So Dan arrived safely in Bangkok yesterday after I got a phone call while in the cinema yesterday. I noticed a big flaw in my plans to keep busy the whole time Dan's away, is the fact that I'm more likely to miss his calls while I'm busy having my hair done or in the cinema. We had the most horrendous night on Friday night. Dan missed his connecting flight from Paris to London and as all his cards were blocked (from using them abroad) I had to use mine. All the flights were either sold out or ridiculously expensive and there was no way of getting him back in time to catch his flight to Thailand on the Saturday. We got him back in the end though after a lot of tears (me) and a lot of stress (me and him).
The first weekend without him has gone pretty smoothly. I was busy all day Saturday with the Kenilworth Carnival which I absolutely LOVE! It's like a day to celebrate being a member of my family as ALL of my dad's side of the family are involved in it. It was hot and a lot of money was raised for charity. The highlight had to be when me and my mum hijacked the car my brother was driving in the procession and we ended up waving and having our photographs taken by members of the public! We did get a few weird glances as if to say 'who are they?' but it was funny nonetheless!
Sunday, I spent most of the day with Fowler which was nice. We had lunch and then headed to Star City to watch Bridesmaids. Very funny film- I advise all to go and watch it. So all in all- it's not been a bad weekend.
The next week is going to drag though. Soph (my flatmate) is going away for a week and while it will be lovely to have a bit of time to myself, I'm concerned about the impact of everyone- leaving-me- at- once is going to have on me. Dan has obviously left, the last few days in the office last week, I was alone on my desk of about 12 people and now Soph is going away. I'm going to start getting a complex. Still, it's quite nice to think that I will get a bit of down time to chill out and watch films and stuff.
