Killing two birds with one stone. Cleaning the kitchen and listening to the music on my ipod on shuffle. Not just because it's a long time since I listened to music but the not controlling of it was good. Accepting every tune for what it is to me, good or just ok. Made me realise how hard it is (for me) not to want to control what I'm exposed to and how hard it is to just go with the flow when you have become 'set' in your ways.


In the space of a week my son has read a book called 'The Power of Now', started realising things about himself and has now just purchased a book called something like 'How to become rich'.


Good lad.

By even more chance Honaloochie Boogie was a question on the Popmaster quiz on Radio 2 this morning.

Went with my sister to a ballet show at the end of a week-long holiday workshop. We watched as 14 girls from about 6 to 16 danced beautifully - then my nephew appeared, the only boy, 6 a week ago, big happy smile, wrong t-shirt, one arm in plaster up to the armpit. Brings tears to my eyes even now.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky.
