fairground attraction

At some point last year, having taken the train up and down the country for the umpteenth time[1] I realised that every single time I got the train there was always a girl usually half a carriage away wearing a t-shirt in a marvellous shade of green that I would then find very attractive. Of course, it was always a different girl, so it led me to wonder about the way in which attraction works.

So, over time I’ve evolved the theory and come to realise that there are three colours what make girls attractive to my eyes and they are pretty much any vibrant shade of green, blue or pink. Though rule breakers (wearing different colours to these) are naturally even more attractive until I figure it out what draws me to them.

Now, vibrant shades I thought: “where would I get obsessed with bright colours from?”
Then as I was sat on the tube yesterday I looked up at the tube map and it all made sense.

I now also know why I live in Hammersmith.

Short status update.

I am indeed, still alive.

Bit shocked, but being a (smug) cyclist I do note that my commute was intensely dull and ordinary today (appart from my pointless 3mph crash into a Mercedes in the morning).

SF/London people – no Ton for me – though I could cycle in for a pint, it’s not quite the best idea I guess…

Me no have migraine now

…well, not so much.

My month long course of beta blockers seem to have been most effective, and now I’m down to the odd migraine every now and then. I’ve switched my painkiller from ibuprofen to the paracetamol/codeine I was given an emergency prescription for at the start of all this and found it to be incredibly effective, even in the reduced dose Boots sell over the counter.

So now, I’ve had the odd tingle once a week or so, but I can get rid of it within a good hour or so.

It’s quite liberating, I feel awake, inteligent, alive and dare I say it, happy!

Happier still for my sister, who got married somewhere in the middle of my month of sleepy days.
