on my way so it seems
so, having slight trouble adjusting to the whole 'having-nay-cash' thing. Having to get my kicks from the finer things in life.
Yesterday, it was Saturday. I was not at work.I was not in Paris or anyothe unpaid holiday, i was at home. A Saturday off. It was weird.
So, the sun was shining and the midgies were at large, so i thought 'hey, im gona take the dog for a wee walk'. So i went to the park by my lonesome and ended up being out for an hour walking all round linn park and then through the grave yard etc. like i used to do with anna every now and then. Except this time i didnt smoke or eat chocolate or get locked in the graveyard.
Came home to an empty house and turned on the tv to discover that Calamity Jane was on ITV3!!! I nearly wazzed myself with excitement. So i watched the first half of it on my makes-you-walk-fast-excercise-machine, then unsuccessfully tried to do sit-ups and ended up getting mauled by my dog who probably thought i was dying or having some kind of fit. So i decided to stop that right then and there and headed out to shawlands via the backstreets so to avoid any nosey local people bombarding me with questions about why cibo is frozen in time with a giant padlock on the door and mail piling up on the front mat. Went to Waverly tearooms with Madeleine, Steven, Heather, Johnny, Samantha, Iain and their baby Finlay. So essentially, apart from the baby, I was a big giant seventh wheel who couldnt afford to buy a round in but they let me away with it because i provied the gossip.
Walked home after peering in the window of cibo and pressing my face up against the glass window releasing one single tear for dramatic effect then turning my head away letting out a heart-broken sigh. Except that didnt actually happen. I just looked in and though "my god they didnt even let them tidy up before they left. everythings still lying out. how gross" etc.
so got home and convinced my sister that it was a postive thing that we were in on a saturday night, then invited kirsty over who brought wine and we spent the night chatting about self-conciousness and the likes. Highlight of the night could possibly have been making popcorn in a pot with a glass lid so i could watch it pop. It was pretty intense.
Anyhoo, had my fifth driving lesson this morning which went fairly well until i nearly ran over an old man.
Then me and lor went with mum and john to go watch some jazz in a bar in town which we discovered hasnt hosted the live jazz band there for several years so we just went to Blackfriars and had some ginn and tonic.
Arrived back on our street to discover that the sewage leek which has been going on for weeks is still at large nd now not only is there a tream of toilet roll and god knows what else, but there is also a used condom floating in the sewage water lining the gutter.
What a lovely sight.
My father has decided that he is having his annual 'spend a night with megan' night tonight so we're going out for dinner after taking the dog for a walk. Apparently.
Should be pleasant.
Then might actually get to see my estranged friend Anna afterwards.
So thusfar, I have saved money on using shanks' pony instead of public transport and on scrounging drinks and food off of other peple.
Working out quite nicely to be honest.
And its my fourweek sof not smoking anniversary today.
Go me!
So aye, Im gona go try find trousers that arent jeans.
