Tis been a day of contemplation and walking. I got up and decided that what I needed was to go to town. I didn't need to but I quite fancied it. The first place that I went to was Spar to get some food and then walked on.
Further into town I strolled and saw a sign advertising a CD fair at the guild hall. I have no idea where the guild hall was and I didn't want to stay too long in town so I just walked on.
Ummm, then I started to daydream as I listened to my walkman (yes that was walkman, not ipod, merely drag and drop into the walkman files and that is all that needs to be done woo woo). It was due to my spaced- out- ness that I almost passed Wayne and Kim, two of my writing compadre's. As we were talking I saw someone famous, someone I had heard of many a time but had not seen or heard of before.......the singing big issue dude.
I then travelled into the waiting bosom of Waterstones and then to the leathery arms of HMV. I then went to a few more places.
It was on the way back from town that the excitement happened... I mean the embarressment. The first thing was 'the head turn.' I walked past a man who coughed, but at the time I thought that he said 'Ed', so I turned to look to him and he looked at me weirdly. The next embarressing thing that happened was that I was waiting for the red light to come on so that I could cross the road. As I waited I thought about something I had seen on youtube which I found funny. This lead me to unleash a loud but brief overture of laughter that forced itself from my chest and out of my mouth. I then stood there until finally I could quickly walk away from the other ''standers.'' (Being a self- confessed Ed is not merely a principle, it's a way of life.)
A productive day methinks.
And now I am back and writing this blog. Beep beep la go fludu gabba.
Over and out.

Sunday at home with the family.
It's been a right day for weather today as you, anonymous reader may have experienced yourself. I woke up after a good nights sleep, the normal questions buzzing round my head every time I am in a half conscious state,
"What's going on? Where am I? What's my name?" I then realised that the dream I had awoken from was actually in fact ...a dream. This lead to a mighty disappointment, I was quite enjoying it (I can't remember it now by the way.)
So I roll out of bed and pulled back the curtains and with joy I said "Well right ruddy heck, it's snow. Oh how I do love to run in the snow and create snow men. I'm just so bally excited at the moment, I must pull out my fiddle and do a jig to express my joy at this most wonderful time." I then took out the instrument and began playing, bursting out of the room, prancing about the house and then eventually skipping with my family outside so that we may all eat dinner and drink mulled wine in the snow to celebrate this most wondrous turn of events.
That was not my real reaction, funnily enough. My reaction was more along the lines of,
"Huh, it seems to have snowed during the night." (I do believed I shrugged forthwith after this statement, I may have also scrratched my head...) The last description was more exciting though so I give you permission to think that that was the event that happened upon my waking from my slumber.
The rest of the day was good. I had a Sunday roasted dinner with chicken in tasty sauce, roast potatoes and veg. The pudding was tasty, tasty stroodle, served with tasty, tasty, tasty bitter fizzy lemon juice. I then read from my tasty, tasty book and looked at things on my tasty laptop and then I began typing some tasty words which enriched my tasty short story.
...oh yeah and the snow had disappeared by about 4. 30 pm.....what's that all about?
All in all the day was very complimentary to the enjoyment of my life. It was also good to see my nan as well.

These past few days.
I've been busy researching.
"What have you been researching?".........I am assuming, dear reader that this is the visage of the thought that has just popped into your head. If this is not the case then I will answer this question anyway for the sake of continuity.
Well I have been researching ritual and how it has affected humanity, also I have been looking at the use of symbols to create understanding and symbols as a representation for a concept, thought, society or group. Fascinating stuff and not as complicated as it sounds I assure you.
(By the way I have just read that previous paragraph back and I can't understand why I sound somewhat like an Elizabethan noble...but colourful language makes these blogs more interesting I suppose so why stop now.)
What else has been going on in my life? (This question is rhetorical, this was not another question that I thought you might be thinking...even though you may be thinking it but there you go.)
I have been writing a helluva lot for my portfolio. So far I have written about one thousand and something words and it is shaping up to be a piece that I am become proud of. I will leave it as a short story for the sake of grades but at the end of this academic year I may make it into a less shorter story if you catch my drift, I have a few ideas for more characters banging around in my head so here's to another potential project.
So here I am, at my home for the weekend with my family, a book by my side and tingling fingers from writing this blog too quickly. I shall now retire from typing because I think I have said enough......and to be honest I can't be bothered to type anymore because I want to get some reading of my book under my belt.
Over and Out.
(P.S---This is just a personal memo to me but please Ed, stop using brackets for useless pieces of information during blog narratives, close brackets.)
