Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel

Weekend

Had a really good weekend just mostly spending time with tokensmile, although we went out two evenings, firstly for food, lots fo alcohol and assorted merriment with her new housemate and assorted chums, as well as denari (and saw tabithabunnie, jon_nyara and killsister).
