind trees the damn people next door who coincidentally own the land saw me. I wasn't expecting that and believe me won't be doing that again. 'Why didn't you put it in the green bin?' 'We don't have one, why would I have done that if I'd have had a green bin?' etc. As no one has entered the land for maybe 30 years I don't quite see their problem, it's been barricaded with barbed wire and military Berlin wall style barriers, so clearly not intended for entry so why a few more fallen branches would be a problem is anyone's guess.
I took Grace out for coffee/sandwiches for me tonight, and as luck would have it although the choice of venue was my idea (90% of our coffee shops close between 5 and 6pm so not a lot of choice anyhow) the second we arrived her mother was sitting at the table right in front of us. We sat with her until a few minutes later her friends arrived (apparently by chance) and they moved off which was possibly a good thing as I don't think she likes me that much. Tomorrow's more or less free and have a few jobs to do afterwards I've been ordered to participate in, more work at grandma's and a quite long taxi service on Sunday I'd rather not plus will have to try and delay it due to a rescheduled Grand Prix. I'll do favours but not at the expense of live sport, why should anyone?
I think that's all the news from Kingsbury and have a few more photo trips planned for next week, the map is growing nicely. |

Well it's 12.30am, no particular quizzes to do or photos to add, so will see what I can drag up from the depths of my mind to attempt to entertain a few people rather than watch a video or meditate. The builders returned exactly two weeks after they added the window frame, and nailed beams to the walls to attach the new roof to maybe within my short span on the planet, maybe not. I musn't be cynical as I'm not paying mind you, but delay isn't related to who pays but who waits. It's just worse if you pay as you then feel obliged to ask questions and attempt to encourage the workers while their timetable has been carved in stone before the job began, punctuated by holidays and the like. Ie you believe you are more in control but they ignore you either way.
I did want to add a fourth large map square today but had a client at the time I'd have to leave so will have to wait till next week. Grace still wants to get married, but mainly as her sister said she needs someone to look after her (I doubt she'd have thought of it otherwise) and as the bloke she really wanted has buggered off (probably not a coincidence but I musn't be cruel) I am convenient/available. So I would not be a husband but a convenience. Story of my bloody life I suspect. She has a heart of gold but that isn't enough to become marriage material alone believe me.
The next few days have been penned (ie not pencilled) in by my mother, she who since my grandma died has surprisingly become the quiet version of she who must be obeyed. It's not orders like my grandma who could have led an army, but subtle but equally powerful. She's going online next month so will add I say this as a compliment just in case... Anyway, after and between those I have a photo trip or two planned and therefore far more booked on the timetable than usual. And for the majority who haven't escaped the world of employment, it's just as much work even when you're not being paid for it. I do it so we don't have to pay someone else, so is exactly the same but not recognised by your peers. I'd say doing the same work for nothing is even harder than paid, as you can't even use any of the money to relax afterwards. I think I may have justified myself somehow. |

Being in limbo is like living in a permanent traffic jam. If you've started a project and waiting for others to move although you're getting on with everything else, depending on the potential gain from the project it does come back into your mind from time to time and pee you off when it still hasn't happened (or failed altogether) after a month, year or decade.
Marriage has been almost a hypothetical for me by about my mid 30s, in 1996 I had two women around, one I wanted and the other wanted me. The first shot through and the second was the one who pretty much asked me, after a few day's thought as it wasn't my idea and she lived too far away to know well enough I accepted probably out of convenience more than actually wanting to. Three days later she changed her mind so rather than move on my competitive instinct (and nothing more) made me try and change her mind. That took a year by which time my own mind had returned and I'd seen the sense not to get involved. Five years later Grace came after me, not because of me but because the man she wanted had vanished and her sister said she should be married. As no one else (especially ones I'm attracted to) besides my ex who is now about to get divorced has shown any interest at all, and she continues to see me as we both agreed the issue of being married or not would not stop the friendship, the subjects still returns from time to time. It's still limbo, we are both more familiar with our motives which are not the official ones for a proper marriage- hers is coercion and desperation while mine, again, is convenience and impending old age. But Buddhism says you only have the reality there is and not the one you want, and mine is that unless I wait and wait and wait (how old can you be before you can't actually play with the toys you've been given though?) there isn't anyone else. There hasn't been for as long as I remember so the odds are there may be one or two in the next 20 years. There are times when maths (specifically game theory) and economics start taking over from pure choice. The cost-benefit analysis of waiting for better or taking the £1000 rather than leaving with nothing have even created what I consider one of the worst TV programmes ever thought of, Deal or No Deal. I am being offered Grace or, with the odds of maybe 10,000-1 someone I'd actually choose myself in the next 20 years. The game theory would draw two lines in time, one which is how long I wait and the other the chances of meeting someone. One goes down and the other goes up and when I reach the point where they meet it means I'm better off taking who is there than holding out for more. All I should do now is work out how long from now that point should be. A few years or so, maybe one or two less or more but about three I'd guess. If I haven't managed to meet anyone else by then I'll be knocking 60 (relatively speaking) and suppose anything she can offer would still be profit above the alternative no one.
Only a man can calculate like that I suspect, but would be interesting to be proved wrong. But to me it's simply making sure I make the best decision and consider every possible factor rather than just go for the hypothetical first prize which only a few can win.

