I guess the ultimate goal is to term temporary freedom into permanent freedom. With that in mind I left my phone charging in the socket next to my bed a couple of hours ago and left my flat and wandered down to Newcastle Quayside. A ten minute walk downhill from where I live. I found a record stall on the edge if the Tyne that I've frequented over the almost eighteen years I've lived in Newcastle. I had a brief chat with the stall owner; a friendly bearded fellow who remembered me too.
We chatted about this and that and I bought a copy of Trespass by Genesus which seemed reasonably priced. He popped in a splendid purple sleeve which reminded me if the Hazlenut Caramel's from Quality Street. We bade each other farewell and I made my way up Grey Street, called by some the finest street in Europe. It certainly seemed so this afternoon , I felt unencumbered without my phone. Noticed the phenomenal quality of the Georgian architecture. Observed the faces of the people I passed. Speculated on them. The great mystery; other people.
19th April 2026. There's never a bad time to take a new step. Make a new resolution. Some time without my phone on a daily basis if I can. Who knows how far I'll get. As for Trespass, I like it, I care for Gabriel's Genesis more and mire as I make my way into my sixties
