You have made me both think and laugh tonight Dan. Thank you.
Thank you Paul, you got me in to this- it is my main way of being in touch with all of you.
Thank you all for posting, I often feel as if it should be me moving to Aber, I would be happy their.
I should study, but I’ll probably knit.
…but at least I made some progress today. Heaps of work done. Good stuff.
Plus, managed to squeeze in some research that I’ll need for later in the week.
And, better yet, my colleague Phill left his mobile at the office tonight, so I’ve reprogrammed his operator logo from it’s old one (the O2 logo) to a more fitting one (the word ‘codemonkey’). He’ll guess it was me. But who gives a shit, eh?
Hugz and kittenz, everybody;
Jen is, of course, correct. It is a beautiful morning. As I came over the brow of Penglais hill into the valley of Capel Dewi, the frosty fields were spread out before me like a big white blanket. If you happen to be up early this morning, go take a look… before it thaws.
It’s a pity I have so much work to do. I’d have enjoyed spending the day walking. Perhaps I’ll see if I can get everything I need to do, done, and bunk off early… try to find a way up the hill that overshadows the valley: the one I’ve always wanted to climb…
(all dependent on getting this work done, but hey…)
Following my previous entry, here’s some recent feeling around the matter of “losing faith in what you love”.
Very recently, I’ve met a great many people who are just beginning to find interesting and rewarding a thing which I have taken for granted for so long. And I’ve been encouraging this, in my own way – helping them to understand what makes it so great. Would I be a hypocrite if I didn’t believe it myself? And to hide this, how well must I act?
Maybe I’ve written too much. And maybe I’ve written too little. I’m not looking for people’s sympathy any more than their concern. And I’m still me, still happy, and still doing the things I do with the people I love. I’m just a little confused.
But if anybody has the answers, don’t hesitate to tell me.
