Of Simpler Times

When I used to live in Middlesbrough, Wolfie used to travel up to visit every Saturday evening when I finished work. Typically, we got beer and pizza and had a DVD evening. We watched many things - films, drama and comedy series mainly - as we found it was the perfect way to spend time together and relax at the same time. Since we have moved in together, this tradition has somewhat fallen by the wayside but we resurrected it on Sunday after I finished work. As fate would have it, I live close to another excellent pizza house (with top garlic sauce) and six episodes of House later (yes, we are STILL only on series two - bite me) we concluded it was a rather excellent evening that definitely warrants repeating. We even had Extreme Sour Cream and Onion Pringles, whatever they were. They were just a little hotter than the normal ones.

On Monday, history repeated sans pizza (but with more Pringles) in the presence of the funkiest fox we know. We watched Memento - one of my favourite films and one Wolfie and Funky had not seen - and just chilled. After all, the fox had forgotten his wallet and was driving so a trip to the pub was out of the option. Just as well really - considering I find it desperately hard to relax and I am going through one of my darker spells at the moment, it was exactly what I needed. I even got some Spots and Stripes chocolate to cheer me up ^^

Anyway, I am off to Sheffield after work tomorrow for some much needed socialising. Perhaps I haven't been as social as I should have been this year - with the job I have, getting time off at weekends is exceptionally difficult - so I do feel I need to rectify this. I feel I am losing touch with people and I am not as active in the community as perhaps I used to be, I'm not sure. Just on edge at the moment, constantly frustrated, frequently embittered. Need to resolve it, just not sure how. More relaxing I guess.
