It has been, as you might imagine, an eventful few days.<\/p>\n
I’ll try and summarise, without going in to too much detail.<\/p>\n
On Friday evening I met up with a few good friends in that London.<\/p>\n
We had excellent and plentiful food and *cough* alcohol and, possibly as a direct result of the alcohol, there was a degree of talkage.<\/p>\n
I spent the night in a hotel in Paddington and when I say ‘spent the night’ I mean ‘got two hours sleep.<\/p>\n
On Saturday evening we went to see Frisky and Mannish at the Oxford Playhouse.<\/p>\n
They were excellently funny.<\/p>\n
Yay!<\/p>\n
I got a parking ticket.<\/p>\n
Boo!<\/p>\n
Today I did a little washing, a little ironing, a significant amount of people-seeing and socialising.<\/p>\n
I got asked to consider taking a person from my equestrian circle as a lodger; an attractive and dangerous idea which I declined forcefully.<\/p>\n
Then I spent three lifetimes fruitlessly shopping for a piece of bedroom furniture.<\/p>\n
And I’ve downloaded the guitar chords for three Missy Higgins tracks (‘Angela’, for which I have subtly altered the lyrics, ‘Special Two’, which I’m going to keep intact, and ‘Where I Stood’ which I’ll also keep intact).<\/p>\n
Additionally, I have slightly edited one of the pages on this website (not telling you which one, you’ll have to guess!).<\/p>\n
And spent some time reading the ‘Rules’ page.<\/p>\n
That was a shocker, reading the rules, because it made me realise that I have been overly harsh and not considered the feelings of others – as my rules plainly say I would.<\/p>\n
At the time I was angry and bitter and I let my anger and bitterness get slightly out of control.<\/p>\n
I didn’t let them get out of control to the point where I was going to wreak physical punishment on anyone, even though that thought did (briefly) occur at 3am.<\/p>\n
But I did let things get out of control, to the point where I publicly vented in a calculated, hurtful manner.<\/p>\n
And that disappoints me; I fell off my own standards bandwagon.<\/p>\n
I will try hard not to let that happen again.<\/p>\n
Oh yes, and my friend Dave bought three months’ Match.com access in my name. He won’t be my friend Dave for much longer.<\/p>\n
And that’s the last few days through my eyes – or as much as you’re going to get, bearing in mind the guidelines in the Rules page.<\/p>\n
