 Hello. Me again. Well, I've re-done the Bellerophon symbol thingy up there, and it seems to be okay now. The whole thing is based loosely around the Golden Ratio, but I don't really have the time to explain how or why right now . . . but it is. I did this last night, perhaps when I should have been completing my next university maths assignment . . . but still, I managed to get over half of that done anyway . . . so it's all okay. The picture was taken at 09:02 this morning. I was just about to leave the house when I saw this intact web. Perhaps the spider had just finished it. I was initially tempted to move the spider along ("Sure, build your webs, but not here, okay? That's my loudspeaker (out of frame) you've attached yourself to there") but then I remembered that it would only be there for a day anyway. Webs don't last long. Spiders like that probably have to rebuild it every day. So . . . take a picture, and off to work.

Then, after work, once again . . . a trip to Bar Home . . . there were four of us initially: me, Rav, Lisa and the new guy, Paul. We sat upstairs, next to two teenage girls who had a very young (less than two months old) child with them. They kindly moved along the C-shaped sofa when they realised the three of us (someone was still at the bar) had no where, as yet, to sit. Then, about half an hour later, just before we left, they asked us to take a photograph of the three of them. I was given this task. I took the camera by the strap (attached at one of the bottom corners) . . . it was a point-and-click. You know the kind . . . a button for the flash (on/off), a button to take the picture . . . maybe zoom in and out . . . black plastic.  "Everyone ready then?" I called out. The two girls were smiling at the camera, the child - completely oblivious to it all in this strange, plastic 'child carrier' - between them, so I shouted out, "Okay then," and took the picture, but the girl who had handed me the camera was making out that it had caught her by surprise. "What, you blinked? Do you want me to take it again?" but, no, it was fine. I think I tried asking again, because I couldn't really work out what she was saying, but I think the moment had gone . . . so we left, on to the Angel, then the Mixing Tin and, following a phone call at about 20:15 I dashed back to my house, a couple of strange beers from Safeway in my ruck-sack . . . just two bottles this time, and no Dead Man's Ale . . . lovely stuff. Did I ever mention Dead Man's Ale? A gorgeous, wheat beer from Oregon. The ingredients label reads, "Water, Wheat, Hops, Yeast," I think in that order . . . surely? But they didn't have any. So I got a different wheat beer, I think this one being from Belgium, and some French beer that I couldn't really make much sense of . . . it had a cork, I remember that. So, I cycle back to my house, perhaps got changed, and then went to M****'s, and then onto Anna's . . . and I have pictures somewhere . . . this one (above) from 21:51.
|  Then it gets a bit complex . . . this picture (to the left), taken at 22:02, shows Kim and Eve - Simon's cigarettes. These were bought in Cologne that weekend at the end of June, and somehow ended up in Anna's possession. This should do as proof to Simon - Kim and Eve are okay. Simon, you know what to do.

You see, it was to be Anna's birthday on Sunday, so she had wisely set aside most of the weekend for celebrating. The celebrations began on Friday night, see. At some point Rich and Liz disappeared to do a bit of hunting and gathering. M**** insisted that I needed some food. I ended up with some 'chips' and this 7" battered sausage (I think made of pig) . . . I managed about half of it all.
