I have been very poor with my attention to LJ of late. I have not posted and neither have I read any posts by others for the last few weeks. There are no excuses really, but what of the reason? Well my last 4 months have been a bit of a rollercoaster mainly due to the fact that I met a guy and ‘fell in love ( Read more... )

So another Valentine’s Day has come and gone and try as I might to ignore it, it is slapped in your face so often it is impossible to do so.  This time last year I was but a few days out of “the breakup” and the world was still a bit of a blur.  The year has been almost totally uneventful romantically. There are many reasons for that. Mostly due to ( Read more... )

OK so I have been playing too much Oblivion.  You knew it would happen, I knew it would happen so don't any of you pretend to be surprised here.

I have, however, managed to get to Bean Scene a couple of times to do a spot of writing (only to be disappointed at the lack of curly haired barista action) and tomorrow I am dragging myself into town to ( Read more... )

Ok how often do you meet someone that you find you just click with?

How often do you meet someone who just seems to "get you"?  Or if they don't "get you" then they are just happy to let you be yourself - no stress and no expectation?

If you do find someone like that are they worth clinging to? trying for? waiting for?

... but what if it is not a ( Read more... )

So what of the week this week...

After the weekend I was left in a curious mood. On Monday while heading off to work, I was listening to the radio in the car (RAWK) when this song came on and for the first time I listened to the lyrics and thought... oh man that is about as relevant to my headspace right now as any song is likely to be.  What song?

This week has been quite good so far.

A few stresses have been doing my head in but I have accepted a few home truths and with that comes a sense of calm.  Certainly it helps me with my direction and focus over the next few months. This is a Good Thing (tm).

I met a new person this week. A  interesting Englishman over visiting a friend. Very friendly ( Read more... )

Finally I am back to updating LJ a little bit *and* not only that I have typed this up on my new not-really-mine-but-on-long-term-loan laptop while I am sitting at work!

It is all a bit exciting even if Morris (I have called the laptop Morris) is a few years old. Hey I am not that young anymore myself so it is a good match.  The keyboard is going ( Read more... )

Spring is here and love is in the air. It has been building for a while or so it seems judging by comments on LJ and conversations with people at work.   ( Read more... )

I saw this on the back of a real estate guide and thought I would post it here - for my friend

Funny old week...

Of course the big news (which most of you will by now know) is that Christian broke it off with me last Tuesday when I was down in Nottingham. It has been over 7 years and while we had drifted almost completely apart over the last 18 months ago if I said it did not hurt I would be lying. It is all very amicable and we do still care ( Read more... )
