So what should I write about? Something interesting, I
suppose. Let me see, what’s the most interesting thing that has happened to me
recently?
I had my hair cut yesterday for the first time since February. I
regard that as being very interesting indeed because it has a welcome side and
a dubious side.
The welcome side is that I no longer look like a second
generation model for Wurzel Gummidge. The dubious side is that I no longer look
like an aged Albert Einstein (or one of sundry nutty professors) either. Does
that disturb me, you might ask. I don’t know. This is the point at which my ego
becomes confused. Nothing new there, though. Being confused is happening a lot
lately.

Currently watching the movie Cloud Atlas. I’ve got to the 1¾ hour point and think I might just
be realising what the hell it’s all about. That’s not bad, apparently, since I’m
reliably informed that some lesser beings require at least three watchings before
they realise what the hell it’s all about, so maybe the nutty professor image
suits me after all. Then again, I have to be honest and admit that the factor
which is most aiding comprehension and greatly adding to my enjoyment is the
fact that the black female lead is absolutely bloody gorgeous and the Chinese
female lead has the most enchanting legs. And that remark is not as flippant as
it might appear on first consideration. It gives me a vital clue as to what I
should be looking for from the outset next time around.

Meanwhile, many thanks to the much esteemed person who unwittingly
favoured me with the grace of her presence for a few short minutes on Wednesday.
According to the old Radio 4 pundit, Rabbi Lionel Blue, the fact of it having been
unwitting is what raised her persona to that of an angel. Not being religious
by nature, I’m happy to concur.
