Slowly killing me.
It appears that I have vanished off the face of the earth.
I haven't.
I've just been having a few mini-personal-dramas. (How do you spell the plural for crisis?)
The weekend was something lovely. Woke up early on the Saturday, but spent the whole morning in bed, chatting to and cuddling with my Beloved. In the end, I got hungry and had to venture into the kitchen to whip up some local fare - bacon butties. They're really quite simple: Cook bacon and then slap it between two slices of lightly toasted bread. Nice and luxurious. Even better when eaten hot, amongst covers and cuddles.
Portobello Road was our next destination. The place where they filmed 30 seconds of "Notting Hill". We saw several book stores that could have been the one but there were no glam movie stars to spill my cappuccino over. I didn't think Beloved would appreciate scalding coffee down his shirt, so I just drank it instead, along with the beeee-yooo-tiful apple pastry that one of the marketers were selling. Portobello Road is probably one of the more famous markets in London (along with Petticoat Lane), and it has all types of influences all over it. Antiques. Beads. Jewelry. Fresh foods. Clothes. Ganja. It was all there. I had to cautiously step over one dreadlocked dude who had hit the market produce just a little too hard. He wasn't about to wake up any time soon, but he looked comfortable enough curled up on the fruit boxes.
After the time spent in London, I had to hurry home lest I spend any more money that I don't technically have yet. Once back in the House from Hell, Beloved and I returned to the covers and cuddled and watched DVD's for hours and hours. Just being around him makes me forget all the bad things in the world. There is no price that can be put on that kind of happiness.
But without it, I feel like I'm slowly killing myself.
It's now getting to the stage where I don't know how long I can keep going like this.
This holiday can't come soon enough!
17 days to go.
