Herons and cyberstars
Up to the smoke today. Went to see Mum and Mase to hang out chatting and eating tuna sandwiches and apple strudel mit ice cream. Discussing such things as their next door neighbour who is painting a dead tree in their garden brown. He has concrete dogs which he waters too. Each to his own.
Mum and I then discussed the children's book project we're working on. Using her artistic skills she is going to make me rich and famous beyond my wildest imaginings. Heh-heh.
Mum and I went off then on the bus and had a bit of a ramble across several fields near Elstree in the sun and cold wind, while Mase did some ghastly things to do with tax. Mum is going to have her operation on the 30th and we were planning various strategies. I will hang out with Mase off and on while she is in hospital, and maybe afterwards when Mum is recovering at home. We saw a nice heron at one point very close. At first Mum thought it was a sculpture of a heron (one of the many scattered across the countryside) until it took flight. I like herons, there is something a bit pterodactylish about them.
Met Mex in town later. Lots to catch up on. Had just enough bandwidth to take on board all her plans and schemes, and learn about things like Twitter, and being an outlyer - which is what she is according to Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirkey which I have just ordered on Amazon. She is going from strength to strength in her career, and it was great to hear. Mex taking a photo of the food we were eating for Qype. She is a cyberstar.
Then off on the train to Brighton, which broke down at East Croydon - cue mass carthorsey gallop across the bridge to the other platform. A nice bonus though. Bumped into a well-refreshed Reubster on the train shortly before we reached Brighton and had a nice chat with him.
Very tired but watched an epsiode of Scrubs. And then bed was a blessed thing.