I realize that it is a bit different, since I've been married several times...But you're making me nervous, David! There is always a chance, and maybe forgetting the past will help...Go out and see people. Not in the pub, or where ever you've gone before, but somewhere new and interesting. ;) Laundro-mat, or Produce section. Get moving! :)

I have learnt some pretty depressing things from experience, the main one being how much control we have over our aims. Business and pleasure work differently. Business has a clear curriculum- courses, exams, studying etc, you do the exam and someone marks it and you pass or fail. Start working and you do your best and get paid and it's only randomised when you apply for many jobs and only offered one or two. You can turn them down but financially have to accept one sooner or later so again it's out of your hands. You eliminate the worst and are stuck with whichever of the rest accepts you.
Pleasure is far more random as you can put yourself around the whole scene as I used to, and besides the record reaching the end and starting again after a few weeks when you stopped seeing anyone new so the supply had dried up, you then not only have to factor in who wants to see you as well, but if they're currently single, busy, whatever is happening in their life, so you may (as I have on three occasions with the same person) meet someone who actually liked you but was too far away/married/in a relationship depending on their circumstances in my case over a 35 year period. She and I both agree we'd probably be just right for each other but by the time I saw the obstacles go for me they arrived for her and it's never happened.
In fact the odds of meeting someone a) you like b) also likes you and c) are single and d)(optional) living within 50 miles amazes me how only a small minority of people are still single as those requirements (plus e) do their parents approve of me?) have prevented me from ever getting into a relationship of any importance for more than a matter of weeks. The friends were the most random, as mine were either people I grew up with from birth, from school or met on holiday. By about 18 the quota was complete and remained for well over 20 more years, when one by one they all moved on, including thousands of miles on. As I didn't organise meeting a single friend since I was born then I don't have any experience of finding a friend deliberately, as they were all 'just there'. Effort is like homework, it's only one element, the rest being directing it. While studying you can learn to focus on learning what you need rather than spend days reading with no direction as I originally did until was picked up and taught otherwise. But that's business, with a clear exam strategy and list of topics. You can't take that sort of direction and apply it to collecting human beings, I spent two years with a dating agency, sometimes meeting women every week, seeing some a few times, and ended up with nothing. Maximum effort, slight direction (we were shown videos to whittle down the targets) and zero success. That more or less summed up the hard work approach to me, and virtually the attempting to fix up a social life altogether. Not living in a small community where everyone knows each other is the worst factor as there simply isn't anywhere to go (besides the pretty unsociable health club I go to for my health alone in most cases) and is pretty much the same throughout London. All I know is as people turned up till now then that's the likeliest way they will again. The internet has brought hundreds of new friends to me, but only met a handful as only a fraction are within a distance they can do so. If I could travel abroad as easily as across London it wouldn't be a problem at all now. |

It's good to see I've had the energy to be a lot busier recently. The plans for the next photo trip were put on hold, and have spent two afternoons with minimal tools clearing everything possible from ex-grandma's garden despite the fact it's no longer our responsibility, just to keep the peace. It still looks like sh-t but now it's organised sh-t. My mum will doubtless not even notice a thing I've done as she just sees what's wrong, but would take Ground Force or the DIY SOS team to fix that and I work with my mind and occasionally paintbrush, not my strength.
Hopefully the next trip will follow soon, I saw the hills just before Kent again on Monday which has always been what I think is the best countryside we have, and goes on the same way for many miles in all directions. I'd post some pictures if it was the old blog but there's one in the forum at least. The ex is here today which meant I may as well do the gardening first as it stopped me going out for miles as I wouldn't have been back in time. The roof went on the extension today, it looks like plastic but at least won't smash if so. The small conservatory one is plastic and as well as costing pennies when it was recently replaced seems to keep the rain out. Once I get the measurements I'll get a rug so I can use it once it's done and put furniture in which I couldn't before a carpet went down. Next will be the floor and decorating, and the services and it'll be ready. Maybe next month, who knows? |

