What significant things have I done today?

[Aggie]

Drove 1010 km today, and 455 yesterday, which means my butt is significantly numb.  All for about 1/2 hour of on-site time.

[Sibling DavidH]

Good grief! 

[Opsa]

So you've significantly numbed your buns? 

[Aggie]

Too bad it's not closer to Easter, as they were certainly hot and cross after that long in the driver's seat.

Just spent a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours catching up with an ex from Uni. While it was great to find out what she's been doing, and getting all the gossip on mutual friends I haven't heard of for years, it has made me realise what an absolute bastard I was to her, and that while I have very few regrets about my life, how I treated her is the top of that list. I was young, arrogant and drunk a lot of the time. I am surprised she put up with me for as long as she did, and extremely grateful that she is still willing to talk to me, let alone be as friendly as she is.

And, yes, I'm more than a little bit drunk, but that doesn't make my feelings any less genuine. I think it was a bit of a surprise how well we seemed to get on, it certainly was to me, at least. And she is happy enough to meet me the next time I'm back in Aberdeen, so I might not be beyond redemption after all. We seem to have a lot of interests in common. I just wish I'd realised what I was fucking up when we were together. Hindsight is a bitch, and karma will always bite you in the ass. Lesson learned, and tomorrow, when i'm hungover and feeling sorry for myself, lesson to be digested.


On a less self-pitying mode, I'm off to Gibraltar in a week. Sun, sailing and sangria. Hallelujah!

[Aggie]

Significant? PWUI, like Patchy.

Did ya tell her you know you were a bastard?  Might be a good thing, if it ain't too painful...
_{but my digestion is not that good when hung over}

[Pachyderm]

PWUI? wassat mean? Not down with the jargon, me.


Yes, I made a full and frank confession. Wasn't particularly pleasant to do, but long overdue. I hurt her badly. (Not physically, I hasten to add. I wasn't that much of a bastard..) And now she's had a chance to rip me a well-deserved new one. Which, I have to confess, she has a certain talent for. Never piss off someone whose hobby is story-telling and singing at festivals. They tend to have a very good vocabulary, and impressive vocal range.

[Aggie]

Like a DUI, for posting (the 'w' is for 'while' ). 

[Pachyderm]

Ahh, I see. Yes, guilty of PWUI then.


Went to a Christy Moore concert last night. It was awesome. today went to watch a Gaelic football match with my housemate, who knows how to play it. Much better when you understand what the hell's going on....

[Griffin NoName]

The most significant thing I did today was to have a grandchild.    (Do I win?)

The most significant thing I did today was to have a grandchild.    (Do I win?)

Yes m'am!

[Opsa]

You win hands down, Gram!

[Griffin NoName]

Ok I got another winner.

Yes, you can all laugh heartily.

<< I fell out of bed. >>

I was in this really deep sleep dreaming about being in a swimming pool where the only way out was to leap for a bar just across from where I was swimming. So I leapt.

I have flesh scraped off one side of my face and bruising, and a cut across my nose, bleeding inside and out.

Given I have a bad head cold and keep needing to blow the nose, I am in a sorry state.

Yet another reason to ask for an essay extension, but will they believe it?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Sorry to hear that Griff, has anyone looked at you yet?
