2 May 2008 (Friday) 

I'm pretty happy at the moment. I only realised this morning that I've not listened to Riverside in a few months, and the usual stalwarts from last year aren't at all as prevalent. On the other hand, Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we ?, by The Cranberries is being listened to a lot.

27 May 2008 (Tuesday) 

So, I've not written anything in a while. Partly because I've just not felt a whole lot of inclination to do so. Mainly because I've just not felt I had the time or energy. But... Stuff's been happening.

I had a week being a bit ill, where I got to stay with Caroline which was interesting. Being ill was no fun. I don't like it and I'm determined to not be ill every again. I think I said that last time, but I guess I wasn't listening. Being with her all week was nice, and a little strange. It's been a while since I've spent more than a night as a guest with someone. Excepting Claire and Justin, but then they're family really .

Anyhow, I got back from that and things have just been a bit odd since then. I guess that's partly because after spending most weekends with her, it's been a little strange having them to myself. It's relaxing in some respects because I can catch up on doing the random things that I haven't been doing - like for instance I wrote a lovely coding standard checker last weekend. Um... I realise that that's probably not a great way to spend your weekend, but I find that doing that kind of thing is fun. The only down side is that it's still 'work', so I go back to work on Monday and I'm annoyed because I've not really had a break.

I guess I miss being able to do a few weeks of solid work and then take a few days just doing nothing at all of any importance. That's what I get, I suppose, for having a Real Job.

But the weekends otherwise are pretty good; I still have generally no idea what to do with myself, but I'm still relatively content.

On the other hand, this last couple of days I've felt out of sorts. I think it's partly because I've not been sleeping well, and partly because I'm missing Caroline. The not sleeping well and missing her sort of go hand in hand though.

I've got Caroline and Jess down this weekend, and we're going - with Simon - to Legoland. I'm trying to find a way to say this that doesn't sound like I'm 11, but I'm really looking forward to them coming down. It's great fun when they're here and Jess really seems to like Simon. Current weather for Saturday is looking like 'White cloud plus Sunshine', which isn't too bad. At least it's not 'Black Cloud plus Lightning Bolts'.

There's so many other things I'd want to say about Caroline, but I'm just too tired to get anything coherent. Of course, I might not be coherent if I wasn't tired.

I'm also backing up my music on to my portable drive this evening, too. When I got in to bed it was on the middle of 'M', so it's still going to be a little while. I might as well just go to sleep.
