Why have all my shoes disintegrated at the same time? All my favourite pairs of trainers are rapidly becoming unwearable. Big holes appear on the heel and rips occur in the lining. I have to stuff an old pair of socks in the heel so that my foot is not directly placed on the floor.

A man became angry at me during my morning walk. I was at the Bank Bottleneck and accidentally kicked a man in the shins from behind. He was fuming and began to shout and berate me and said some rather horrible and hurtful things. In a way I do not blame him.
Kicking someone directly in […]
No, I am not angry that the brilliant US band Pavement are no more, this is to do with the causeway.

Saturday the 10th November marks the Lord Mayor’s Show – one of the longest running and best-known annual events in London. The appointment of a new Lord Mayor is marked by a light-hearted street parade, combining modern day carnival with traditional British pageantry. The Lord Mayor sits on a specially built viewing area at Mansion House, […]
I witnessed a young lad being knocked over by a SUV this morning. He was walking behind it and the driver decided to reverse into the main road without looking. Bonk! The lad went down. He got right back up, dusted himself off and continued on his way as though nothing had happened. The driver […]
