    Default Central Park, Harold Hill 3rd August 2020

    Walked down to local shops then back through the park, first stroll I've had in a long time.



    One of many entrances



    Cricket pitch







    Back out into the bustling metropolis, my road

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I see that it is Harold Godwinson's old manor; as in the Harold who caught an arrow in the eye at the battle of Hastings.

    If he had been wearing a faceshield things might have turned out differently.

    Well he did have a safety helmet on, just luck of the draw I suppose.

    Must be great to have a big park like that so close. All we've got is a bit of scrubland next to the Sainsburys. And that's fenced off.

    Well yeah, he was too busy chasing round the country fending off invasions. Poor bloke didn't get five minutes to himself.

    It's a very pleasant shortcut back from the shops but there's an even bigger country park even closer to me. It doesn't really show on the map but 'Dagnam Park' stretches all the way to the M25 & there's actually a foot tunnel under the motorway if you want to venture further.
