Welcome to the world of hotness<\/p>\n
Stone me, it’s warm out there.<\/p>\n
No, really.<\/p>\n
Humid-hot.<\/p>\n
The kind of humidity I’d expect in Hong Kong – monsoon season.<\/p>\n
Prince and Purple Rain.<\/p>\n
Thanks for asking.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
Kilburn – right now.<\/p>\n
Anyway the hotness.<\/p>\n
I walked briskly – didn’t run – about 250m for the train, yet I feel as if I’ve just come out of the shower.<\/p>\n
If I’d stuck to the plan I’d have made it on time, on target.<\/p>\n
But I got seduced.<\/p>\n
All day vegetarian breakfast – \u00a34.70.<\/p>\n
So I caved in.<\/p>\n
And as a result of my greed my planning went out of the window and I had to walk quickly for the train.
\nErm, hope I’m on the right one!<\/p>\n
Just going past the new Wembly stadium.<\/p>\n
From here it doesn’t look as imposing as I’d thought it might – no more statuesque than Old Trafford (which I know v.well from the year of living in Manchester).<\/p>\n
A track called Neanderthal – don’t ask me who it’s by; the person who flipped it at me didn’t give me that fragment of information.<\/p>\n
But it’s good; very rocky.<\/p>\n
Sudbury Hill Harrow just went past.<\/p>\n
Where?<\/p>\n
Oh yes, Northolt Park.<\/p>\n
There’s a house – just down there – with a miniature observatory dome in the back garden.<\/p>\n
The thing is with London is it doesn’t sell itself very well.<\/p>\n
It’s too easy to focus on the negative; the positive rarely gets as emphasised as the less good.<\/p>\n
I suppose an element of that is the nature of the news media – bad news is (for them) good.<\/p>\n
I’ve seen, this morning, many good things and… thinking about it… no bad.<\/p>\n
The nature of a capital city (well, most capital cities – Luxembourg not included) is a crush of people in a rush.<\/p>\n
All busy, concentrating on getting from A to B and anything else is ignored until it can be processed at a later time or date.<\/p>\n
Therefore it’s easy to see a capital city as a large, impersonal heaving morass of nameless faces.<\/p>\n
And that, let’s face it, is not good; not conducive to the natural state of humanity.<\/p>\n
I see that Amy has described me as Arty Slightly Odd Guy.<\/p>\n
OMG Amy, throw a guy a lifeline, wouldja?<\/p>\n
In your eyes I’m either Uncle Perv or Arty Slightly Odd Guy?<\/p>\n
Doomed!<\/p>\n
Beaconsfield out there, The Feeling in my ears.<\/p>\n
