Sunny Autumn days

It was a beautiful sunny day today - unseasonably warm.

I took my cyclamen outside to get some sun, and watered the lavender and my orchid, drank a coffee and ate my toast in the sun, then I headed out to the pub with Laura.

Had a lovely time, and ended up chatting to some guys we were sharing a table with - one of them overheard me saying something about my home town, and when I came back asked me a couple of questions about it - turns out he knows a whole bunch of kids I went to school with 10,000 miles away! Impressive. I love when that stuff happens.

Laura and I had dinner at Stringray afterwards and I am so full of pizza I actually feel quite ill. Eep!

More running for me through the week, me thinks!

About that summer I mentioned...

I just read my last post. Yep, it's gotten warmer, and I've been distracted by galleries and exhibit openings, friends visiting, meeting new friends, saying goodbye to old friends, and generally making good use of the warm weather! My mother still tells me it's cold when it's 21 degrees though. :)

A new friend of mine just shared his blog with me; reading the noted thoughts of someone who you have just met (and gotten to know only a little) can be quite interesting. At the same time as the internet provides an anonymity, it also reveals more due to the imagined anonymity. I feel quietened and thoughtful after reading these thoughts he's decided to share.

On another note, I've just spent a disgusting length of time listening to daggy and embarrassing pop music. Yes, I was singing along with it. I'm calling it karaoke prep. My housemates called it musical shame. :)

Hello!

I've had a grand ambition for years now to write an inspirational/influential/vaguely amusing blog. Thus far I've not succeeded, mostly due to my own waning interest in the project due to such distractions as sunlight, friends, the beach, and launches and exhibit openings.

However, after having recently relocated to halfway around the world to a place where I am lacking most of the above things, I have a little more spare time. I can't profess to always utilising it entirely well, but fingers crossed this little intro turns out to be more than just that!!

Come summer though, and you'll find me out in the park doubling on someone's bicycle and playing badminton, I'm sure. :)
