In a strange twist of events l found myself in conversation with a young lady who had attended Layer Road for a match against Hull City in our first season in The Championship. The 5-1 encounter.
We were attending a promo evening for a band called The Datsuns in North London in 2008.
During the evening she explained that she had been present at a party that made the national news due to the tragic death of someone by the name of Mark Blanco.
The incident occurred in December 2006.
This incident will be shown on Channel 4 on Monday night at 22.00 in an hour long documentary and several people known to me have made contributions.
It may be of interest to some.
I am very much hoping that the police will reinvestigate the death of Mark Blanco as a result of what will be included in the content.
I know that what l was told by this young lady 15 years ago has been instrumental in the making of this documentary.

Just to confirm that John Stephens is John Legend and Tobias Gad is Tobias Gad.
Just wanted to clear that up from this side of the pond.
Sending great vibes to followers in the U.S.A. |
One of the lines from 'All of me' -
'Put your cards on the table, we're both showing hearts'
I just had to revisit this song at day break with the lyrics on screen.....
I noticed something in the recording process with the breathing and a cut ....not sure if l had picked up on that before.
It's a delicate piece of fine tuning to a perfect recording. | | | |

It's taken me about 12 years to really listen to 'All of Me' by John Legend in detail.....the piano notes are like footsteps treading softly from star to star....the official video on YouTube is standing at around 2.48 billion....that's a real connection with people's dreams and aspirations around the world.
I think l was about 16 when just to walk through Colchester beside my dream girl from Lexden had me in some kind of trance....her starlight created a dimension of being that had me spellbound.
Listening to 'All of Me' took me back to those few hours back in 1969 and it likely takes it's listeners on a similar journey. | | | |

2004.
I'm with a Doctor at East Hill Surgery in Colchester.
He asks me a bizarre set of questions.
I try and answer them best l can and with each answer his frown becomes more deeply etched.
After about the eighth question he says 'You are Gerald xxxxxxxx'.
I say 'No'. |
Now that amused me | | | |

Now that amused me |
One of the questions that the doctor asked was -
'What colour are your stools?'
I replied 'Brilliant White'.
He looked perplexed and l think he wrote it down.
I wondered how on earth he knew about the new breakfast bar fittings and what they had to do with anything.
They had only been delivered the previous day. | | | |

If there is one thing that puts a halt to writing it's organising building work and learning about drainage and pipework.
Quite a project required at Sparkfilms HQ after earth movements here on Riverside.
My first Buildings Insurance claim in over 30 years and only the second in this lifetime.

Inspected the most incredible vinyl record collection today that l will catalogue for auction.
Included are - Elastica, Joy Division, Beatles, Smiths, PJ Harvey, Radiohead....etc...these records are mint unplayed with many first pressings and this was just the first box in the pile in storage at a unit in Essex.
The second box was all David Bowie and included Limited Edition Boxed Sets - some appear unopened.
Only inspected a few boxes and begin the project at the end of the week
There was also a wall of guitars, high quality hi - fi systems ( new / boxed ), keyboards and mixing desks etc.
There were several vinyl auctions on around the U.K. in the past week - gross combined sales were over £450,000. | | | |

On the subject of auctions l was watching a television programme last night where an individual had to sell off his 30 year collection of antiques, architectural salvage and related items to finance the renovation of a substantial Georgian property in Bath.
The auction took place about a year ago and the gross proceeds from the sale were over £800,000. That was not made completely clear in the docu but auction results are viewable for reference post sale.
At a guess that would have provided Andrew Pritchard of Salvage Hunters ( known as Drew Pritchard ) around £580,000 net.
I have followed Salvage Hunters for several years now and learned quite a bit from it. The production team have filmed in the Colchester area on several occasions over the past few years. | | | |

The contractors arrived from Kent yesterday and began the urgent building work required on my home.
We discussed Maidstone's incredible win at Portman Road in the F.A. Cup last year and l was entertained by the cameras that showed images in and under my property.
I have been without kitchen and bathroom for over a week but with improvisation have survived.
It's strange what you relate to when faced with a challenge and l was reminded of the plight of those in Gaza who had no shelter of any kind. | | | |
