h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Bored? Why? What's (not) going on?!

Great to meet you on Saturday by the way. Your tiara was yummy and you're dead pretty.

I put my back out taking the beagle home - put her down when she was wriggling on an escalator. Had to spend two days in bed but got some decent writing done.

I was just... bored. I felt a bit too tired to write anything of my own, I've actually run out of things to subedit and I asked for more but nothing has been forthcoming... the weather's dull, and I had such a nice weekend that I'm despairing of anything nice ever happening again.

But on the other hand, its the wedding of a good friend of mine in just over two week's time, so I do have something to look forward to really

Sorry to hear about your back dogs may be cute but they shouldn't do that to people... I guess you have to be really careful of dogs on the tube. I've never had a pet and so that kind of thing is second hand to me...
Is it a bit better now?

Hello! Sorry, I lost this reply in the mists of time...and have just gone back over weeks of postings.

Back is brilliant again now - I have a great massage therapist. On a diet so feeling a bit low - but it's got to be done. Why? Because Peter and I are going on a course where my ex-husband will be a participant and I'm damned if I'm going to let him see me fatter!

How dumb is that???

Has the wedding happened or is it this weekend? This July/August business can get a bit tedious...everything just grinds to a halt.

Oh...dunno if you're interested, but AstroLion is doing free astrological charts on A794847 as a part of 360 Holistic Health.

The wedding's this coming friday So I'm trying to think of interesting ways to finish my film on my camera so's I have a fresh one at the wedding, wondering vaguely what shoes to wear and other mundane things like that, and thinking that I really must get down to doing some flute practice because I'm part of the music group for the service..

I'm glad you're back's better. Dumb to go on a diet? Maybe. There's always the chance that he wouldn't notice either way... but then again, you're going to be worried about it if you don't diet, and so you might as well, and not worry about what would have happened... At least its healthy... & when the course is over, you can stop the diet

I bear AstroLion's offer in mind No one's ever drawn up a chart for me before...

Re. diet. I'm sure you're right and the ex won't notice either way - he's the most detached man on the planet. But I'll feel better and no one at Summer School will be able to think 'God she's gone to seed since they broke up.'

Good old pride! Daft really, but I've got a dear friend who, when you say you're being daft or silly, says 'No, you're being human.' I like that.

It's actually two years today since he walked so it has been on my mind a bit. BUT I am incredibly happy now and it turned out to be a Very Good Thing in the end.

Have fun at the wedding. Shoes are vital; choose carefully!

Yeah, there's definitely something in the 'being human' - what else can you be? And at least you're not harming anyone by it I like when things turn out to be a good thing in the end - I woke up to a disturbing 'Trisha' this morning about jealous lovers, and people who couldn't seem to stop cheating, and I was sure that most of those couples would've been happier not being couples, but they didn't seem to see it that way.


My mother and I, injured ourselves whilst trying to hang a bead curtain today - the curtain broke, she's strained one leg and gotten a nasty graze on the other, & I've got a bruised, sore toe, so I think I'll be checking out 360's holistic health section sometime soon! so I don't think I'm going to be able to go to stockport & look at shoes, now; at least we're driving to the wedding

So....I get to my course (seven pounds lighter - which feels great) only to find that my ex is there with a 30-year-old size ten, really pretty girl. They've moved in together after just two and a half months.

Actually, it's all perfectly okay - but it wasn't for the first 24 hours! God, I needed some warning! Luckily it was the best course in the world for people who don't judge you on appearances - and I had many old friends and colleagues of many years' standing there so I was quids in, really.

That poor girl, on the other hand, was thrown into an esoteric subject in which she obviously had no grounding - and had to face the fact that the 'ex' was a senior participant. I wouldn't have been in her shoes for anything - and I think it was rather mean of him to throw her in the deep end like that.

Rant over. Apart from that, it was a great week. Exhausting but great. And my beloved was there with me the whole time so I have nothing to complain about.

But the diet continues now I am back!!

There should be a rule that says that an ex is obliged to provide an up to date picture of new love interests (for information purposes) for a period no less than five years from the breakup - thus avoiding you having to get used to it there and then.

Still, at least you weren't the one feeling a little like a fish out of water - what was the confernce on?

The good thing about virtual and is the lack of calories...

The conference was on the common roots of all religions - and how to live life well. Very interesting - and about finding your own pathway instead of being told what to do.

Love the idea of the 'five years rule' !

And I need the virtual chocolate today...thanks! World War Three broke out on holistic health (prosperity strand) overnight.

Back on the diet (which is working and I actually feel better too).

Found out last night that the new girl is currently divorcing a sugar daddy. Has never worked a day in her life and has brand new car etc.

Ho hum. Just another chance to see the real valuable things in life
instead of fussing about others!

And if she thinks my ex can support her in the manner to which she's accustomed, she'll have another think coming

Thanks for being there though...

I'm always here to provide and ...

I spotted WW3. I currently have no opinion on the subjects that brought it about, because I haven't read all the relevant entries... But it was fun reading the thread in a voyeuristic way, so you can know that nothing's all bad, and at least one person had a bit of pleasure reading... hmmm. Now I reread that I'm not sure this is a good thing...

Hmm.. good luck to your ex and his girl is all I can say, under that circumstance. I don't ever expect to have a brand new car without a hell of a lot of work first (actually I don't expect to have one at all, but that's because I'm strange...)
