Thursday night - date night

Tonight I had a date with a lovely gal pal. She is so much fun and always has her shit together.
Lunch involved catchups with my awesome buddy who is out from the uk for a wedding. She is such a busy lady that I had to be allocated a time slot ;) hehe. K, you're a funny lady.

Last night was dinner with s&p. Always greathang0uts. Highlight was P licking her wine glass mid story.

Tuesday night was meeting with the gals for malaysian. It involved telling 'the story' again. and explaining 'what now'. and missed phone calls from concerned pals who had only just heard. Sad times. The big girl puppy came over for sleep overs and walks.

Monday night was turkish with the cutest kids going around and catch ups with their awesome parents.

So basically - this week has been an eat-fest, talk-fest, and socialise-fest.

Sometimes I wish it could be a sleep-fest - Accompanied by lots of cuddles.

Monday musings...

Virginia Woolf '...I hope you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream'.

Parting is such sweet sorrow

My pal is the greatest!

Her: Better start to the day this morning?

See below, your new home....

January - Last days...

Moving out...
The puppy and The Boy's glassworks bird
After sleeping in the car with rain on the roof and being woken up by midnight fishermen
Choc mint icecream before the rain set in

Spontaneous trips to the coast and camping in the car in the rain.

That's what best buds are for

Extract from email exchange this morning which made me think I'm so lucky to have amazing pals.

Her: How you?

Me: I walked to work.
Ran in to a friend from uni randomly.
She asked about The Boy.
I cried.
Feel like shit.
Got to work.
Shit colleagues having a whinge.
Trying to figure out if anyone wants to come to Cambodia with me in April.
Trying desperately not to call The Boy.
Trying to plan my life without The Boy.
Getting sad again.

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

Her: It is ok. It is exciting. You are a free agent and can do ANYTHING that YOU want. LOVE IT. You don’t have to worry about other people! A new door has just opened and in the next room is an awesome place, unknown but awesome. It will take some time to not want to call him....and not think about planning stuff together, but it will come. I love you and know that once the dust has settles, you will create an amazing life for yourself. I am dreaming that you marry some French billionaire, settle in Monaco and end up as a freelance photographer..... Thoughts?

Me: My thoughts are that you.are.awesome! x

Her: No, I think you missed the message....YOU ARE AWESOME.

Now is the time - Jefferson Airplane

Desire, the feeling so clear
It sings in everything you hear
Desire, the feeling you never lose
It's always something new
And it's waiting for you to follow through

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, the time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

Desire follows and leads the way
Like night follows day
Desire, it's right before your eyes
No questions no surprise
It's been waiting so long for you to decide

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

All the fantasies we keep inside
We'd love to live it but we don't know how
Too late for yesterday, too early for tomorrow
That means it's gotta be now

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

This is the song, now is the time
Alone the love is gone, together it's yours and mine
This is the night, this is the song
Feel the love again it's where we belong
