Happy Thanksgiving Day Canada!You know, to be honest, I'm the last person who needs a blog. I have no friends, no social life, hardly any original thoughts, no really strong opinions, and I'm too lazy to be really passionate about anything. What have I got to say?
On the (slightly) upside, I suppose it is cathartic, at least a little.
Yesterday, I foolishly said a few home truths to one of the Matrons at work, and upon arriving today I got a reprimand from my Charge Nurse, who had received an e-mail about my attitude! me of all people. I'm certainly not a trouble maker, and the funny thing is , everyone, bar none, who was present, agreed with all I said. Of course no one said so actually at the time!
I'm still having bad dreams. I woke up this morning and tried to hang on to a few images from them. We all know how frustrating that is, vainly clinging to an alternative reality, that is almost always, if not better, than at least more interesting than the 'real' one. It's only a matter of time before technology and dreams collide, and will we then ever want to leave? I doubt it.
(re-reading the title of my last post, I actually did have an haircut last week, that six monthly event so soon? With my long hair and big full beard I was starting to resemble Robinson Crusoe on his day off! the cut wasn't a complete disaster, but maybe once, just once I should pay the big bucks for a decent cut!)
After a smashing opener, I must say that Dexter , Season 4, has taken a bit of a downturn. His suburban life is so cloying, not only for the character , but the viewer. Overall it's a little dull, here's hoping the lot of them get bumped off later in the run.
I so regret not going away somewhere on my recent time off. I'm making a vow to go away for a few days the next time I'm off. It has got to be either Scotland, or maybe Belfast, let's wait and see,
I'm feeling incredibly lonely tonight.

Belfast......Great possible choice of destination:) The Craic's always great. I would advise you to look up How till speak norn iron on facebook if you do decide to visit our wee country:) It'll certainly keep you on the right track!! Think i might know a local tour guide to show you some of the sites if you do visit;-)
All the best!!
Dearest Anonymous,
mentioning Belfast was purely directed at you, although in all honesty it is somewhere I would dearly like to visit.
I rue the day we stopped being friends...
I think it was best i walked away when i did, well.... i did have to catch a plane home:) but i was a little annoyed with you not keeping me in the loop about Barbara until the day before i was due to leave for home, Was a bit of a shock as i thought we were good pals. I guess you had your reasons but i don't think you handled it very well. I felt like a bit of a spare part and getting in the way of your blossoming romance. Just thought a good friend would have handled it all better, but i guess we're all flawed and only human. Belfast and the rest of my home country is very beautiful, but somehow i don't think in your eyes it could compare with Vancouver. Would have loved you to appreciate my city for what it is. You never know, maybe one day.
We really did have a great wee friendship. I even enjoyed your Home Bargains wine, and my IKEA kids meal:)
Lots of luv to ya old pal
xx
Your comment mad me quite sad, but only because it was so painfully true. We were very good friends but I effectively ruined that, I'll always be sorry, and always feel guilty, if that's any consolation.
I was however being completely truthful about visiting Belfast though, British scenery can rival anything in the world, sometimes familiarity makes you blind to the beauty around you.
I've got a guilty knot in my stomach...
Well, it's only taken me a couple of years to tell you how i felt back then:) Sure what's done is done & it's the here and now that matters.
I've learnt over these last few months to value the friendships i do have, and not to take them for granted. I'm guessing you feel the same:)
You feel free to visit Belfast anytime. You're guaranteed a friendly welcome:)
Here, you can start untying thon knot from your stomach. Life's too short:)
