Studying

So my broken leg and dislocated ankle had driven me crazy, sitting home each day wondering what the future would hold. 

I decided to push the issue with my surgeon to go back to work and do office duties, I finally won and started back this week working in the prosecution office. An area that is beneficial to my future, but after three days I must say I am struggling a little with their process, but I will get used to it. The studying has stimulated my brain at Last

AND previously to starting back at work I decided to stop playing photographer and actually study the art and process. I can say I have started and finished my first two modules with high scores in my examinations (for what they are worth). I have learnt a little but Im excited to get into the more practical side.

I have also started to travel to work on train system that I normally Police, it certainly is a different prospective when you are a passenger. People amaze me, generally they are all well behaved and polite, but some seem to think the world is theirs and theirs only. I had no option today but to sit beside a lady who had a carry on bag with wheels, she had no intention of moving it.

I sat down on the chair and looked at her and she looked back. She had the look of my whole house is in this bag I am not moving it for you because you wear a shirt and pants and work in an office. I could not get my legs in, so I pushed the bag slowly towards her, and she looked at me with disgust, like she had the right to have her bag in my seat space because she was on the train first. Well I pushed it a little more, she lifted her left leg over the bag and down the side of it in process wiping her shoe deliberately down my trousers. Cow. I looked and smiled and said "thank you thats very kind". From there on I spread my ams and legs to the boundary of my space leaving her with minimal space, she deserved it. She looked like the typical I hate men type, moustache,  jeans, sweater, flat shoes and beady piercing eyes and probably hairy armpits (smelt like it).

On Arrival at Perth I sat there and waited until the last second before moving to get off knowing she was itchy to get off and go on her way, it was a little pay back for me, childish but satisfying.

Its nice to able to go to work in good clothing, not a uniform, to blend in with the norm and feel like your just a person travelling to work. It has also given me the opportunity to continue the reading of Borrack Obamas autobiography a book i started two years ago. When it is finished I moving on the author and funny man Brendon O'CCARROL, if you have not read or seen him, I suggest you look for him and watch Mrs Browns Boys.

Best Wishes

Dentist

I had to go to dentist today, yesterday I was chewing nuts at work and then suddenly a bit of my bottom tooth chipped off. 

517$ later and two fillings they are fixed. 

Charming Dentist at Baldivis family dentist, she was a young strikingly petite and dark skinned girl. She told me her story of life as a girl from Leeds and studied in Wigan. 

It was a delight really, white fillings pain free and lovely dentist, meant the cost was like just a part of Great service and not a hole in my pocket. 

Not the greatest photo but the best iPhone effort I could manage. 

Here From Multiply

Hello, Hello, Hello,

Well, after MULTIPLY.COM shut down my other blog after nine years I have arrived here, I wont plan a life time of blogging here as clearly there are no guarantees.

I had my whole photographic and scripted life set out in multiply and paid a yearly premium fee, it was a place I could say what I think, where I have been and be open and honest, but now it has gone for ever. SADLY.

Which brings me here, a place I will try to call my blog home, a place I can say what I want when I want and if people dont like it then dont read or come back. I will shock you with my openess and honesty, probably.

I have spent most of my life searching for happiness, and to date true happiness has only come from my son Ben, the other people seem to flaunt in, use you up and flaunt out. There is more to life than me it seems. I find it hard to understand how you can be intimate, loving caring with and for a person then they just pick up and leave and never communicate again. That to me shows a lack of caring and character. Its like they seem to think its all down to me, let Moory contact me and say hello ill just ignore until then. And yes they have lives and are busy, but there is no excuse for ignorance and shutting me away completely. Be a friend, lover, soul mate, colleague, once you have been in my life and I have cared and shared with you, I am in it for life, but its a two way street. I have been used to many times for love for money for food for a roof and sometimes all of the latter, its all a learning curve. I know that I was cheated, dishonoured, lied too and u caressingly dismissed, BUT I AM STRONGER  now.

On the whole I have had a lucky life, good jobs, roof over my head, partners I cared deeply for, great travels, inspirational friends, financial luck and great friends and colleagues. Should not complain.

Let the blogging begin

Waiting

This photo shows what I am about really, sitting and waiting and smiling, hoping that maybe next time will be the right time.

Like this owl from Brisbane I wish I could just take off and fly to somewhere new, whenever I wanted too but life is not like that.

I will try and figure this blog thing out and do regular updates and photo albums, but no promises.
