Life

I'm at home now, it's late on a Sunday evening, and I'll be going to work in the morning. It's dark but warm out, today was an unusually warm day. I have a lamp on and I just listen to some soft music as I get ready for bed.

I'm very busy these days. I seldom get a chance to write my blog, as any readers of this blog should know by now. I take pictures from time to time, snapshots of my life in London. I'll share a handful here.

Work
I work just east of the City of London. I get out at Liverpool Street Station every morning, as do thousands of other city workers. Together, as a great mass of bodies, we heave out of the station to go to work, day in day out.



London
There's lots to do and see in London, I stroll around a lot. There're nice parks and architecture, there're classical concerts and plays, art exhibitions, and all sorts of other things to occupy one's self with. Outside work, being involed in London takes up a lot of time. As nice as London can be, I find I haven't much time to myself. I also get the feeling, increasingly, of being too couped up in London, I sort of yearn to get out into nature a bit. I spent most of my time in buildings.



Home
I have a nice room to myself, not far from Hyde Park. Occasionally I get the chance to roam in the park after work. Usually the only time I spend at home is in the evening. I have a view of the next building's fire exit. I can hear pigeons in the cavity between. I'm happy enough here.

My new PC

Well I've now got my own PC. I wish I didn't have one, because having one disrupts my otherwise calm life-style. It's 2am now and if I didn't have a computer I would have read and gone to sleep by midnight. I've had the laptop 3 days and already the Windows Vista Anti-Virus tool has told me that I have 452 viruses on my computer and prompts me to pay £50 to buy a licence to be able to remove them.

On running my computer for the first time, my machine had to go through a series of updates which took about 2 hours. Not very pleased with welcome I've had to Windows. I'm thinking about why I didn't get a mac or why I shouldn't soon move to Linux instead.

Frustrated.

Routine

After *a very long time*, my life has fallen back into routine. Work on the weekdays, relax on the weekends. My current lifestyle doesn't allow for much blogging. Work is busy and outside work, well, I seldom have access to a computer. I quite enjoy not having a computer at home. But there's pressure on me from various sources to buy a computer. So I might have one soon. If I do get one, I expect it will mean more regular blog entries from me. I've been taking all sorts of photos as well, so it might mean I actually get to put them on here. Maybe even back on my Flickr! ^^

Today rained all day. It didn't affect me so much as I was stuck in the office. But now, in the evening, it's pleasant being indoors while it rains outside. I listen to soft songs by a genius of a musician called Jo Yun-Sook but who goes by the title of 'Lucid Fall'. Some songs are here. They're all nice, but try 'Why do I need feet when I have...'

While I enjoy not having a computer, I do miss being in contact with people. It's hard to squeeze in all my communications at work, having a computer at home would let me do that! Oh well, this is all I have to write right now. Wishing you all the best. Yoni
