Been quite a while since I posted - am now almost halfway through my hols and have just returned from Norn Irn, hence the relative silence on my part... Unfortunately it was not a happy homecoming as I was over to attend my aunt's funeral; all very sad and emotional but it was a beautiful sunny day and loads of people turned out to celebrate her life. I stayed on for a couple of extra days afterwards, as I was off work anyway, and was able to go to the beach at Cushendun on Wednesday which helped clear me head.
Prior to that it was J's birthday on Sunday, and we celebrated by chilling in the park at Lambeth Country Show - basically an old school country fair bringing donkeys, sheep and falconry to the inner city yoot of Lambeth with added reggae soundtrack. We followed up our park based exploits on Saturday with a house party, at which I had the exciting-sounding but actually humiliating experience of being taken to bed by two women. They tucked my semi-conscious ass in and returned to join the party, leaving me to wake up somewhat the worse for wear on Sunday morning, confused as to where I was. Thankfully J was there and feeling ten times worse due to a 5am finish.
We returned to the Show on Sunday and were able to relax and have a few hairs of the dog in the knowledge that Monday wasn't going to bring the usual 6am start - Sundays are actually bloody good if you don;t have to worry about work the next day. Of course, knowing that everyone else does just adds to the pleasure.
I've managed not to make it outside yet today, despite the fact that it's pushing 26C outside and baking hot sunshine. I'm saving myself for leaving soon to go and collect J from work, finally seeing where she works after 7 months.
Catch up soon!
