...... but ..... ......... after a week-end away ..... and a good one, I dove into the Joan-Taped Rugby League game ....... what a game and we won - even.
Watch the Ozzie game this coming Saturday to see how GB faces up to the big boys. I will miss it because I have another week-end away.
And pleased about it..... the week-end that is.

Today was an unusual visit to a vibrant capital city ......... unusual because I met both daughters Joy and Ann ........ what a treat as we sat and had a light lunch in a French style cafe in Covent Garden - London Town.
Ann slipped out of her office in Covent Garden having filmed to her best level last week ..... directing humans to stick cameras and sound recorders up peoples noses in the cause of a programme called ...... (and this is to confuse google)
....you are what you stinking eeaatt!
Joy was not only seeing her dad but seeing the country!

Then I hired a personal shopper to take me around doing some shopping.
Yes it was Joy who makes her living styling models vip's and her dad!
I was after some footwear for the winter commuting through an urban landscape ....... wet/snow/ice and brrr. So I was thinking of an all leather trainer type - ideally a boot with some tread so I will not slip under a train from a wet platform........ 20 shops later ..... ducking and diving down all the side streets - as you do in her biz .... I found three pair in the last stop. Two, nice and comfortable - with no tread stink, and then one pair which I now have. Prada by name ....... they will be on show over the next three winters - at least.
Also bought with an old HMV voucher;
1 U2 Vetigo single ...... for the b side
2 Tiesto (3 years on the trot voted the best DJ in the world) doing his Olympic mix ........ yes the one he did as the athletes paraded this year.
3 The Return of Jack Splash by Plant Life.

My favourite music - as you may know, is a fuze of different kinds - usually with a dance influence - but fused with either Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop or more .......... we in the UK seem to be at the forefront in the creation of such art. Loveitloveitloveit.

I have so much to click but the brain and the slow fingers will not work too well.

But ...... how about this
The two Chinese characters;
1 One which spells 'danger'
2 Another spells 'opportunity'

TOGETHER ..... in Chinese .... they spell...........

......... 'crisis'

Sometimes the most dangerous times bring out the greatest opportunities.
I don't say we seek the danger but when we go through such time ......... for me - they were, at the end, some of the most wonder-FULL.
