My life is like that too! I don't plan much ahead if ever. Not into scheduled life as our routined day job live is way too routine already.
I try to live spontaneously! It is far too under appreciated.

As a pensioner I am on permanent holiday, and a Freedom Pass to travel. Just want some decent weather.

I am rather surprised to be honest. I know DG's family and social status leaves him freer than many to entertain and educate us all so well, but I always assume there's no way he can be so prolific, get around so many places in a single weekend, and, particularly, be able to stick to pre-announced themes and annual patterns (e.g. Random Borough, Tube lines, The Count) without a great deal of advance planning.
Perhaps he is taking a very well deserved break from planning and we're going to see more randomness.
No worries DG. Enjoy it.

Nothing planned for Open House weekend, etc ?

I feel a lot freer when I do have things scheduled in my diary - things I've chosen to do - rather than being at the mercy of events and others' whims. I feel as I'm in control of my life. It drives me mad when others can't or won't bring themselves to make arrangements in advance on the grounds that 'I don't know what I'll be doing then'. Put something in the diary, then you will know! This only applies if there are actually things you want to do, of course.

Bring your father and come and enjoy an afternoon at the Barton House Railway in Wroxham this Sunday. Nearest mainline BR station is Hoveton & Wroxham and then a short easy walk to connect with the river boat from the staithe at the river bridge to the railway - a crackin' afternoon and the weathers looking promising too!

No invitation to today's big event then?

No stressed out, modern lifestyle here either, except I do have a significant other, and 5 dependants, all similarly unplanned!

As a fairly new London resident, I've found that while I would like to take DG's freeform approach, lots of the things I want to do won't happen unless I book tickets when I hear about them.
Conversely, there is something recklessly optimistic about scheduling something many months ahead, and I've already created clashes by pre-booking that I would have preferred to avoid.

I am quite the opposite! It's not uncommon for me to have every evening of the week booked for something, and as for Saturdays ... Perhaps you should plan a little more, DG, but don't do it to excess.

I'm shure whatever you have unplanned for today will be told to us tomorrow :-)

If I don't plan the things I want to do in advance, something always crops up to stop me doing them. But although I have appointments in my diary for the rest of the year, I feel that I'm freer than someone who has a full-time job - if you put that in your diary you'd be fully committed all day, every weekday.

So that's how you find time to write this blog !

>>"I don't have any tickets booked to any gigs..."
There was a time (and I'm going back about a decade ago) when you would quite regularly attend gigs. Everything from Arab Strap and Spiritualized to The Streets and Kylie Minogue. So I guess either (a) you go to fewer gigs these days, (b) you go to at least as many, but just don't mention them, or (c) you have written about gigs you've attended during one of those periods where I happen to take a break from reading your blog.
But searching your blog does suggest that gig-related posts are less common than they used to be.

DG- "My future is unwritten". ALL of our futures are unwritten...even if we've filled in every minute, 24/7, for the next year in our diary. Just live and enjoy now.

Sarah - I sympathise with you. I regularly organise London walks with a group of friends and try to be as precise as possible about date, time and location(s - there's usually a choice to allow for differing preferences), yet few take the trouble to respond to the specifics I request so I can plan properly. Never mind - they usually happen on the day and are fun too! Spontaneity is good sometimes.

Time for a new jam jar filled with a schedule of places to blog about?

For Cornish Cockney and other regular readers who do have a significant other and various dependents/offspring, how about a very relaxing week away in deepest Cornwall.
I can thoroughly recommend Cider Cottage in Liskeard for a restful week's break and plenty of subject matter for Geezers to blog about. See cidercottage.com
