2 Atoms in a Molecule..

2 Atoms in a Molecule is the Song I am currently listening to by a band called 'Noah and the Whale'. I quite like them.

I'm not sure why I have taken to this blogging malarky but it seems that I have. It seems quite nice to sit up at 2:15am and write stuff rather than sleep. ((The Song has changed to 5 years time, by the same band))

This evening I was pleasently surprised by someone I Consider to be a great friend, Whilst searching through my Ipod looking for a song to play on my Church's Friday Club minibus, I was shocked at the request of 'Do you have any Lily Allen? She has a quirky voice' Normally a request such as this would have not been so shocking, but this question came from none other than Matthew Warnock, the 39 year old Minibus Driver who up untill this moment has managed not to have a computer at his home or watch (I suspect) more than an hours TV a week.

I would never have thought him to be a Lily Allen Fan.

I went for a walk this evening at 1:00am. I found it really relaxing. There was no-one about and I just walked through Cornard untill I got a little lazy and sat on a fence somewhere in the middle of one of the Estates. For 30 Minutes I heard nothing but the sound of a plane passing over, the light buzzing and the occasional call of what I think was an owl. It was Bliss.
About 20 minutes into my little sit down, I became aware that one of the residents had left his house and was now watching me as I sat and though. This disturbed me a little. Not because some strange man had taken to watching me, but because I hadn't up untill now realised that modern life has become so sceptical.

Never before this walk would I have thought, that the presence of one person, sitting silently could cause enough distress to a person that they would leave they're home to simply watch said person . As I got up and began to walk away I heard him walk back into his home and close the door. I did not hear him lock it.

Can a person out in the street really make you feel more unsafe than leaving your door unlocked?

These are the two thing I learnt today:

1) Matt Warnock the 39 year old minibus driver who doesnt have a computer or watch TV likes Lily Allen.
2) A person sitting in the street is more unsafe than leaving your door unlocked at 1:30am.