Still busy, and began with something my family would say sums me up 100%. I had to get a new map square for my photo site, each is 100km wide (it's the UK, it should be in miles but Ordnance Survey appear to ignore the conventions), and the fourth one from me is about 20 miles NW and decided it was time to get it. I looked at a map months ago to see where it began, knew where I turned off the main road and was then a maze, and didn't remember to look before I went, but just knew it was around Chesham. Besides not either looking at the map or better still marking one to take with me (wise after the event) I just headed to Chenies, turned off and headed for Chesham. It seemed a lot further than I expected, and when it was still a few miles ahead the sign entering Chesham arrived, and tired and bored I drove round the block taking photos and buggered off. Only when I returned home I noticed I headed due west, explaining why I kept driving for miles, while Chesham was a mile north and without actually driving a mile north would enter the fourth square. I took some lovely rural views but did not contribute a single noticeable addition to my website and aim to go back very soon with a marked map I have already created.
Otherwise the room is going well, the windows were sealed today and should be ready for completion were it not a four day holiday from tomorrow. I've waited this long so taking little notice as long as it's slowly getting done. I doubt I'll learn anything from today's debacle though, I am naturally impulsive and have no one to control my weaknesses, so try and learn from mistakes and not repeat the same ones, although each situation is new so open to brand new screwups (I'd have said an alternative but this is a family site...). I also wrote a new quiz last night which I do whenever I think of a subject, and without giving away the subject matter was something familiar to me from early childhood so nearly all based on memory. It's been a while since the last one so will be nice to see another on the list. I've also started playing word wizard for the anagrams when I saw the available badge, and will intend to go for the monthly badge as well in May. And will I do full hard core next month for the global? I think two a day isn't too tough after doing three for so long so why not. |

Blimey O'Reilly, reminded of the night I drove to New Cross to get a road sign, and when posted online around 1am a local resident said 'did you get the one way street sign?' 'Nope' (never got one before), same trip plus a mile the following night. I have got three more since but they all face the other way so count as two different signs. After yesterday's careless trip to Bucks to get a new map square (it's on the intersection of four, I had three but not the NW corner) without a plan or map, I got some lovely photos and no fourth square. Being driven by my aims, I got back on the horse today and took the route I needed to originally (there were two but this was slightly closer and didn't cover yesterday's ground where I was literally 100 yards or less from the border) so I didn't feel bereft for very much longer. I saw some lovely views of the Chiltern hills, and got two small squares in the new one, plus a few around it so job done.
I decided to push everyone away tomorrow, I've worked like a racehorse (probably over jumps) this week and if my mum thinks I'm clearing more from the old house tomorrow or the half-ex (she thinks we're still together, I don't) from up north think they can work me all afternoon after driving four hours plus in two days and spending five in the previous two in 80' gardening they've got another think coming. You don't reach 51 and let people direct you when you need a rest. I was hoping to see Lesley again after missing last year's London visit due to the heart complaint that has now been repaired, but was all booked up but has taken a rain check. By then I am hoping the new room will be finished as well which can also provide tea overlooking the garden. Being easter there'll be no work for an indefinite period now, but will get on with other things in the meantime and have another trip planned over the weekend.
I seem to have a bit more energy now at last so will continue to use it while it lasts, and find a few more things to do locally as well now the weather's decent. |

