45

the reason the sky is blue is because of a gas called ozone in the upper parts of the atmosphere. its is a bluish coloured gas and from underneath (on earth) you are looking up through it and see its blueness. once you go beyond it (approx 60 miles) into space you reach the blackness of nothing. i mention this because the last 6 months in london you would have thought the sky was a grey/white and you may have thought ozone was a grey/white thick gas settled at about a mile up. it isn't. 


today i got to see ozone. it is a most beautiful gaseous compund of 3 oxygen atoms fused together and for what seems like an eternity i also basked in the light produced by the star around which this lump of rock that we live on, orbits. the forecast for tomorrow is that ozone shall be observable from ground level again and electromagnetic radiation produced by the star we orbit will also be directed at our planet, and in levels that could be dangerous were it not for the ozone layer and the magenetosphere protecting us. 


i cycled to the gym today and will do so again tomorrow. will hit it hard tomorrow. 


work was ok this week. tolerable, and we cant really ask for more than that. i have an interview on monday mid morning so will have to make an excuse to go missing for a couple of hours. it sounds like it might be a good job and its a good firm (an investment bank) so will see how it goes. 


in a strange coincidence, the bank that i had a telephone interview with but didnt call me in, because i was unenthusiastic about the work they wanted me to do, is the same bank that announced it lost $2bn last thursday on some bad trades. they probably sensed it that i like to use my brain. according to their chief executives comments on thursday, it seems like there maybe some people at the bank that really could do with using theirs as well.


today i have mostly been listening to the gaslight anthem - 45. these fellas are turning into one of my most favourite bands. this is a new song from their new album thats due to come out soon.
