Thursday 30th September
So i arrived at around 3:30pm to my Gran’s place. Not only was the drive here really nice, i could feel the resentment and tiresome life of living in a busy town drift slowly away as the miles passed. What a nice feeling, one which has not been felt for a long time. I know it sounds strange, but honestly driving through the countryside with the sun just poking occasionally through the clouds is a beautiful thing. I actually prefer this time of year to summer, it’s a bit cooler and the world somehow seems more clean and fresh.
My Gran has given me this really cool little room to stay in. I really love her house, it’s so old world and country-like and i really love it here. No noise at all, so quiet and so just the opposite of everything that im used to being a part of. Im sitting at a kind of old stufy desk as i type this, looks like it was made in about 1910. Sitting in what i suppose could be deemed to be an office chair, although it’s made of wood and has no wheels on it! No plastic in sight!
Im glad i came. This morning i was a bit dubious, mainly because i thought the reason why i wanted to get away, namely being depressed out of my skin, was gone. I soon realised when i got here that it wasn’t gone and being here is actually making me think more about it than ever before. But thats ok i guess, maybe it’s a sign of dealing with issues? Who knows. Im feeling a little tired and will type more tomorrow, hopefully we’re going to head off somewhere historic tomorrow so im looking forward to it.
Friday 1st October
Well today didn’t go quite according to plan! The weather has been awful, i mean really quite awful to the point where we literally couldn’t do anything all day. The rain was pounding against the window from early this morning until late in the evening. What a wash out!
I did venture out to the supermarket with the dog, but got totally drenched and ended up having to spend the afternoon wearing shorts as id only brought one pair of jeans with me! Oh well, at least i bought some rice and a paper... Totally worth it!
Still the day wasn’t a total loss, since i spent most of it in a nice warm chair drinking tea and reading about the history of the Falkland Island and subsequent conflict. So as im sure you’d agree, a pretty awesome day! Jesus im so old, you wouldn’t think i was 25 would you.
I’ve been asking my Gran about her house whilst writing this, she tells me it was built in 1790!? Wow, amazing huh? She was saying that it used to be designated a hovel, haha... I can assure you its not a hovel anymore. Although she did mentioned when they bought it they applied for a special designation or something. However the body came back to them and said the building had no features, either interior or exterior which were desirable. How nice of them!!!
Anyway, think im going to venture into town tomorrow to investigate a bit. We’ll see, hopefully it won’t be chucking it down with rain!!
Saturday 2nd October
Had an awesome sleep in the bed i was given. Felt like i was lying on a slightly collapsing fainting couch. Oooh manly! Anyway, managed to wake up eventually and finally went for a nice walk. Also found some beech nuts on the ground and munched on them. Who knew you could even do that? Something to remember audience! I do love my Gran’s dog, she’s so awesome. Although since she’s actually on a diet now she keeps licking my fingers whenever ive eaten something. Oh well, i left about 2pm and had a nice leisurely drive home. Some bastard policemen were waiting at the bottom of a hill on the way home trying to catch people speeding. Luckily i was warned by oncoming traffic to slowdown. Damn nice of them, since i was speeding quite heavily... AHEM what i mean to say was i was well within the speed limits!
That’s it really i had a nice relaxing few days and although it might have come across as boring, sometimes that’s what you need. Was nice to get away from things for a while, just chill out and read and cook stuff. Although the main reason i went was to try and figure out some stuff. All i managed to figure out was that i still miss her and it sucks. Bit stupid really since i’ve known that for like the last 6 months. Great job Alex, great job.
Just finally, i have no clue whats going on with the formatting on Blogger, its all screwed up for me. I have no idea why. Might try a different font...
Take care!
