3483 - Cheesy date

Watching the OJ Simpson drama now
Then I'll rehearse my comedy a while
Now it's on ITV, the Adverts Show
(It could be called) goes for that extra mile
I've exercised, ironed, and done TEFL
I've played guitar, and almost got some beer
But no, instead I ate, now I'm quite full
Because the spud was big, and I declare
I ate a big slab of Stilton, I saw
It there and couldn't resist it somehow
It's quiet on the dating front, I've trialled
Sending proactive messages out there
But no response, I guess that that is how
The women on there are, not got much style :(

3482 - Tea for three

A very cold evening with a clear sky
But quite a good day, wrote two funny songs
One of them was based on Come Fly With Me
The other on You Were Made For Me, on
The subject of the EU, no less. Fun?
It's hard on that subject, but I still tried
Also did some TEFL, read Unit 10
But still need to do the test, as the time
Meant I had to go to Louis' - a tied
Final, City and Liverpool, but I
Missed the end, out for tea and the Szechuan
Kitchen for a 4 course meal for 10 quid
Drink of milk on way home, nearly ready
For bed, will read a while, then day is done

3481 - Father daughter mother

A fun day with Josephine, chat abounds
As we walked round Old T, Lowry, Arndale
It was too cold to stay outside the ground
She didn't even zip up for a while
It didn't snow but it was very cool
Got Mother's Day stuff for Tania with Jo
Fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens it ruled
Great fish, great batter, great chips, gravy too
Derby lost at Wolves, their season is through
I suspect, but that's not quite as profound
As sorting my own life out, on the trail
Of happiness, fulfilment, the road to
Nirvana. Now home, it's time to make sounds
My feet ache but my fingers want a trial

3480 - Tussles over Brussels

Listening to the Freakbeat Scene CD
While I type this and also watch the news
Excited to see that on the TV
Is an EU in/out debate, let's choose!
I've already chosen out, I say lose
The Brussels bureaucrats, but I still may
Change my mind before the vote, hey, who knows
Don't feel like doing that much - it's Friday
Evening, after all, and I've kept away
From buying booze, so that's good, save money
And just do stuff, like TEFL, but my views
On Brexit are quite strong, and what they say
On this debate may be of interest. We
Can't take this vote easy, complex issues

3479 - It's my life

These days are exciting, non-stop, full on
Not only today, but tonight, it rocks
I'm lucky, still hunger for progression
And it drives me to clamber over rocks
To the conformists, I wish them the pox
I decide what I think and do, not them
And though I'm ageing and losing my looks
What does that matter, as long as my end
Is not yet reached, let's keep on, don't know when
I'll find the goal, or if, but while the sun
Is up there giving warmth, I'll keep my looks
On the inside, even if it offends
I'll live my life to the full, if I can
I'm happy, free to overcome the knocks

3478 - Eat yourself fitter

A fun day at work, coffee at Nero's
I avoided mocha and cream, sugar
I try to cut down on that vice of course
Partly because beer has lots, dammit, beer
But so does wine and spirits, and it's clear
They have more alcohol, and that's not good
I rarely touch them these days. And I fear
My belly is expanding more outward
At least I exercise and walk forwards
And back again from work on my work days
And at the weekend I walk far further
Tonight I walked home, then to town, solid
Man City performance in Kiev, Lou's
Wishes came true, next round beckons, oh yeah

3477 - Searching for the perfect meet

Chatted a bit to J online tonight
After my guitar practice, but of course
Also an invite for this Sunday night
More bubble tea and Chinese grub and sauce
Played quickly 60s and Sparks melodies
And bass and lead parts too, getting real fast
Now, improvising whenever I please
I try to play tricky stuff, I can boast
That I never play the same way twice, cast
The dice each split second, playing that's quite
Impossible to plan or to rehearse
But who is J? She's the first to have chats
With me online, going well, but she's not
Agreed to meet yet cos she's shy, she says!
