Around every hour there is a weird little sound, a bit like pipes expanding or contracting, only more musical. I haven’t traced the source of the sound, I suspect it is computer generated but it doesn’t seem to correspond with any of them trying to tell me anything. Its not an hourly beeper because sometimes happens five minutes apart and sometimes way longer than an hour.
Heading up to Bob & Louises party on saturday I had a weird loneliness, its not something that happens very often, but right then I really needed a passsenger, not necessarily someone to talk, just someone to be there, someone who wanted me take them to the party. Sometimes I find it hard to motivate myself into doing things, if there are other people around who want to do things theres more reason to do them.
Still, the party itself was quite fun – catching up with Bob & Louise was really good, I’ve not seen them to talk to properly for a long long time, but that didn’t seem to matter. And there were a few other people I’ve not seen for ages too. I’m going to have to be a bit more active with London people – though late night things like this are a bit more irritating for me, having to drive across town because the trains stop at 11.
Then yesterday saw me head up to Oxford for stompyboots and purple_pens leaving Oxford party. Again good to catch up with people I’ve not seen for a long time. Not that I got much of a chance to talk to some of them. Its close enough to be able to get up there for the evening, so I’m hoping to keep in touch with them better now…although, of course, Penny and Kate will be elsewhere from next week.
