Alignment and it’s importance

​ Do you remember Sesame Street? Each episode was brought to you by a letter in the alphabet. I think this blog will be brought to you by a listening soundtrack and location of where I’m writing to you.  Today’s soundtrack is David Bowie and I’m writing from Hampstead Heath . It’s been far too long since I’ve been here. I’ve only been here for about 29 minutes and it’s healing already.  This is one of my favourite parks and I should come here more. One of my most favourite London streets is here. I dream of living on this road one day. Check out Hillway, Makepeace Ave and Langbourne Ave. Big pretty houses. Probably normal American size but big for the average Brit. I think I like it because it’s something that would you would see on TV. To be honest, these houses look quite American really.

She goes on to explain that another friend of hers has bought a ticket, but this friend doesn’t want to sit alone.  To quote “ I’m a chicken and I won’t sit alone.” WTF - are you being serious 🧐. You’re asking me to go because you don’t want to go alone. What???? Knowing me, being with me is a privilege. I’m not a stop gap, I’m not a filler, I’m not...

​ August 22nd 2026 I don’t know where to start it’s not even 6am   on Saturday and what I was going to write about has slight been derailed. Then again.. it follows on the theme of my family which I was going to update you on.   I’ve just read this text in the family thread from my sister directed to my dad.  @⁨Dad⁩  let me know when you have news. FYI family. Daddy is in (local) hospital. He fell/passed out at (nursing home) today around 3pm after having 2 1/2 vodka cocktails at the cocktail party there. He also vomited. (Friend) was with him, nurse came and they sent him to the (local) hospital by ambulance. I spoke to him at 8:30pm and have not had an update since. Now what am I supposed to do with this. Here are some of the options  1. Do nothing  2. Do nothing  3. Do nothing and grab yourself a drink I am going with option 1, or you could say it was option 3, but does a tea with lots of honey count. Well save the vodka co...
