Thoughts Of A Travelling Husky

[lupestripe]

So I ended up boxing against my ex-girlfriend whilst wearing pink boxing gloves. She has boxed for around three years and so taught me some stances, moves and jabs before pummeling the shit out of me. We ended up sparring in her flat, much to Wolfie's amusement and my embarrassment. It was quite fun and very physically demanding but I admit it was odd trying to beat up a girl.

After this we made uttappams, Indian pizza-cum-pancakes full of onions,peppers and tomatoes. My ex, who is Indian, struggled but improved whilst Wolfie nailed it first time. The bastard. So I ate his cheese. The pan and spatula weren't the best and I struggled to flip the mixture, causing it to disintegrate. Still I improved towards the end.

It wad a really relaxing day - we spent the morning trying to avoid the London Marathon by going to leafy Richmond. As it was a warm day, we decided to sit in a pub and have a cheeseboard. We then walked to Kew in the sunshine along the River Thames. The signpost said it was a 1.25 mile walk. I say it was nearer four. We ate an ice cream in Kew Gardens car park, saw it would cost £13.95 to enter and promptly walked through the delightfully quaint village in order to get to the Tube. On the train, there was a mother and daughter who can only be described as being from The Only Way Is Essex. The ten year old kept flicking me with her hair and was clearly hyperactive. Not to mention annoying.

When we eventually got to my ex's place, she had a nice risotto on, which we ate before going on a posh picnic on Hyde Park. We had red pepper, cucumber and hummus with Bailey's ice cream for dessert. We also bathed in the sun, I orientated myself so it looked like a lamppost was coming out of her arse (shame the light wasn't flashing) and we saw an army of rollerbladers descend around the Serpentine. We were also subject to her dodgy driving. At the end of the day, she gave me a wooden Cambodian flute from Ankor Wat and a luminous whistle from a rave she went to, which I am wearing now. I look like a right furry raver XD.

In the end, the day, like the weekend, was fantastic. It was great relaxing amongst excellent company and catching up with long lost friends. We both had a great time and are aiming to return in mid-June.

Happy to hear you too have had a pleasant weekend. Batteries recharged, I'm hoping :)

It's amazing how going back to work, just for one day, can wear you out again though.

Indian pizza-CUM-pancakes... :D

It's cool that you're still on such good terms with her.

Yep, I ended the relationship to save the friendship. Was probably the best decision in hindsight.

Pink boxing gloves, cute :)

She has two pairs of pink boxing gloves, one are made out of valour :)

Hehe

The valour ones are particularly gorgeous - they shimmer and are a beautiful bright pink :)

Glad to hear you manage to stay on such good speaking terms with the ex. I can't even get hold of mine let alone ever meet up as whenever you speak to him he always claims to have guests or be RPGing. =:o

It was one of those situations where I needed to end the relationship to preserve the friendship. I think it worked out in the end.
