drinking in the sun like an ancient god travelling time, early morning beach sprawl, waves messy, sporadic horde of people passing by, i splash around like some sort of bird in deep water. frustrated with the surf i walk back to the morning, the cafes, the people, the humdrum, the haze, the dog days, the meandering glimpse through newspapers and my book, the sacred history. i read something about emanation that resonates with me. i flick through the morning, head home to wish my mum a happy birthday on skype, 75 she tells me, she's taking turmeric supplements, reckons it's saved her life. we chit chat for a while, she asks if i'll come to london again, offers to pay for the flight but i'm really not interested after the last debacle. 
god, these days i like home and my little beach, the idea of london reduces me to fear and drooling. i fucking hate that place, i'd go to bali, santa fe, nyc, tokyo, tel aviv in a flash but london no way.
strange that i can have a reasonable conversation with my mum after years of her being nasty, i realise she's been at the whisky so i guess it's softened her up a little, we don't speak for to long, i always get nervous that she will turn on me, so after a few minites i can't wait to get off the line.
later i hunt around looking for a cd to play in the car, i pick up 'warp factor 9' i have never played it and i'm really excited to hear it. in the car i slide it in, the first song sounds remarkably like pink floyd, it's david gilmore on guitar, when i hear the second track i'm stunned at how pink floyd like it sounds, this can't be right i think, ejecting the cd. it's the division bell. wrong cd in the case, where is warp factor 9?
i can't believe it!
driving along listening to the division bell i hit the richard wright track, 'turning inside out.' 
best song on the album except for that strange synthesiser bit, what were they thinking, it just don't work, thankfully it's not long, the tone is wrong. i'd substitute that part with some xylophones and chimes, not that harmonic tone, it's just wrong enough to irritate me, far to cheesy. 
wonder where my warp factor cd is?
