In Memoriam

It's been a while.
Maybe if i work backwards i'll remember more.

Okay- today was a Sunday. Nuff said.
Yesterday... was amazing. I love yesterday. Muchos.
Livvy & her father picked me up in the morning from town & we went back to her house, which is a sweet little ex-cottage, still dressed to the nines for Christmas. We were then driven to Woodstock, & to the free entrance to Blenheim Palace Grounds. The bluest sky i'd seen for a while, the lovliest person i'd seen for a good while, cold, crisp & gorgeous. We had lunch in the quintessentially English village, while back at Livvy's afterwards we were treated to much needed mugs of hot chocolate.
I went to my Ma's, friend's, daughter's engagement party in the evening & talked to a couple of old eccentrics, which was quite fun.
In ways.

From Wednesday through Friday i was in London with my Ma, sister & uncle, visiting various extremely distant family & family friends, crashing the car, redecorating my room in halls & of course, New Years Eve. Well that was certainly a bizarre affair. Melissa came over in the early evening, we got ready & walked to Notting Hill (why do i never learn?) for Rupert to come & collect us once we'd got to a "gate with a jungle behind it, opposite Winter Wonderland". It turned out not to be an extension of Hyde Park which we originally thought he meant, but a series of very expensive apartments, one of which belonged to one of Rupert's very rich friends, where we also found Chloe and some other people we didn't know. We left to find a nearby pub, talked, sang, shouted, counted down about 3 times & were delighted to see it snow at 00.00 hours, Friday 1st of January 2010, on the dot. Having returned to the apartment & failed to locate food or any takeaways in the whole of central London (although one did answer only to tell us they were having a party), Melissa & i decided to go on an adventure & milk free transport until 4.30 am for all it was worth.

A kind of North, South, East, West thing.

And to be quite honest, i really don't remember beyond that.
Other than that i saw Mary on Tuesday & it was lovely... & i saw Ben at some point, which was very much strictly necessary- theres only so long i can go on being sane without the boy.

And that Christmas day was a partial success- i only managed to achieve one out my three aims for that day, but it was the best one. So now i have a plan.
