"Leisure is the mother of philosophy"
Thomas Hobbes.


Al obvely free breakfast this morning. Started with a croissant,then the cooked breakfast of two eggs, two sausages, beans and mushrooms, one slice of bacon and toast,followed by a mango yogurt.
Whilst walking to the breakfast room the cat was outside and soon as it saw bounded over to get somefuss and stroking,

Later on, after a short trip to the library and to finish my last report, the cat was being cuddled by one of the support workers. This cat is no fool. Knows where its bread is buttered.

On my last visit yesterday i found some awesome shoes at half price, only £25 to which my research company will pay £20 for them- so in the end it will only cost me a five pound note. They are a pair of Puma sneakers.

This morning i listens to some music by Vaughan Williams - perhaps my favourite British composer of all time.

So after the long day yesterday i am taking Thomas Hobbes advice.

There was a cold wind yesterday and the night had dipped down to almost zero degree centigrade but today it is already a much warmer day without that chill factor wind.

Tomorrow i have another supermarket store visit. This time in Ashford but i will not be able to covertly shop it till at least five in the afternoon. It will be another excuse to go over to Faversham and dosome book browsing.

John D. Barrow "The Book Of Nothing" (Vintage)






He may use flowery language to convey his thesis on the aspect of nothing and that to some he tried to cover so much stuff that it never lingered anywhere but when you are dealing with the vacuum of space in a non technical way to lay readers then you have to take time (in both senses of it as well as spactime) to convey such complex cosmological information. It may be heavy going at times but i did enjoy this book.

Perhaps not the best book to describe such things as the vacuum state,inflation, black body radiation , the cassimir effect or the value of the cosmological constant (lambda), so with this caveat i would suggest other books to read first.

Well, some light at the end of the tunnel in Agents of SHIELD. May finally discovers that something is wrong with this "real world" and that Daisy is right about the fiction created.

I look forward to the next thrilling episode.
