I'm feeling outstandingly good. This goes against all sense and sensibility, as I get minimal exercise beyond walking around a lot, and minimal social contact, beyond MSN/Trillian and the comments on this blog. I also have no money. I didn't originally want to include this, but seeing as people will start to suspect an unannounced lottery win if I don't, I thought I'd clear it up.
I suppose it could be a combination of the other two things I should take into consideration...
1) Alice
2) I am spending almost every waking hour (apart from eating, drinking, sleeping and applying for 'proper' jobs) doing something I love.*
I've done something that most of you will probably regard as a little unhinged. Remember the chunky word total I had before?
I've started again.
To get it right, you know...
This time I'm writing as I go along, using the other as a guide, and now I have additional notes, and a couple of tapes from the other day...you don't want to know this. Sorry. Anyway, I'm enjoying it immensely, which is the important thing, I suppose.
The weekend just gone was a wonderful couple of days. I stayed with Alice in Winchester, and we chilled out in a variety of drinking establishments on Friday night, went round Winch the next day, then had a meal in a great Chinese restaurant on Saturday night.
Now, I can get a little testy going out for meals, as I like things to be as near perfect as possible in those kind of conditions. So, as you could imagine, I don't like getting automatically directed to the table sandwiched between the corridor to the toilet and the door to the kitchens...I also feel slightly stupid sat in a restaurant with an empty table.
Don't know why.
Must be one of those things.
Anyway, I was suitably calmed by the arrival of the wine, and when the food arrived all was well.
I had a wonderful time.
Other Things
Listening:
Lemon Jelly: Lost Horizons (arrived in the post this morning, and is most pleasing to the ear)
Reading:
Ernest Hemingway: To Have and Have Not (a chance find in a charity shop in Winchester over the weekend)
Writing:
My arse off, mostly. Have also started having ideas for 'The Sitcom' and may snoop around and bid to take on the production of a certain bestselling author's material for radio. You know. As you do.
*Not Alice - you have dirty minds, the lot of you
