This weekend…

I will mostly be resting… getting my bike serviced and going to see the RHCP! I’m really hoping that the Pixies are indeed opening for them as I heard way back when… even if they don’t will still be good. If you know me, you know I have an unnatural admiration for Anthony Keidis… I’m just hoping that it doesn’t rain… after a week of lovely 30 degree sunshine we’re due to have an overcast Sunday with a high of only 16 degrees!

This whole long distance romance thing is quite a challenge… Obviously I’ve gained a lot more perspective on the situation in the past few weeks… I’m staying cautiously optimistic… plus I’m guessing it’s a pretty good idea for me to have some time to myself… I’ve been known to date people too soon after breakups, so this is good… 40 days however is a long long time to not see someone… but such is life when work and distance prevail. Next week will bring change one way or another… I simply have to force myself to draw a line in the sand… because it’s a fine line between drawing one and burying one’s head in it.

It’s been yonks!

But I’ve realized a few things… one, being that the work load here will never ease up… and two, that I’m really really stressed…

However there is a plus side to this… We were just told today that on top of moving to a new office in October, we are getting 2 days extra holiday every year. Now that’s not something that happens every day!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been making amends with miss Woo and smoothing things back over after the bumpy time of our breakup. It’s nice to think that we may just manage to keep our friendship. Early days yet and a lot of hurdles to pass still but If I can only manage to hold my tongue quite literally in many ways… then it may just work. Hard to be around someone that you still really fancy… but you know that you just don’t fancy enough. Sigh… I’m really hope that we can be friends in the long run as she’s so bloody cool! We’ve even discussed still doing that trip to NYC together that was put on hold a few months back…. I would have never thought!

The weather here has finally cooled off a bit but it was really lovely to have some proper summer weather here… 30 degrees is fab… even if we don’t have air con in this office.

Off home now before the footie ends and the roads are swamped with football supporters.

My god can you believe that I’m leaving the office at 18h!??!?!?!? stranger things have happened!

A snapshot of things I learned this weekend…

- that you can seriously damage your feet if you try and wear 3 inch stiletto sandals for over 6 hours… I still have no feeling in my toes on my left foot… this can not be good!
- That if you wear the cranberry body lotion from the body shop (the one with the sparkles) that even a day later after you’ve washed it off, it doesn’t wash off! However on an up note… it did however prove as a very unexpected sunscreen. Everyone I was out with got pink in the 30degree sunshine of Sunday… whereas I was not in the least affected… how strange… if ever you are without sunscreen… go for the glitter baby!
- That working at this new job is driving me absolutely insane… I’m about an inch away from throwing it all in and finding work in a shop in Spain and just chilling out and learning the language for the next 6 months…. There is very very little that is stopping me…
