(I had meant to include at this point a web address where apparently they pay for short prose pieces. The info isn't to hand immediately. I know where I can get it from (again). Then you'll know)
Continuing from the last entry, GIVING, yes I have had more of these curious phone-calls that can be made fun of forever more. You'd be thinking probably after a short while doesn't that bloke have a life? I won't stop them, it's at least one way to know what is about...That's the story
And I've wondered what one can put in a regular blog. There surely is enough happening.
Went to a gig in Mansfield 9 days ago now. To my surprise the performer I went to see and others there were startled a bit to realise I'd come 'all the way from Manchester by bus'.The train-journey/fair was a p___take, and the bus is alright. It was a John Hegley concert and I met a lady there Michelle Hubbard. She's done Speakeasy, had Segun recently performing at her regular venue BLACKDROP in Nottingham she said and had lost her voice that night!
Interesting stuff she does. Has no idea I'm passing-on word of her:

The evening was a stormer overall. I had 4 hours to kill before taking the transport back. I never never knew one could learn so darned much just sitting in a cafe, looking on. Yes really! The thought's just forming in my mind that Airpot bookstalls/railway station bookstalls; are they necessary?
I had and have more stuff to put on but I want to end on that note for now possibly get some feedback. Some time ago I came across an extremely common-place type remark which I've thought was an incredible truth. A guy writing a guide to a city said he'd planned including a
part on meeting people by way of gatecrashing parties and the like.Then realised there are people all around to be met, it's we cutting ourselves off. No going deep on this. I'd just be interested in other views
I'd 4 hours to kill till the transport back pulled up so decided a tenner on pies and the rubbish sold in this 'eaterie' might just be worth it. It was Rubbish too apart from the fish. Downed it all - less than £10-00 worth in 30 minutes. Spent 3hrs 30 with mineral water - small bottle of it. I wondered how come they didn't even hint I should leave
They'd just received though zero in the star ratings from their local newspaper, The Chad. Maybe they thought (I reflected) I was checking up from somewhere.
Obviously not Michelin. Trading standards or whatever
Anyway: this business of connecting-up easy, it's true isn't it? We put people off, inadvertently probably. See you all on here very soon!
