Ups

Downs

• Went to Barnsley
• Didnt go to West Tanfield after all
• Was constantly tired
• Discovered I am suffering from one of the not so pleasant, hardly noticable but embarrasing side effects of one of my tablets. Looking it up on google is not advisable. The condition itself brings on depression.
• All the chestnuts I got from the park are tiddly

Also in the park was a weird guy dressed in black. He was sculking round the Yew tree area of Reynolds Park. Occasionally washing his hands in a orange juice carton. angelhands and I noticed strange symbols marked into the dirt under the tree. This weird geezer kept walking just out of view behind the trees but we knew he was there cos he was looking at us in that way people look at people without trying to be obvious. Only he was obvious. Anyway, a bit later we walked round the trees and looked back at him. There he was stood behind the trees wiggling his hands. Like you might do to dry wet hands in the absence of a towel or you dont want to wet your trousers. Very strange.
