my belief in 'Trust' has been at an all time low...
but not lost. Time to move on.

A bloke's March 2006 online journal

Somebody told me that I worry too much
but I just keep on Rocking.

Wednesday 1st March
Not a good day, as the arm took control.

Thursday 2nd March
Wasted another day.

Friday 3rd March
Wasn't awake, when Tony A arrived to help me clear my shed
but was so pleased to find my 45s, especially
Green Eyed God, by Steel Mill,
and was disappointed that my present Vinyl player
didn't appear to play at 45, causing me to re-organise my A\V setup through the night.

Saturday 4th March
Woke late, but enjoyed a further clear-out of the shed
and enjoyed finding my 'tapes' of more past music
and a letter to my Dad, from Buckingham Palace,
before a visit to the supermarket
and a penultimate weekend chat, with John, the 'Woody's' Landlord.

Sunday 5th March
Sheena phoned and it was lovely to hear a female voice on waking,
as I listened to the answer machine later, but got on the road in time
to journey out to Macclesfield, to help sort out Liz R's problem,
happily listening to the old 'cassette tapes' that were also found in the shed
before returning home in time for a Sunday banter, as Tony A arrived in the evening.

Monday 6th March
Got stuff done, in the morning, before, next door but 2, for 9 years, Paula popped in,
a stranger, and, after I accepted her PC challenge, I enjoyed the lingering scent and smile
before Chris M popped in to update his website, and have a nice chat,
following the sad loss of his Dad, a really nice chap,
before a usual Monday 'old blokes' session in the Woody later.

Tuesday 7th March
After a brief visit from Tom C in the afternoon, swapping phones, I prepared myself
for a possible night-out in Chester, but was equally happy to spend the 'local's farewell'
evening with John, the Landlord, in the Woody, in his nearly ex-pub.

Wednesday 8th March
Got my Chapter stuff done for April
before a good 'open and close' meeting at Whitby Lodge, in the evening,
and enjoyed chatting in the bar, later, and, on returning home,
found the 45 rpm button on the record player
and really enjoyed hearing 'forgotten' singles, memories, again,
by Norman Greenbaum, Steel Mill, Curved Air, East of Eden, CCS, Lobo,
Deodato, Peter Sarstedt, Laurie Anderson, Booker T, Duane Eddy, etc.

Thursday 9th March
Not a good day, as the arm took control of my attention again.

Friday 10th March
Another bad day.

Saturday 11th March
And another.

Sunday 12th March
Tony A popped in with some cans, and I felt better.

Monday 13th March
Got myself greased
and prepared myself to get across to the Woody
but was concerned that Ernie was missing.

Tuesday 14th March
Ian M popped in, in the evening, with a bottle of wine.

Wednesday 15th March
Went for a Chinese meal with some other friends of John H, the Woody's landlord,
and then got locked in, till the early hours, appreciating the hard work that John and Lucy
had put into creating a good community space, before a dodgy Video card took out my TV pc.

Thursday 16th March
Enjoyed myself at a superb evening with Hooton Park,
thanks to John B's invite again,
but felt guilty leaving early
as I went on to the Woody, to wish John H and Lucy
'Good Luck' in their retirement.

Friday 17th March
Popped across to Michael H's home
and then to Paula's, next-door-but-2 (opposite Michael H),
and felt good, after leaving their PCs, especially after Paula's hug,
sufficient to enjoy a pint in the Woody later, with Scotty and Nick,
despite the crowds of 'young females' and their erstwhile escorts.

My first Wife's Birthday

Saturday 18th March
Saddened by the end of the 6-Nations Rugby matches,
but gladdened by Tony A's delivery of some wood-mulch, from his chopped down tree,
and we shared a pleasant pint later, in the Woody.

Sunday 19th March
Received a lovely E-card from Sheena
before Tony A arrived for our Sunday moan about Women's infidelities and aftershocks,
but managed to get myself into trance later, and a restful sleep,
but didn't manage to convince myself to get up any earlier.

Monday 20th March
Switched off two alarms in the morning and yet slept till early afternoon, again,
and missed Brian B' kind visit, with his interpretation of my fond 'Scargill' moments,
but managed to moisturise sufficiently for a Monday pint with Ernie, in the evening.

Tuesday 21st March
Managed to get up, mid-day, and get out to collect the undelivered 'registered' mail,
from last Thursday, and, after Chris M had popped in, for a friendly chat, and a nice phone chat
with Nick L later, after I'd sorted my Chapter stuff, attending an unattended committee meeting, I ended up in the Woody for the last hour, and then got into Neil Young,
and wondered... at how I would have done things differently.

I'm pleased that I can chat with Sally, my first Love (in harmony with her present),
 via the computer, and would enjoy chatting with Gill sometime, as with any of my past Loves,
if I were to bump into them again, and would probably look up Brenda, Erika, Chris, etc.
on the Internet, wishing them all kind thoughts, if I could remember their surnames,
but I'm proud that none of my past 'female' explorations have left any animosity...
OK, I'm sorry Heidrün.

Wednesday 22nd March
Got some housework done, aware of Anthea's motivational standards
and felt good with a nice bath of lotion... but moved,
while attached to my mp3 player... whooops.

Thursday 23rd March
Ian M popped in, and he managed a couple of hours of relaxation
before his lads started to phone\bother him, and, after he had to leave,
I enjoyed popping across to the Woody for a chat with Phil P and his Son, etc..

Friday 24th March
Paranormal John popped in, and I'm looking forward to a Plas Teg vigil next week,
before a committee meeting interrupted our chat and, after dropping my minutes at home,
I enjoyed good conversation in the Woody's bar again.

Saturday 25th March
After a phone call from Sarah, I was happy to pop into Chester
to pick her, and Lee, up, before she cooked up a lovely Mexican meal
and we also shared a couple of games of Scrabble... a lovely evening.

Sunday 26th March
Tony A popped in for our Sunday evening chat.

Monday 27th March
Forgot about the arm and enjoyed the last hour in the Woody.

Tuesday 28th March
Another wasted day.

Wednesday 29th March
Another wasted day with the arm but enjoyed an hour in the Woody later.

Thursday 30th March
Tony A popped in again in the afternoon
before we met again later in the evening for a pint in the Woody
and I'm pleased with how he's coping with the post-divorce house-sale.

Friday 31st March
Got up in time to meet Kate, a nice Lady, on Nick L's recommendation,
and a Paranormal John visit, before a good Chapter practice, early evening,
and then I enjoyed a rain soaked visit to the Woody before closing.
