Another thought

While I was outside I also got thinking about something I saw on the telly last night. One person commented that entrepreneurship was supposed to create wealth for the common good, but in fact had no beneficial effect on people's standard of living. This was because the entrepreneur salted away his considerable takings in some tax haven or other. This, of course, is the truth of the matter. These unscrupulous and greedy individuals donate vast sums to the governing party so everything is ok. They also help those who govern to to do the same with their millions. What a rotten, selfish example they set the masses.

Thinking

I've just stepped outside for another fag, and while I was there my mind wandered. I'm still feeling over the moon with my new glasses. It's marvellous being able to see clearly, but there are a couple of odd effects. Firstly I feel as if I now have a long body with short arms and legs. Secondly the ground looks as if it is tilted from left to right, and sloping upwards in front of me. I expect I shall soon get used to it.
I also remembered that I shall be in the group representing the historic building in our carnival this year. On Monday I was measured up for a costume from the Early Modern Period. I shall also wear it when we have special events at the building. I'm going to look a right Charlie in that get-up, sat behind a plastic keyboard! But it'll be a bit of fun.

Next thing

In a minute I shall be off to the allotment to give the new planting another good watering. Then it'll be up to the bus stop to get myself home. I need to have a wash and brush-up and iron a shirt, as I am playing later on this morning.

First thing

I woke up to a beautiful, sunny morning. It stayed mild last night, so I think we may be in for a very warm day. I think I'm starting to get more used to the new tablets, as it isn't taking me quite so long to come round of a morning. I took my time with the fags and coffee, listening to the birdsong and looking round my friend's garden. That's a lovely way to start the day!

Sleep

I slept quite soundly last night, although my sleep was much pestered by strange dreams. I remember being awake once during the night, although I did feel very drowsy.

Not satisfied

I'm still very concerned and upset about a thoroughly dishonourable and disreputable politician's position on the board of a mental health charity. At the same time the same politician is actively targeting the disabled, and actively reducing their quality of life. I've still not heard from either the said MP or the said charity, so I've just written to them again. It just won't do. It's an utter disgrace.

In the meanwhile

I've been a busy boy! Earlier on I called in at a garden centre, half-way between where I live and where my friend lives. I bought the following plants: brussels sprouts, purple sprouting broccoli, broad beans and marigolds. So I went down to the allotment and got everything planted out. It looks a treat, and I'm in for a bumper harvest, provided the local wildlife doesn't get it first.
Then it was on to my friend's. I've had piano and maths with his two kids, which I really enjoyed. Then I had dinner, which I also enjoyed. Now it's chilling-out time. The weather has been lovely all day, and we are in for a spell of hot weather (if the forecast is to be believed).
