Okay so it’s like a hundred years after the fact but...
I’ve just discovered Andrea Parker and she’s brilliant!!!! So I’m mostly listening to her while actually getting some constructive work done!
The sun is kind of thinking of coming out it’s been bloody ages… summer just doesn’t want to arrive here this year…
Dan and I have both agreed that this year has been one of the worst by far in ages… just when you think nothing else can go wrong… something new pops up… I can’t write about it online but man oh man… someone we know has been very very naughty… not me or Dan of course… cause we’re little angels…
I can’t believe it’s almost the weekend yet again… time is just evaporating these days… too bad my waistline isn’t!

Crime stopper
Last night the ever resourceful miss Andrea took a bite out of crime. While leaving the office at 9pm she noticed a man with a van pull up next to a bike rack. He was merrily cutting his way through someone’s D Lock with some metal cutting instrument that was powered via his cigarette lighter. She rang the local police not on 999 of course but the local station and handed them the description of the culprit as well as his number plate!” Yea Andrea!
Now, there are three things about this event that shock me… one, being that it was in Chelsea not the ghetto of Dalston… two, is that not a single person beyond her seemed to pay any notice to the crime being committed… and three, that oh my god this is like so what happened to my bike when it got nicked!
My evening was much less eventful. I didn’t arrive home from work until 8 at which point I dragged my raggedy arse to the gym… much to my surprise it was still heaving with people! Had a good workout then trekked home for some very late night dining.
Today I am mostly wearing my new jeans purchased this weekend at Selfridges… summer sale was good to me… Only two more weekends till I get to see seestor! Then there will be even more shopping!
Life isn’t all doom and gloom in London… not like the uplifting cheerful postings that I’ve been writing as of late would have led you to believe anything to the contrary…. No no… that would simply not be true.

So yea
I’m getting there…
God It really does take a while to heal after something falls apart… I know it wasn’t much to begin with but still when you’re working with a concept you can’t help but make it feel perfect as there are no confines… so yea it’s a total dream world… as I try and move on and keep busy and not dwell on it too much I surprise myself just how much of an effort this has been. I think I’ve figured out why… I think I was looking for an escape from London… a good branch to help me make the leap to Spain that I’ve been wanting to do for a while… a relief from the grind of big city living… so I guess it’s not so much him that I’m grieving over… more so the lost of this quick bridge over to one of my life goals… ever a fantasy it was that I would achieve this change via a relationship. In the end I know it’s a good thing, as it’s very unlike me to try and lean on someone else to achieve something… guess this just proved that the minute I try and lean… I fall right out of the branch. I’m better off doing it on my own… less regrets, and more certainty.
Still, I find it kind of sad that I was fooled by what I thought was love… how wrong I was… so yea… maybe it’s that, that’s making it so rotten.
Jo says it karma
And as I’ve written before… karma is sweet… except for when it’s the bitter pill you’ve got to swallow.
