I am smiling more than usual. Smiling because I have been inspired to be more true to myself. Surprised that the experience has been so delightful. And, frankly, amazed that this had not been clearer to me before.

It seems compromise is fine on some of the bigger choices in life, but not on a massive list of smaller things. Those small things are important. Things like the smell of ozone on a sunny day, being hypnotised by jazz saxophone, or the ability, when it really matters, to jump on a plane somewhere - now. Add these things together and they make up your soul.

The problem with big choices is that they have a bad habit of blocking the small soulful things for too long. From now on big compromises are fine, but only if they allow for bigtime smalltime soulfulness.

This morning featured blue skies, the Good Times Sound System, and a realisation that I love my walk through Soho to work.

Almost enough to be pleased to return, after almost 5 weeks of glorious holiday. But not quite...

Bought lunch today, as two weeks ago, at the Edinburgh farmers market. Marissa Mayer spent quite a while telling the U.K. TV industry that Google means them no harm. By the time I escaped most stalls had closed. The hog roast people had loads of tasty crunchy bits of pork left, but refused to serve me. Then one kind woman said she had just enough sausages to make  a sandwich.

Tasty herby chipolatas with a beautiful piece of moist ciabatta.  It was divine.
