May your life be interesting...
I haven't updated much recently because life has been too interesting. Interesting in the ancient curse way. I can't write about what has happened yet - I may never be able to; partly because it's not really my story to write and partly because it's still too painful to write about.
Life appears to be settling back to normal... if a little too slowly for my preferences. All the main characters are well; physically if not mentally.
Things were certainly better last Friday. S and I had a Pirates of the Caribbean day. We watched the first two films on DVD then went to the cinema to see the third. It's good - funny, witty, and very very piratey (in a Disney sense of course!)
Saturday the washing machine broke.... well - I noticed it was broke - I suspect it's been slowly breaking for a while now. I will try and get Dad on the job this week or I'll have to wear my underwear inside out for a while... okay - I won't because that is quite disgusting. The washing machine joins the upstairs toilet in the "need to fix" pile - I'm waiting for the 3rd thing.
Sunday I spent most of the day at the 'rents. Sunday lunch was fantastic as usual. Having run out of Battle Star Galactica episodes to watch Dad and I watched a couple of films. He suggested Pirates of the Caribbean - but we ended up with Ocean's 11 and Snatch. There's only so much Piratey goodness you can watch in a weekend!
The weather was particularly bad this weekend, so plans to commune with nature on the holiday Monday were thwarted. Instead S and I stayed in and watched TV. The joys of TV on demand!
In more personal news - I noticed my first grey pubic hairs this morning in the shower. This has been somewhat inevitable - I think I spotted my first grey hair (on my head!) when I was about 12. They appeared in my beard during my twenties. This marks my final step into oldness.
