The weekend

:)

Friday night I visted [livejournal.com profile] ebq, who was worried about [livejournal.com profile] elethiomel, but all was well by the time I arrived, and the planning of a 5 course feast for a dozen people ensued. The we wateched Ring, which was a good story, but not frightening. Am I really so desensitised by the rampant comercialisation of such human sensations? Or am I just missing something? Both probably.
Sleep was good.

Saturay was BUSY. BUSY. I met many lovely people who's LJ names I don't yet know, so I shall point you to [livejournal.com profile] ebq and [livejournal.com profile] elethiomel who probably do.

So, there were heavy bags, and a train to catch and breakfast baguettes en route. Arriving in Didcot. Where? Exactly. The Uffington horse is in the area, and it is truely beautiful. Countryside it's called. Ooer! Very Jane Austen, I was pleased. Country houses are lovely. This one had Livestock (animals not in shrink wrap! ooer!). There was even a goat called ChloƩ.

Shopping, a little later than scheduled, but all was found.

Then the cooking comsensed. Whilst [livejournal.com profile] ebq made The Worlds Greatest Apple Crumble (tm) I made myself into her WenchBitch (tm pending).

[livejournal.com profile] ebq almsot lost part of her left index finger, much to the mortification of herself, [livejournal.com profile] elethiomel and myself. A gallant hero firstaider was on hand to assist, and all was well after TLC, cold water, elevation, a sit down and a cup of tea.

Luckily such was the planning, time was not lost. [livejournal.com profile] ebq actually seemed very rightly placed in her chair of honour commanding the proceedings.

The dinner went well, fantastic, amazing (insert adjectives of an applauding nature here). Everyone was pleased and complementary. There was a toast. I do hope [livejournal.com profile] ebq knows just how amazing it was, and I feel myself to be very lucky at having witnessed everything from so close. Thank you!

Footrubs by an open fire in a country house. La!

Tired. Oh so tired. Collapse.

Sunday was a slow day. Most of it is a strange series of sitting, being fed pig, sitting, travelling, sitting, travelling, carrying bags, sitting again, bandages, sitting, and going for a curry (yum). Then at sometime around 11 I got into bed, from whence I did not stir until 10am this morning, and I am still feeling rather tired. Happily so, but tired. Achey. Good though. It was a Good Weekend.

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ebq for for being such a good, kindly, understanding mistress, and [livejournal.com profile] elethiomel for being :)

Not it is Monday, and I am very cold. I think I'll make more tea.

Sorry I didn't see [livejournal.com profile] lisy_babe or [livejournal.com profile] barty this weekend. You were missed, and thought of.

Now I have to do something like work.

After the second cup of tea...

I have been listening to Tori Amos Little Earthquakes, and especially Me and a gun, probably too much. It makes me feel a little sad. And memories come. I realise things. Wiggles, little wiggles. My head aches. I think this can go some way to explain why I have been feeling so huggy this weekend. A bit elsewhere sometimes. Sorry. Once I have the poem written I'll be better.

I recieved the list of competitions from the Poetry Library over the weekend, so there is a new purpose to my art ;)

Loving you

Kim X

You can laugh
It's kinda funny
Things you think
Times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbados
So I must get out of this

I love the Little Earthquakes album, but that song makes me sad too. Kind of glad in a way that i was the victim of a steanger rape rather than someone i knew, at least i never have to see him again.

Love and stuff xx

Love and stuff two-ways.
Yes. Stuff.
How do we seem to know these things about each other? Not knowingly, but inside somewhere.
I knew well, oh god.
The first I knew. He died.
The others I knew less, or not at all.
I don't have ot see them.
I saw one once.

Love hugs stuff Kx

I think there's a look or something. Not so much 'victim' as 'i lived, you did the worst you could and i'm still here'

Hmm, I know what you mean. There's something behind those casual glances, the humour, we just know where it comes from.
Yes.
*I've lived there* sort of thing.

*Loving you*