Well for a change I now have my freedom, for now at least. No obligations to go anywhere or do anything, although have various small arrangements in the diary they are hardly demanding ones. Today was some sport on TV and if lucky the gym will be open today as it closes for most of the holidays. I did absolutely no housework today although in for a change, I must have a small break and will see what arrives to keep me occupied in the days ahead. Besides the next photo trip I've got no particular ideas. It'll be a week or two at least before the new room is finished so can't do a thing there yet, but do have a few more trips to grandma's place to remove the last items each time the car gets filled and have to do another run. I was requested (not ordered like the last couple of times) to go today (ie 'are you going' instead of 'we have to go', and was going at least once in the week anyway as the remaining work is fairly obvious and definitely no more gardening. My mum gave half a compliment, 'Well I could see you did the weeding, what else did you do?' edging, cleared half the paths, cut as many shrubs as had the adequate tools for, and rebuilt the rockery. Except that last one. Credit where it's due, or in most cases discounted credit.
I don't expect a sainthood or Nobel Prize for doing averagely tough jobs half-cocked (although it did work for Obama), but in life any credit you get for doing what is essential is a bonus and can never be taken for granted as following two afternoons in the heat. All the other workmen besides the ones on the extension have evaporated. The one who filled my grandma's bin with cement, the boiler service and the car estimater. All jobs they don't want to do so do their best not to. Only the well paid ones count, the clearing up after yourself or doing routine boring stuff as part of after sales service is the anchovy on the pizza of work (assuming like me you find anchovies like concentrated fish paste that overcome the taste of everything else that meal and probably the whole day) but if you order the one with everything on it then you're stuck with it and may as well eat it.
Unfortunately few people understand the importance of their work for other people, and avoid every optional inconvenience, despite the alternative of having little hot water and no dustbin to the customer is a constant blockage in the free flow of living. One visit to a house for an hour or so, or five minutes in the case of the bin, means the end of a problem which will otherwise continue indefinitely. If the plumber simply told me to eff off then I'd have to find another, but they say they'll do it, make excuses, and eff off themselves instead of telling me to. No actual difference in result but one would be certain while the other can only be implied over time.

While the authorities spray poisonous barium in the air, promote nuclear radiation power, tax the poor until they can no longer heat their homes, force farmers to produce biofuel to create starvation, and replace harmless bulbs with ones which are full of mercury and give off poisonous vapour, they call the few people who object to these policies to 'mitigate global warming' killers.
I wonder if people will ever wake up from this mass nightmare?

Gary, knowing it's happening is more than half the job required to beat them. My observation is most people accept authority regardless, and assume (quite inaccurately) they are there to look after our interests. It's the opposite, they try and give the appearance they are helping a few people like those on benefits and minorities while stealing the money to do so from everyone else, much like a Ponzi scheme. And in the background they are somehow getting benefits of their own, as three have now been found guilty of. But sadly most people assume they are the exception rather than the idiots who let themselves be caught.
I haven't really needed to stop and think what to do till just now, as went out yesterday and was doing my mum's garden today. I managed to squeak in the shopping on the way back and still get home in time to watch Neighbours, watched my final video recording and am now bereft for a while till something (besides the ironing which awaits) occurs to me. It's moments like this that require a family to occupy the time, and when you suddenly notice you're on your own. Sadly being with Grace is not very different (actually many conversations were a lot better) than babysitting, and despite the offer of a lifetime of her company can't see it being much different to being on my own. She can't do much about it but neither can I. A bit like being given a car but with four punctures and no spare wheels... |

Plans or not today was the first I was free (the only in the week) and was so bloody tired (no reason, it just happens sometimes) I was going nowhere for photos, as all trips now are 20 miles away minimum to keep my map growing. It usually wears off after an hour or two when I get up but after waiting today was still there so went to the post office (good thing too, it closes now for days due to the royal wedding and mayday) and half the rest of Kingsbury had the same idea. I then cut the front hedge and spent the rest of the day writing another quiz, inspired by yesterday's arrival I'd written last week on chocolate biscuits. That is now completed as I had no distractions, and will probably spend the rest of the day catching up on long undone housework besides an hour of TV. At least it will finally be done although the front lawn has had to wait.
I've got various family related tasks the next couple of days and unless I wake up early and full of beans tomorrow won't have time to go anywhere I wanted to instead of today. I won't have the car on wednesday as that's when it's booked in to repair the damage caused by the invisible pole. If you have a rear pillar on the car window then you can't see anything hidden by it. Otherwise I'm busy on word wizard at the moment, two more badges down and then the monthly to try in May and the 11 letter word which can happen any time if the letters work. Except it also means only having an hour to look for them if you're playing every hour for the monthly badge so that may have to wait.
I do have another easier trip planned for Sunday so have not been off duty too long, especially after two almost identical trips to Chesham last week as I missed my target by 100 yards the first attempt. I wasn't tired after all that drivng but a day with the ex yesterday seemed to do the job perfectly. Probably not a coincidence. |

| Update, no 11 letter word yet but I am now able to spell portnoy, which should get a badge in itself. |
