This has been a long long day during which my spirits plummeted as the day progressed without any specific precipitating cause and it was to be another dozen hours before I understood the feeling and its implications.
Yet there were several reasons to have felt differently. It was a good day in terms of my physical health. There is still a cough but it is occasional and not prolonged. I need to avoid taking further risks and part of the self discipline required is to gradually lose and maintain the loss of weight. It is all about achieving greater self discipline and less self indulgence, except where the self preoccupation directly leads to great self discipline. Self discipline can be self indulgent if it becomes and end in its self.
I completed the second volume of photographs of the coast between the Rivers Tyne and Wear. I replaced three of the cartridges after a continuing problem with the colour balance and this immediately worked, I completed the master volume and then went through the three completed volumes to changing a couple of photographs where the colour balance and then completed the fourth where there was more to do. The master edition created seven new sets and has its own black box, one of the smaller size versions in height, unintentionally purchased from Ikea when I acquired the second supply after those bought over the first three years from Staples, and where I had a gap of several months before coming across those in black, also in red and blue which are of superior quality to those I bought from Staples during the second year. I will upload the photographs to Myspace and continue working on the My Space but only after I have complete a number of minor tasks around the house and in my work. I have a mania approach to things which are not directly part of my work or do not immediately add positive experience. One of my problems is that new experience is a device which prevents dealing with some of the basic problems and tasks of living day to day. I shall label myself an experience junkie running away from the reality of what has gone before.
Abstinence from food excess will have to be matched with abstinence from excessive life experience, I did some registration work before lunch and, the period between lunch and the evening meal although there is still some more to do which I hope to do during the course of tomorrow whatever decision is taken as the day progresses on the trip to London.
I kept to the decision about watching the match on television after a good lunch of the roast chicken breast roast potatoes, some stuffing and small sausages, followed by a bowl of grapes, There evening I had two salami rolls and a banana and for breakfast there was a bowl of cereal and a 50 grams of smoked salmon on one slice of toast, For tea there was carton of prawns in shell. This was a higher quantity than over the previous week, and indication of physical improvement but also how easy it will be to slip back into the situation of before. I also drank more tea than water, and there was no exercise to note other than journeys around the house.
Sunderland won 2,0 against Portsmouth, both goals scored by Richardson who promised much at Man U and was talked of an England regular but never lived up to expectation. I was impressed with him as with Kenwyn Jones. And after the disastrous disappointment of the cup game against Widnes when all seemed doom the three points places the team as one four, where three having the opportunity to cling to the Premiership for another season. There are two other clubs who could be drawn into the end of season scrap and two others who appeared doomed short of a miracle run and one or two have a compensating disaster. It could happened but unlikely.
I watched the first of the new series of Ice Dancing with the surprising contestant Gareth Gates who has become a mature young man losing his stamina but not his determination and perfectionism. In the Big brother House Andy McNab hijacked not only the House but two contestant Anthony and Oxford Ruskin School of Art contemporary art student Amy who were taken for hours of interrogation to reveal a code number. Anthony was eventually conned into giving the number on the basis that he would win a pardon against eviction for all the housemates, which was false if the thought about, given that this series is only three weeks in length. The realization of this was damaging to his pride and self estimation and confidence. The concept behind this aspect of the programme was evidently that these high achievers should be able to cope with the rigours of hardship, albeit temporary and manufactured, than average contestants. The present series however it is dressed up is making a judgement about how a group of high achievers cope with humiliating and self exposing situations compared with previous groups.
The prize of winning for Amy was £5000, exemption from eviction nomination and the choice of one other am unsurprisingly she choose Anthony. There were snippets to indicate that John showed leadership and courage.
The final programme this evening was a report on Liverpool's opening weekend and European Capital of Culture. It was revealed that many of the those heading the project from Chief Executive to artistic director resigned over recent months and that many felt there had been no leadership and vision with everyone doing their own thing The one person who I expected to be trhere but who was not Cilla Black. Ken Dodd out from hospital. Ringo the McCann brothers, there were other actors and artists but I am yet to locate the definitive list. It is estimated that the decision has led to two thousand million pounds of new capital investment and development in the city and Merseyside.
Earlier there was a dramatization of Lark Rise to Candleford, a ten part dramatization of the Flora Thompson memoir of growing up in a corner of Oxfordshire towards the end of the 19c century first published during World War 2.
