Today
It’s oh so very exciting! Our new house will be mostly being cleaned by our wonderful new cleaning lady… now before this comes across as really elitist I must plead my case…
She’s come highly recommended… She’s Caribbean and just the most full of love for life person I’ve met in a very long time! She bounded into the flat on Satuday afternoon and there was just no doubting the fact that she Loved her job and was going to be brilliant at doing it… I mean this woman pointed out dust in places I didn’t even know existed!!! The house is a Georgian town house and is a bit tired… so it does need all the help it can get to make it liveable… But I think beyond her personality and enthusiasm, I’m quite impressed with her entrepreneurial spirit… she employs a team of people whom if need be, she enlists them to do the work she doesn’t like (namely ironing)… The best bit of this is that she will sort out anything for you that you like, weather it’s a plumber or someone to de-weed your garden… she’s even offered to unpack Dan’s room for her (mind you it’s not so necessary anymore as Dan made some impressive unpacking progress yesterday)… If you put this together with a cost of 30£ for a clean house top to bottom… you just can’t go wrong!
It was a gorgeous weekend here full of lots of sun and relaxing… did manage to see miss woo for the first time in two months since we split up… wasn’t the smoothest of meetings but it could have been a lot worse. Time will heal… clearly I think we both need a little more time… Beyond that, I mostly did some work in the Garden (office work not actual garden work) which resulted in a bit of a sun burn… then I cycled off to read the paper in Regent’s park… then gymmed it… then stayed up till 1am trying to organize my ever growing list of project for work… Not a good idea to spend more than 7h on your weekend doing office work… bad bad!!!!!
Plans are in the works to see A this weekend… depends on a lot of variables as per usual… but it would be great to hook up… it will have been 3 weeks since we were last together... but we’re both being really optimistic about things… It’s a continual challenge for me as I’m much more of a ‘want and do right away’ person … guess my job and my lifestyle afford that behaviour… He works freelance all over the gaff and is much much more limited in making definite plans… we’re kind of dreaming about laying down some context and foundation and such… but no rush really… as this cautious heart is in no hurry to be broken again … or cause anyone else’s to be… But when we're together it all just seems to work really well... and that's fun and scary and exciting all wrapped up on one...
