I'm...

... in an odd mood today (Sunday - Valentines...). I was out last night at a friend's houseparty and got home sometime this morning and eventually woke up in bed (and sleeping on the sofa for a while...) with a thumping hangover. A highly entertaining evening with a bit of guitar hero. My folks are heading up today to visit (I've been having some car problems and we're going to try and sort them...) so I rang them to confirm the time.

I found out that a member of the family had died. Whilst it wasn't a shock as they had been ill for a while. But when I was at my lowest last year it was an evening spent with him that persuaded me that I should pick myself up and that things weren't that bad. It didn't quite work but it started the process and I want to make every effort to attend his funeral.

But as I implied at the top its Valentines (granted not now but it was when I started the post). I thought being single for so long wouldn't make it tough this year. I was a bit wrong. I suppose it's thrown into sharp comparison because I've registered on a few internet dating sites. Spent part of party on saturday laughing about being single with a couple of guys in the loft (if you're wondering we were the only singles there...) and why none of us are especially enjoying it. I don't know, maybe its an age versus "decent" relationship ratio. Sounds daft I know!

Apologies small cut on the post from earlier, I wasn't going to hit post on it then did; the last paragraph was a result of ramblings just in from work, trying to sort out flights. My apologies, normal service to be resumed!
