Messed up this post and accidentally deleted it. Mentioned going gliding though, hence the comments.

Wicked Weekend

I have a friend who's girlfriend of 11 years recently split up with him. He's understandably devestated. They share a house, but this weekend was the first that she wouldn't be there (went away with friends) so I went over to stay with him - to keep him company and make sure he had some fun, hehe.

It was awesome. He has a super zooomy yellow Suzuki motorbike which we went out on a few times. On Saturday we went into Gloucester, looked in the Cathedral, had food in a very atmospheric pub/café, ate lots of fudge, and found a shop called 'Del's Delights' which was amusing! Then in the afternoon we went into Tewkesbury and watched the re-enactment of the Battle of Tewkesbury in the boiling mid-afternoon sun. Loads of the people in full armour fainted - and understandably so, heh. Was fun though!

He drove me all the way back to Huntingdon on Sunday afternoon - some 150 miles cruising at 100mph down the motorway ;) Very VERY fun!! But then I had to take my mountain bike back from Iain's in the evening - cycled 3 miles into Huntingdon with my full rucksack on my back, got the train at 10pm, changed at Hitchin, got the train at 10:46 to Cambridge, got into Cambs around 11:30, cycled home to reach there at about 12:15. After eating a little and talking on the 'phone, didn't go to bed 'till around 1am - was kersaughsted! Burned my ankle on the exhaust pipe of the bike, too :/ Not good.

Anyway, am in work so better start doing some! Got a couple of pics of the weekend - if I remember, I'll put those here, as well as those I mentioned in the last entry >.<

Ah, Life...

Had an incredibly enjoyable weekend with the friend who visited (pics to follow). Will be going to visit him soon - most likely weekend after next. Yay ^.^

Life has taken some strange turns of late, the most prominent of which has left me in a position where I can start dating again. Which is exciting and fun - even though I'd rather not be in that position. But make the most of it, right? ;o) So I have a date sometime next week. A guy who travels to work on the same bus as me in the mornings when I don't get a lift. He's coming over and I'm cooking him something. Not quite sure how that'll go...

Also just contacted a friend I have in London who I haven't spoken with for a while. I've never actually met him - but I figure now that I'm much closer to London than I was, I should pay him a visit (or vice versa). I contacted him to check he was okay after all the kersplosions going on there >.<
Right??
