arnica layer cake network shoplifter nippy

so i'm in a shop today with josiah & grace, josiah returning some rice milk for some that has calcium in it,

a small shop, no room really for a baby buggy, constantly in peoples way...

picked up another tube of arnica,

lovely as ever to see grace... (josiah would hate that, oh, it's lovely to see grace is it? noone ever wants to see her mum anymore...)... lovely to see josiah too...

josiah having an argument at the till, eventually she storms out the calcium rice milk is more expensive so she has to pay something, she's off to get some money.. i ask how much it is, 40p, i pay it, we load up the rice milk in the buggy, we leave, josiah comes back 5 minutes later ranting about customer service.

we walked up to the amazon where i was having breakfast while she & grace went up to crystal to meet nippy & R (R her son, rather than R her partner), (crystal where i met that pickpocket), but before we get to the cafe i find the arnica in my pocket, oh well, i tell josiah, she delighted, funny to be a shoplifter again (that is a very long story - another time).

so i ate my breakfast while they ate lamb, chatted a little with S, fairly recent waitress there, about art, artists, the rent...

then i went up to crystal to hang out with them, nippy & R even came back here, R keen to play me @ chess, for some reason i was less considerate with R today, beat him twice, he was cool though, good for him i guess, but it's hard losing when you're 12,

grace came round for an hour or so, climbing stairs, playing the piano, i played her the skryabin thing, she added her own part to it, (like when i played wild is the wind @ her blessing, but this not a performance so i more than happy to go where she goes...), i also sang her harbour walls at least the verse which is based on a melody i wrote for her, the wa ha song, really moved me singing that to her, she lost interest after the verse but she had that quiet listening for the melody (or at least that's what i'd like to think)...

then me & dr K went to see layercake, she for the second time, 2for1 orange wednesday thing, pretty good, nice to see a quality english film for once, really nice to chill out with dr K, on the way home i wore my brand new reversible fleece reversed, horrible tartanesque pattern on the inside, the one and only time i'm wearing it like that in public, she said it looked like something her dad would wear...

and now here i am setting up the network that links together these computers, well at least mine and this basement one, information courtesy of my brother D, satisfying...

so pretty cool day really, it's 12:23 now, got a little preparation work to do for tomorrow but i should be in bed by 1,... conscious of sleep more now from being so rubbish on tuesday...
