Another different day

Hello friends, Another day without the sun however, it is not cold nor snowy, rainy or are we expecting ice in any form except maybe in a glass. Since our last journey i went on a visit to the BBC (Brittish Broadcasting Company) it is like a small city of it's own. I found out the information about visiting and where else but on a train. Made the appointment and myself and a small group of about 10 people tramped through studios ect for 2 hours. Amazing it was going to a radio show tomorrow night because of it. That was an early am thing which made the rest of the day availaable so what else it there to do but get on a train and go somewhere. (I have a brit rail pass so I can go anywhere). This time I took the trip to Hereford. I had to make a change inb Newport where ever that is and yes I met another lady who had asked me to watch her luggage while she took her dog (big big dog) for his what ev er. We sat together on the train with the dog of course and started chatting. Most interesting person. She is English but leaves town like I do to do different things. Her's was to go to Alaska learn how to drive a dog sled ect. She did and so successful at it she not only went into the ididarod race but went with a team to the North Pole. As we were approaching Hereford she asked me if I would stay and go back to the farm she is on in Wales and spend a few days there. Because of other commitments I couldn't but next trip I shall be there. We are staying in touch and a possibility we may be going to Africa together to do a backpack trip together. I went for a look around Hereford went to the Cathedral got on another train for Worcester which I had no idea where that was either. during these rides the train went through parts of Wales. The scenery was beautiful. On the way back to London which took over 3 hours, I met up with an elderly gentleman who invited me for evening tea at his sisters place. I denied only to feel good that people are friendly if you are. Yesterday brought me to the afternoon theater to see Phanthom of the Opera. There is no way I could explain it other than remarkable even beyond that. I left the theater headed towards Trafleggar square to see what was on for St Martins in the fields church for the Christmas caroles. On my way there an elderly gentleman ahead just fell on the sidewalk out cold. He was well dressed a lady called 999 for help along came a medic on a motorcycle with all kinds of bags attached to it with meds ect. He tried and tried to revive him as well as the ambulance crew which came after to no avail. It just left everyone in a bad state not knowing who he was who he left behind and why. I did continue on the the church but not in the mood for the caroles just walked around a bit before coming back to Kenningston.

On a better not the underground also has it's many enteraining things as well. Besides the musicians playing everything and anything for a few bits of money dropped the crowds of blankless people just waiting to get on and got going. No eye contact whatever only blank stares while on the train. Last night was different. I got on at Convant Garden packed train as usual only it did not go anywhere. The doors were still open when a voice came on "get your foot out of the door" doors still open and again the same voice tone and words. Of course you have to picture this in a cockney accent. Number three only the word bloody foot was now added as well as we have a train behind us waiting as well for us to leave. Again nonething. Police arrive on the scene of course no one see as it was in another car ahead and people started laughing and communication with one another. Good ride it was after that packed and all.

Today is another theater day. I have been able to achieve to get cheap but good tickets. This day will be to see The Lion King. I plan on going to a few other places to have a look before I have to be at the 2:30 showing.

Hopefully will be able to leave on Saturday after I met some people that are taking me to their home (I haven't met these people at all) in Bourmouth to meet Samaritans and get some more training) Liverpool hopefully be the next visit. Tuesday brings an all day class with the Samaritans on speaking with the schools. I have no idea where this place is where again I shall be picked up by Allastair who ever he is.

In all it's been wonderful but like all good things have to come to an end well not excatly and only another beginning around the corner and that will be soon.

Keep on living everyone time is running out on this computer so have to go plus someone I don't think I['d like to know just sat down beside me.

By for now until the next time
