Weekend...
I was in London this weekend and got back late-ish last night. Despite the late arrival home and the travel, I couldn’t get to sleep once I was unpacked and in bed. I think it may have been related to the clocks having gone forward, but even so I’m normally really worn out after the journey so it’s a bit odd that I wasn’t this time.
Didn’t get up to much this weekend. On the Friday night I went to the pub near Euston station to have a quick drink with Thesp, who introduced me and P to her friend
zmiya_sanand her husband. (I recall being introduced to other people too, but I plead tiredness for my inability to remember names). It was a brief meeting though, what with lack of monies (me and
the_greek_geek), tiredness (me), hunger (everyone) and desire to watch Torchwood (
zmiya_san).
Me and P spent the weekend pottering around his house and playing with the computer or watching TV. We made the usual trek to Tesco to get the few bits we needed for making a roast dinner on the Sunday, but other than that we stayed in. (Partly influenced by the poor weather over the majority of the weekend). We’re not seeing each other next weekend, so leaving was a bit harder last night. Two weeks apart seems like forever when you are at this end of it. I miss him so much.
This morning I have commenced my plan to change one thing that will hopefully change other things! Makes no sense? Well, I have decided to stop taking the car to the train station when I’m travelling to work and walk it instead. It’s about three quarters of a mile, so only a 10-20 min walk depending on how energetic I’m feeling. This should, in theory, reduce my petrol expenditure, be good for my health, be good for the environment and make me less hassled in the morning through not having to rush to get out and obtain one of the limited parking spaces at the station. I’d been putting off starting this for a while with the excuse of the weather not being good enough or it being too dark in the evenings still. However, I took the clocks going forward as a prompt to stop making excuses and now I’ve started I just have to make sure I stick it out!
