I got food in my belly and a licence for my telly and nothing's gonna bring me down ...
Well, the Samaritans sent me a letter, saying someone's going to get in touch soon. The initial training course is eight 3-hour sessions, which is worryingly long and reassuringly thorough. I think I'm going to give it a go, cos it'll be a really interesting experience ... and might even help me learn to listen more, rather than jumping into solution mode too quickly (which is a criticism I've received on occasion!).
Had a pretty uneventful weekend. My 250GB external drive crashed on me about a year or so ago, converting much of my photo, music & video collection into filexxxx.chk files ... and so I'm using my 1TB drive to help clean everything up. I spent most of last night transferring files from one drive to another, and while it was pretty quick (ie: only a few hours), it's a bit like a defrag programme - you just have to watch it!! So at 4am last night, I finally figured I'd done enough & could go to bed!!
Watched American Gangster on Saturday, which was good, but overly long (my mistake for selecting the "extended version").
The only other thing of note was my son's 1st & 2nd driving lessons. It's early days, but he's really struggling with concentrating on more than one thing at a time. At one point, we were driving along the road about 50mph, and he turned to talk to me, and the car drifted across towards the kerb!! it's a good job I'm fairly laid-back, although I have my moments ... and that was one of them!!
I'm doing the usual, "contact my ex GF & wait hours for the reply" routine ... which I know is destructive & unhelpful, but I can't help it ...
I have a couple of films on DVD to watch - "Agora" and "How to tame dragons" - which both look really good ... but I also need to do some ironing, & don't think i can do both, cos the films are in PC-format ... Think it might be another late one!!
Having said that, I did kick-boxing for an hour at 5.30, and then 5-a-side for another hour at 8.00, so will probably flake out soon!
