Singular Scene

It is not normally in my nature to be spontaneous. I am reasonably measured about deciding to do things, particularly where there is the exchange of cash involved. So you may be surprised to know that this morning I spent some time surfing the web for airfares to go for a visit to see Bliss. Imagining that I may go up in a few weeks, we had talked about trying to find a weekend when I could go up and spend some time in her new house.

The thing is, I have been missing her rather dreadfully. I have been cranky and touchy for weeks and haven’t been friendly to the boys and girls I work with. I really was due a couple of days off and wasn’t going to last until Easter, or until I got to NZ, which has it’s own challenges and stresses…

So, I was scoping out airfares, thinking about Bliss and the fact that she is on holidays this week and I had that thought, the one that says “you know, there’s really was no reason you couldn’t take a couple of days out of your annual allowance and go up to see her while she’s on break…”

I batted my eyelashes at the boss who said I could have Monday and Friday off… (I think he is nice to me given the last boss I worked for) and then rang Bliss.

She practially dropped the phone.

I’m thinking I might even leave the laptop at home..

Oooh now that’s scary.

You may (or may not) remember the Do Good Day Out with Rev back in January. I had the opportunity to spend the day with him again today, and after the big night out last night was feeling less than enthusiastic when I rocked up to his house at 9am ready for an 8 hour day… On the weekend…

I must be insane.

Rev was in fine form as usual, he has the happy knack of being able to recall any number of quotes from the various movies he has seen over the years (or over and over…). This is a clever thing, however he employs it to keep up a constant stream of coversation … with himeslf. I swear if it wasn’t so damn tragic it would be hysterical, in small doses…

As it was, it was for 8 hours.

I’m such a selfish bitch. He really does enjoy his day out with me, I get paid reasonably well for it and my expenses are compensated. So I look at my life and think, one day in a month is really no great hassle to give the kid a good time. And honestly, I do have one myself… I think I am tired and hormonal…

Anyway, on today’s entertainment menu; I had borrowed Kirky’s Play Station in case Rev was game for an afternoon of playing (pun intended), we went to the mall and watched Racing Stripes – the best bits of which he repeated to me all afternoon… I took him for a swim at one of the local beaches. We had lunch at the ubiquitious McDonalds, every child’s choice for a fancy lunch out… we also attempted a ride on his bike up Manly Beach… he is reluctant to move his legs much and seemed inclined to have me push… (I refused and he got off an pushed the bike around instead!) and we finished off the afternoon playing Crash Bandicoot for an hour.

Now? It’s 7.03pm and I… am… knackered.

I am booked in for another Rev go round in 2 weeks… As other news includes a possible contract to build 2 websites I might have to put the next Rev’s big day out on hold…

Do you know anyone who wants a big day out with a little fella??

You may, or may not, remember YGM2 and the well done steak… tonight was dinner with Bet, Flick and Flash at R&R and I had me some of the best steak ever… done medium rare… Butter wouldn’t have melted sooner in my mouth.

So, thanks to the South Africans who learnt to cook on the brais and could you pop out the back and teach the lads downstairs a thing or two about cooking meat on a barbie…

Oh yeah, and I put comments on my wiblinks…
