It's been a little while since I blogged again. I've been neglecting all(?) my loyal and valued readers.
*Warning* This post may be a little sarky as I'm in one of those moods. Oh dear!
It's been one of those days, weeks and months.
I went away with my mum at easter which was nice. We went to the Peaks and it made such a change as I visited when I was a student in One Of The Many nearby Cities. I have also worked in the area - albeit for a weekend. We went down some of the caves and I even managed a gentle hike of about 6 miles. Not bad going really! We had a good time and the B and B was really nice. Mum whinged that she'd put on more weight and I expect I did too but I don't have the addiction to the scales that she does.
Things seem to have been okay generally. I've actually written to the landlord now. In fact I wrote mid last week but I still seem to be failing to post the letter. I'll do it when I get home - later in the week. There have been additional reasons to make me do it sooner rather than later - ground rent bills, broken window (again) and mould. Lovely eh? I wouldn't recommend living with me - I try not do it frequently.
Last week I went to London for the Wake Up to Trade Justice vigil. I lost my protesting virginity and even managed to steward at the same time. It was a good night and I managed to see Tall Girl and Mr Tall Girl, Alice, Dave, Excited Rainbow Girl and her sister. I didn't think that to be too bad going. The problem was that I saw most of the people I knew as I was trying to leave. Doh. It has to be said that there are distinct advantages to being a worker at these events. It mean't I didn't have to queue to get into Methodist Central Hall.
I'm guessing a number of us got very tired though. I was chatting to P while he was at his stand - it must have been 5 in the morning. When I was talking to him later in the week he wanted to know if we'd managed to see each other during the vigil as he couldn't remember. Oops. I did have to go and have a long nap after the vigil before I could face travelling home though.
So, all that was in London. I'm guessing that makes it the otherest city. It's definitely not any of the Other Cities.
It all seems quite strange though, I'm back in London as I type. Staying with the same friend as last week but for entirely different reasons. I've even managed to meet up with some of the same people though. How bizarre, or alternatively how small are these circles I lurk in!
Anyway, this doesn't seem too bad a post bearing in mind (erm...?) the mood I'm in. I hope you are all well and I'll endeavour to post more frequently.
P.S. The problem has been fixed, Chorister. Thanks.
