Day 37

I was over at the chaplain's office for about 90 minutes, mostly just talking about what I'll be doing with my time there. I'll be doing a few days each week. A welcome break.

Day 36

There's nothing like a bit of escapism. So far today I've watched two prison movies. Namely Chopper, with Eric Bana(na), and Mean Machine, with that fine actor Vinnie Jones.

Day 35

Alex, the prison chaplain came in to see me again about the job in this chaplain's office. I start on Wednesday.

Day 34

Had a visit today from my mum and a couple of relatives. During the visit one of the officers removed my crutches, presumably to stop us from filling them with crack cocaine while no-one was looking. Muppets.

Day 33

I have developed a theory. I believe that our TV companies have formed some sort of alliance with the pub and club owners of the land, whereby the the TV people fill their weekend schedules with such unutterable drivel that people feel compelled to leave the house and seek refuge in the pub.

Day 32

I heard some sort of scuffle outside my door today. From what I could gather, someone fell - or was pushed - down the stairs, propmting many threats of phone calls to lawyers.

Day 31

The prison chaplain, Alex, came in to see me today. He's been making arrangements around the job we discussed, and hopefully the job would start next week. I might even get a pass, allowing me to roam around the prison unescorted.
