missed an opportunity
went down to london on tuesday to get my visa sorted out at the us embassy. ha to visit the ccusa (camp america) office first to pick up some documents. i lingered by the door afterwards looking in the a to z to find the quickest way from there to the embassy. this guy came out of the door, saw me and offered to show me the way as this was his second time doing camp america.
anyhoo, we spent 3 hours talking together (most of that time was spent sitting on a hard floor cos the place was so packed) and were almost the last people left there still waiting.
then we went to hyde park for another hour watching the sunset and lads playing footie/rugby while talking some more and eating ice cream.
unfortunately, on the tube back, he got off the stop before me to go to waterloo station, while i headed on to kings cross. because it was on the tube, we didn't have time to exchange any contact details and we didn't think to do so beforehand. so now i've lost him to the abyss. i've tried looking for his name or the camp he's going to on the website, but i can't find anything. feels like a brief but ultimately doomed holiday romance. pure frustration. fate can be evil sometimes.
oh yes and tomorrow i have to break the news to work and give my week's notice - don't know how to say it or even what to say exactly. bricking myself.
but on an upnote, sat outside this evening - it was so still you could hear the birds' wings flapping and the sound of the wind rushing past them when they swooped near to me - beautiful. that blended with the gorgeous view, a good thomas hardy book, the medley of summer sounds and animals, the clock striking 9 and choir harmonies coming from the church moved me so much. heaven really is a place on earth. ah the mysteries and wonders of life.
