Back to business

Had a great dinner with my brother Lukas and his wife Amy last night. It only just occurred to me as I was leaving that I now have a new sister, how exciting! I still won't have a sister that I'm related to by blood though (because you're adopted Gini).

Feeling substantially better today, as I was well aware yesterday that the negative thoughts were due to being tired. I have decided that I'll keep my opinions off this site from now on, someone mentioned that I need to avoid having a 'holier than thou' attitude, and I realised that venting my frustrations in the form of an ideological rant might come across as though I think I'm some sort of Ghandi character, void of the same greeds and vanities as everyone else. Once again I forget that when many people read this site they take me quite seriously and think I would say these sorts of things in a conversation, this isn't a conversation, just a ramble in my head which changes from day to day.

Funnily enough I don't have the same gut wrenching desire to get in the gym and haul some metal around that I used to have, although a few good bone snapping sessions will get the endorphin addiction back to full throttle in no time I'm sure.

Lucas is off to an interview with a recruitment agency this afternoon and I'm heading to Oxford for the weekend to catch up with a friend we met in South America, and then I'll get the bus to Bury St Edmunds on Monday morning. Bank Account, NHS number, NIS number, Social Security office, gym and job hunting is my list of high priorities when I arrive in Bury - as well as having a great time with the family on their summer holidays. We have ourselves a little collection of Latin American music that brings a tear to my eye every time I hear them. Our aeroplane yesterday had a Latin American music channel that we remained glued to for the duration of the flight, and as we touched down our favourite song from the whole trip came on...

Volverte a ver

Es lo que quiero hacer

Volverte a ver

(something) puedo reponer

Porque sin ti

Mi vida no yo soy feliz

Porque sin ti

Mi vida no tiene raiz

Basically translates as - I'm coming back to see you. And we will be back in South America.

I've also re-allowed the comment feature if anyone wants to send me some more hate mail, just no bad language please or I'll have to silence to dissidents again.
