Hmmmm
Dearie me, I'm not being very good at updating myself these days, am I? And then I return with flurried promises of long posts which trail out into nothing, because there's nothing I've got to say (or want to!)....well, this post promises nothing, and it'll be as long as it is.
Spent the long weekend in Brighton with P, spending a lot of saturday having scary thoughts that I dont love him anymore, and spending the rest of the weekend falling back into it again. Met a good part of his family, and the words 'chalk' and 'cheese' spring to mind as regards our backgrounds. Good for me, I suppose, but it made me funnily sad - a sense of lost opportunity on the part of P. Of course, this is not a good way to behave, or a good thing to say, and I did descend into a funny mood that P immediately sensed, bless him. I really dont know what to say without sounding a) bigoted b) harsh c) insincere and d) not what I really mean. Difficult. Stil, he'll get the delights of meeting my nearest genomical relatives soon. Though I got a message from Dad yesterday saying he was away till today. Nice. Wonder where he's been........
Feeling slightly less poor than before at the moment, but I'm sure I'll soon have spent most of the spare I have; may aim still being to pay off some overdraft before they start to charge me interest, full on! Note to self: debit account to break-even come September.
Picked up my bike again on Wednesday, and immediately fell back into the swing of it. Really felt like taking the afternoon off for a scoot, though it would have been rude! And had to get used to brakes again, which seemed unresponsive - but they are better now than before, 'specially since the drive is recoupled properly. Mission for the weekend - acquire cheap socket set for self-adjustment of chain, so much better when taut! Though I think I'll be nervy about doing it myself first time round.....anyhow, have had a couple of marvellous rides around up Airedale already yesterday evening and today, sporting about in my new leathers and feeling so much more the part (though I need to be careful and not get too cocky, I'm still learning slowly....). Also have solved my red lid problem, as the lining was slipping and giving me pressure across my forehead (a fantastic torture device it would make), but with adept putting-on, it's back to the snug fit it always was! Arent I clever? Well, sometimes. Busy planning for a jaunt out to York tomorrow evening and somewhere big for the weekend! Shame I badly need to tidy up around home, but I get the feeling that there's always something like that to do, and I'm only young once; Sunday is supposed to be rainy, I'll sort it all out then.
Planning to go back and see P again in a very short while, though I think it'll be costing me a lot more this time since there's less advance booking. Bit of an arse, but there's not much I can do about that!
Time to wash pots and prepare for work tomorrow.....
