...is that they quite often lead to disappointments.

Now that I have you hooked, on with the journal.

Recently I have been absent due to a holiday with Unconformity and some of her friends, which was interesting. It was also fun, but lets lead with the 'interesting' points. I was supprised how annoying it was to not be in full control of what I did or where I went on a holiday, though I was unsurprised to find that being up a mountain would give me a panic attack. The second point was down to a rubbish local map that was not in English giving the people leading me the impression that the top of a mountainy bit would lead to a gentle, vertico friendly, decent back to the height of normal people, when it didn't. It instead lead to a rather undignified panic and coming back the way we came before more panic and complaining on the longer, but still substantially hair raising decent.

Now for the good bits...I spent a lot of time with Unconformity and saw some nice valleys and got some good weather, so overall I have some good holiday memories

But now down to the expectation point...or is it more like hope? Either way, I had some expectation of getting things finally sorted out so I could be living with Unconformity in the same place and possibly decent jobs on the horizon...this has not materialised yet, and is still very much in the distance. So I have to go back again to my rubbish temporary job and with Unconformity staying somewhere else

Right, that should bring you all up to date, hope everyone I know has been getting on well here and hopefully we will get chance to chat at some point.

Shame we don't have the map so we can burn it and prevent any more walks going so different to the plan . You know I wouldn't have taken you up a nearly 3000m high mountain with a scree slope each side if we'd known that's what it was, rather than a short stroll on a wide ridge

There were some very nice valleys

Yes, that one's really quite pants , nothing we can do apart from keep applying for jobs though

I'm going to do an impersonation of my mother here and quote cliches at you.

1) Nothing ever goes the way you planned.
(This is not always a bad thing - unless of course a mountain is involved)

2) Everything comes to he (or she) who waits.
(If you're going to spend the rest of your lives together, a few more weeks or months really isn't going to make much difference - trust me on this one).

You'll be properly together one day and in the meantime, you have being together to look forward to.

You're right of course, we have particular experiance with your first point, we try now not to plan anything at all because we can never stick to them .

It's thundering so much the sky is flashing with purple, think I'd better turn the computer off

Unconformity: I know you would not take me up there on purpose

Lizz: You are right of course. I just wish we did not have to be sooo patient

I know that you know that I know... argh, I can feel my brain tying in knots

We should be used to being patient by now really

Poor Unconformity

I would rather get unused to it

Researcher PSG

We'll get unused to it soon enough

Good
