Life Begins

I thought I was gradually getting over my general forgetfullness: I haven’t left my guitar on a train for a good few months, but yesterday I left my phone in Kenilworth (a great name for an album, possibly replacing “I left my toothbrush in San Francisco”, which my friend Tom did a few years ago). I’ve got out of the habit of checking what the one thing I’ve forgotten is before I travel - there’s always something. Maybe the one thing I’ve been forgetting is remembering to check what the one thing I’ve forgotten is.

I managed to assume a fairly sanguine attitude on the trip back despite not really feeling that way, not realising that losing your phone isn’t much to worry about these days. The phone company have replaced my SIM for free and I’ve put the new one into my previous phone, so there’s no rush to get the new phone back (apart from the fact that I really like it!) I had a senior moment as I thought “maybe I could call Lisa and ask her to come back to the station and we could go back to her house and get the phone, we’ve got plenty of time before the train comes” before realising that I had no way to contact her, because I’d left my phone at her house.

Back in Croydon we had a great edition of Freedom of Expression at The Green Dragon with Liz Crawford and Cellar Door doing extended sets after a couple of withdrawls. Then Jenny and I went home and watched the new Doctor Who episode. Brilliant. How do they manage it. Thoughtful and exciting, although not quite as scary as the trailers and publicity had led us to believe.
