0012 Daily Notes 2013 Saturday 12th October with TV, Robert peston programme in particular

0012 Daily notes 2013 Saturday October 12 at 6.00 after a sleep difficult night with my nose affecting SL machine use together with a particular and more general restlessness so that I have been up for at lest an hour, probably more and laying in bed unable to get back to sleep from the first waking around 3.30 or at least so it appeared.

I have weighed and begin look better after the effort yesterday but will continue to day and having played games reaching 11 million Mah Jong, a run of 85 to 1650 in patience and ten games level 4 chess but no major lottery win to transform my situation and be able to deal with one or two of the underlying worries which affect sleep.

I will write finishing 0010 and possibly 0011 and work on the films reviews reports.

6.50 Corrected and uploaded 0010 and 0011, and printed out but not otherwise processed.

　

11.10 Tired I returned to bed around 7 and slept with vivid dreaming until 10.30. Rise again and after finding the phone et al I settle down to finishing the writing of Blue Jasmine.

I am torn between more writing and sorting out what there is to sort. The exercise session will come have to come later. First I check the TV and then my programme for the coming week. Do I want to go and see an Othello relay on Monday. The vital England game is Tuesday. Flu Jab is Wednesday and I have lunch out on Thursday. Must get birthday card off for Saturday week when Newcastle play Liverpool at home, not on my telly subscription so may go to the city to watch on big screen in pub. There is a medical science lecture on Tuesday which does not appeal while that on Thursday clashes and is not significant whereas the following Tuesday, on T Dan Smith is a must. I will also go and see The Fifth Estate on Julian Lesage I will use cheap day Tuesday and book up now for an early showing. 11.25

12.10 Booked online up for Tuesday afternoon and watched Surprise Surprise with two great stories the last a woman who had searched for her brother for 35 years and who had found another brother early and they meet someone who appears to be living on his own. There was no reference to the families of the three individuals. This contrasted with the earlier story of a young woman full of life who out one evening with the girls had drunk too much and fallen into a river at low tide breaking her neck and becoming paralysed from the waist own but her boyfriend and stayed with her, moving in with the parent, changing jobs, friends and rugby club for her and doing seven marathons in a week raising funds in part for a special bike and for a visit to a specialist clinic in the USA. He gets boots and ball from Johnny Wilkinson and a visit to watch him play in France while she gets the bike and a trip to the USA Clinic.

Lunch is a snack pot noodle which hopefully will keep me going until a pizza later. Not quite ready for first exercise session so will start on writing about the most recent Young Montalbano. 12.25 but change mind and some games listening to Classic FM

　

14.25 Played games for longer than I should with 11.5 million Mah-Jong, a run of 14 at level four chess and 90 games of Patience. But have had a very good 18 minutes on the Wii with doing the best short bike job ever and also very good first time with golf shots and the observed jog saving the ordinary jog, step balance and perhaps some boxing for the second session around 5 . Weighing later in the day is usually different, higher than morning. Now for the Young Montalbano. Also entered lottery with regular numbers and raffle with 2 tickets at £4

16.00 completed Montalbano piece and also investigated hospitality at Arsenal and Crystal Palace as I will for the Oval when the season is announced also for Wimbledon re 75 birthday treats involving cousins. Now for second exercise session and then a Pizza.

16.49 Good second session 33 minutes combined and feel nicely warmed up calorie burn needs to improve though.

00.30 The pizza was good although too much black pepper was added and I needed a tin of rice with cinnamon to round off the meal. I enjoyed a Robert Peston programme helping to explain how we have come to borrow too much as a nation collectively and individually. He commenced with the role of Tesco , green Shields stamps and all that and collective purchasing, now World wide in order to keep the control on prices meeting the needs of the customers, original coming out of recession which is the same today. This was followed by changing the style with throwing out the Chintz and exchanging rooms and furniture’s arising from the Ikea development which originated in Warrington in the UK first and then the great change commenced through Marks and Spencers were from boasting about everything sold was British made ....90% they have moved to a situation where virtually nothing is is manufactured in the UK with the impact on workers in the clothing industry down from three quarters of million to under one hundred thousands and then the great credit booms people buying things which they then never or threw away Primark all resulting in the situation of people getting more and more into debt.

Started to watch Come Dancing strictly which I then finished at 11 after the last Young Montalbano of the present series. One couple had started at an extraordinary level getting 4 9 week three while at the bottom there is a more serious and genuine approach by the big contestants and there is a solid grumping the middle around the 28/40 range.

I had also watched the start of the X Factor with a great Performance from Sam Baily the Prison officer who was outstanding for Sharon although one of her group was later in the sing off tomorrow having been given the lowest votes in thee new end of programme ten minute Flash Vote. The other outstanding act came at the end the black street group singing a Phil Collins song, the second of his numbers sang by a contestant on the night. The young lad from Scotland did well and I though the other two lads were weaker and the first young female, from a Croydon retail bakery sandwich place which I think is the one I use between the Travel Lodge and station from the morning I went in for the hot breakfast roll and coffee deal. 12.40 time for bed now and will correct in the morning. It has been a full day. Completed second exercise session restricting myself to 30-35 minutes in total for a week
