At the moment I have in my possession keys to 4 different houses that I have lived in in the last two years. By the end of the week I will have one less.. :)
I knew it had to come some time (time moves on and all that) but back in October the next 9 months seemed never-ending. Finally, I have (almost) moved out of my flat, with all but my computer, tv and a bookcase left. Although I moaned about it lots, this place has also been my home, such as it is, for these last few months. And though I'm not sad to be leaving it, it does look awfully empty now, and a bit lost. I suppose you get used to how a place looks with your things in it, your pictures on the walls, and without them it seems so different. Anyway, on to pastures knew, and the next exciting chapter in the life of this folkie begins.
Since it's now the end of term (for most student types), people are gradually leaving (for the summer, or for good in some cases- sob!) and those of us left are shifting between houses (and within them!), so that right now you never quite know where some people are living, and there are some houses with more people than rooms since some have moved in before others have left!!! One day I will stop moving each year, and stay put, but for the next month or two I shall be living out of suitcases and boxes, and learning to deal with that too!
But, even when you don't have summer holidays as such, in university circles there's always the 'what are you doing in the summer' question, and my mind still works in academic rather than calendar years! So, aside from playing musical houses, I'm looking forward to this years Cropredy (amazing line up this year, and a few friends who'll be there too! Anyone else out there?) and Greenbelt in August, with maybe a visit to the Pontardawe festival also, because two festivals isn't nearly enough!!! I'd love to make it to Cambridge and/or Sidmouth too, but travelling costs and limited time available mean I have to draw the line somewhere...
Oh, and I'm finally biting the bullet and arranging some driving lessons. Haven't actually spoken to anyone yet, but I've made phone calls, and left messages I promise! If I've said it here, maybe it will hold me to it!!! This is something I've been meaning to do for so long, but have always been lacking a sufficient amount of motivation! Well, if I'm going to get the sort of job I want, I'm going to have to do it. I always said back when I was 17 that when I had to do it, I would. Hmm. Still not tempting. I have a feeling this blog may begin to echo Yay's of recent months with driving updates!!
Well, I thought I didn't have much to post, but I think I managed a fair amount of rambling there..
