It's such fun

Gawd, what an ending to the week!!!
Did not sleep particularly well :( Maybe it was the pernod? Maybe not? But at least it was not as chaotic as the dichotomy of waking up Thursday morning after dreaming of 3B all 'Mr. Happy', then waking up Friday morning, after dreaming of 3B again, with a wet pillow ... But was awake by 3AM, after crawling into bed at 11PM, and the ABC still would not work on the television, so could not even watch RAGE!!!
So pottered about, finished off the Akira book I had, and remembered bits from the movie, sipping on my Grey Goose + sparkling mineral water + lime, waiting for the sun to rise. Did not really feel like eating, so just had some toast + goop, packed my little bag, before heading out to see JimE, he being the b/day boi ...
Tried something different, went through Tenneriffe, past Breakfast Creek Hotel, turned left, and went along Sandgate Road from the beginning, which was a lot of fun! Along way saw a bloke on a BMC SLR-01, so pulled over and chatted until the lights changed, which freaked out his companions. But hey, why ride a bike if you are not prepared to be proud of what you ride? Got rained on quite a bit, which made the ride a little cold, as it was also windy. But what fun it was, such fun ...
JimE had barely gotten up, was still having his morning coffee-in fact I think he had only just finished it by the time I had smashed down 2 beers? Played with Hunter and looked at his new toy, which was a very interesting combination of a digger/dumper/loader combo ... Anyway, he and his Dad were pleased with it ...
Then back on bike to look at the room at Shane's and to talk about moving in, which seems a fair proposal? Nice area, not too far from shops, etc. Then went 'exploring' on the bikepath for how to get to West End ... which is a roundabout way of saying I got lost, or maybe that there was no conceivable bikeway access there? In either case, ended up jumping on to Kelvin Grove Road, and just sprinting (think that is the part where my speedo recorded a 45+kph bit?) my little heart out, dodging through traffic, jumping across lanes - so thanks to all the drivers that made an effort to help me out ... ;)
On other side, sent text to heaps of people saying that I was nearly there, to text me if/when they got there, and all but 2 actually responded!!! Of those 2, 1 rarely responds to me anyway, and the other was many miles away, had mentioned in passing, so I included merely to indicate that as a friend, was sharing the joy ... and what a joyous day it was!!!!
The West End Festival was nowhere near the rambuctious/chaotic fusion of the Boundary Street Festival of old :( But, most important of all, it was what it was, lots and lots of fun-although the one thing I was interested in at the Boundary Hotel I shyed away from due to the noise of Blind Dog ... but entertainment abounded in many other forms.
Was to meet Little Stevie at Lock n Load, sat o/s for a bit watching entertainment, feeling the weight of my exhaustion bearing down, thought that it would be just my luck that he would turn up as I sat o/s waiting, so I best do something about it. So I looked up, and at that very moment, the table next to the window emptied :o So I rushed in and snaffled it ... Bought a jug of beer, sent him a text saying 'shall I pour you a glass?' and Jenny walked past :o Then came in and joined me ...
From there it was all on, people, entertainment, laughter, stories, beer, entertainment, people ... Wow, am really kind of glad that I walked away from all of that at about 5, though. Got back onto bike and pedalled home through the cloudy, darkened dusk, bouncing across the Queen Victoria Bridge, then down Adelaide Street, which seemed to have been closed off, as traffic was extremely limited down there ... Anyway, rode hard so as to burn off some of my nervous energy and the carbs from all of that beer ;)
Got home, thought to unwind would eat lots of toast, pan fry the Rainbow Trout, which had been mellowing under a saffron infusion since last night, finish off the Grey Goose + ginger beer, check online presence, and found a rather confusing email from 3B :( especially so as I am unsure of what she is referring to (could it of been the letter to myself?) but as she did not respond to phone, and texted back 'Busy eating with my son' I guess I have to wait to find out? Although I suspect she has completely misunderstood something, I wonder if she will ever apologise, or acknowledge error? Pity, because I do consider her a most wonderful person (but do fear that this may not be acknowledged enough! grr) who, I thought, was part of a mutual likability, so was really keen to try out a 'friendship' with her, especially now that it had been pointed out what a 'no relationship' statement means ... As I have said previously, finding her was hard enough, but hanging onto her, keeping her interested enough to hang there is the real challenge ...
So, we shall see, we shall see ... But I do really, really hope/pray that I am not just consigned to the scrapeheap of the past ...
Anyway, the week has begun again, as they do ;) The only thing that will make this week bigger + better is going to be how +ve I am thinking/feeling, so let us do this thing called life ... :o
