¡Un poco loco!

What a week it has been!  The rain came tumbling down for most of it but that didn't stop me from spending the last 7 nights out and generally imbibing alcohol in various forms (I mean different types of drinks, although a jelly shot did get involved at one stage).   It has also been a very busy time in work, where for the first time since I have started at the company I can honestly say I am enjoying my time there.  Busy yes, but good-busy, and feeling like I'm part of something.  After 2 years of f*cking around not knowing what I was supposed to be doing with no management or support, it seems I've come to the end of that tunnel.

The holiday is only 5 weeks away now, and I am finally starting to feel some excitement about it.  I don't know why but I have been completely unable to get myself into the holiday mood.  Maybe it's because I'm still unsure of where we will be staying in London or something.  Or maybe I'm just thinking of how much it's costing!   But to hell with that....

Am I a freak? That's the question I have been asking myself this last week.  When everyone else is moaning about the gloomy weather, the "freezing" temperature (hardly) and the constant threat or delivery of rain, I revel in the autumnal glory.   Seeing the yellow, red and brown leaves on the ground brings a sense pf warmth, security and inner glow that is indescribable.  The trees are half bare and people walk around coats and (premature) scarves.   My artistic eye (just the one, dear) comes out to enjoy the scenes from a stereotypical seasonal calendar.  Jason expresses concern that I appear to like decay and death in the nature around me, but I disagree.  It goes back to my childhood, although why I have no idea.  Autumn in Ireland was a hell of a lot colder, wetter and darker than here.

I sit here with my Spanish books in front of me.  My sister-in-law is heavily pregnant with child, and I have been trying to converse with her online in Spanish (she is Catalan from Barcelona).   I am daunted by the challenge (my last missive was typed after a few glasses of red) and even drove into the office this morning to pick up my Spanish Grammar - Easy Learning book to pull it together.  I need to pull myself together now to make it happen.    ¡Madre de Dios! ¡Yo soy un poco loco esta mañana!

Yesterday, myself and Jase celebrated 3 happy years together.  A quiet affair (we were both worn out after the week)- we had a wonderful dinner (fab pork, apple & sage sausages with pepper creamed potatoes and vegies) with candles and music at home, while listening to the rain hammering outside on the balcony.  It was wonderful.  Here's to many more :O)
