My mother had an irrational phobia over phone costs. Last ten years of her life I am pretty sure I paid for all the phone bills, I think it was something to do with getting my name on a utility bill for marriage anyway I digress. Even then she would tear up if I used the phone over the cost.
So I could give all sorts of DSMIV diagnostic criteria but if there is anyone reading here who seems to think that giving me a mobile number is a handy way to keep in touch it will cause irreparable damage to my limited relationship with Dendo the Magnificent with whom I am currently staying. Luckily I don't think I need to see anyone desperately. Stuff will happen. But please stop offering me a mobile number to telephone. I am sure back in the real world that's how people chat to each other I had a vague idea some mobile numbers are free for some of the time.
I don't have a phone. I don't want a phone. If anyone really wants to see me it can be arranged. I don't intend to be in London for long enough to bother those people whom I know don't wish to see me. So this morning I'll visit Oliver looks like Avatar may still be on. And although he would probably allow me to use his mobile to phone the man with my warm winter clothes I don't have his number to hand and it seems too much of a faff.
I phoned him from the Ealing Abbey to let him know not to come to the Airport as I had arrived on a much earlier flight. He then telephoned the Abbey helpline but they don't really know who I am. It's clothes not sure how important they are for me. Actually thinking about it. If he does stroll up the day before I leave with warm winter clothes what on earth am I going to do with them aside from drop them off at a charity shop coz no way am I taking warm winter clothes to Kottayam with.
And then John the Just suggests meeting up about handing over control of some of my money. But since Rick the Healer won't be back till 30th no point in my phoning him. His land line now I do have, John the Just but no point hassling him till they are both in the same country. Then they will either hand over my money in a smooth signing ceremony like SALT III or they will say it's gotten very complicated and maybe I should be more patient in which case I'll take another loan from them to pay for my flight to Kottayam and leave them to it.
Now today it does look like Avatar may still be on. But screw mobiles my plans would not be any more fixed if I had a mobile I'd just have loads of conflicting text messages listed with a few missed calls. Interestingly one of Dennis' friends turned up unexpectedly from the north with a tale of romance foiled involving mobiles. When do you text and when you do you call and when do you just wait. I think the romance was foiled because although she had waited the correct time 2 hours she texted when she should have phoned. As if a romance can be foiled on protocol. The mobile just moves the battlefield.
I haven't written my amazing novel trilogy because I can't find a suitable fountain pen. And then when I get the pen I'll need the right type of ink. I think I'll just wash some clothes and not bother with the guy i don't know and the warm winter stuff especially as it doesn't sound right. He lives a few minutes away but hasn't been able to get in touch with me. If I were his drug dealer and he needed to score he'd have found me by now.
Stevie is pissing me off mind. Show yourself you wannabee chink.
