Pointless Existence

@SW-User Do you know, I feel a bit like a kid : "I'll show you mine if you show me yours". I don't like feeling narcissistic (don't know how to spell that). Every so often I tell myself to lighten up. In a way I'm using you. Wish you had some way of using me back. It's good to have you as a friend. Do you know London well?

@alan20 I know if fairly well. But not as well as say a taxi driver might know it. 🤷

@SW-User After every holiday period I'd seek a new room having given notice to my previous landlady, to save some money during vacation. Started out in Hornsey ; ended in Putney. We used enjoy our walks to Richmond, Kew and all the rest . We used haunt Hampstead, , Kenwood. . Regents Park, Strawberry Hill , etc. Landladies are a very strange breed. The ever so righteous "Alan" got thrown out by two for having his girl in his room. Towards the end of my time in London I worked as pianist for a ballet school run by a young aristocrat , Lady...... I'd better not say her name. I loved wandering the streets late at night and got mugged three times but as I never had much money they didn't get much. On one occasion I actually persuaded my attackers to give me back the photo of my girl before they made off with my wallet. I used enjoy the feeling of danger, walking in Queens Wood in the Highgate area, trying not to collide with the trees in the pitch dark . One night there was a very loud gunshot close to me followed by a man laughing. I crouched down motionless for about twenty minutes before getting to hell out of it. London of course can be a very lonely place when your girlfriend isn't over from her college in Belfast. I'd better stop monopolising your Sunday. Thanks for the chat.

@goodlil666 Thank you. The penny dropped since : the 20 in my username came from my address at the time after the site rejected "Imago".

@Ferric67 I don't need to work hard to achieve that.

@SW-User Self-expression isn't vanity.
