And while I'm away, I'll write home every day, and send all my loving to you.

one fine day

1.

I was going to call this blog, 'one is the loneliest number'. However that seems so wrong now, after the lovely day I've had.

It was hot today. Too hot. I woke up early to clear the storeroom for the last time and nearly fainted from the heat in that room. It was rather stuffy. But, I have finished and I'm quite pleased with the results. I then chose to hide away in my air-conditioned room and pack my suitcase. I've managed to amaze myself with how little I'm packing. Enough room left so I can bring back gifts. For myself of course.

However, once everything was packed (save toiletries) I was desperately bored. So, I chose to impose my presence on two of my friends who'd gone off walking earlier. After feeling strangely low yesterday, being able to just sit and talk was really nice. My afternoon was filled with lazy, funny goodness. Oliver was abusive every now and then, but despite that, it was still a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

I'm now home, chatting and picking music to put on my iPod. Not long now.

Conclusion: I will miss all my friends very much.

Two's company.

I feel a bit despondant tonight. Which is fine. I wish I knew why. But the thing that bothers me the most is the possiblity that I make other people feel a bit crappy.

Two is not long.

I feel a bit nervous/excited.

Tree: in Ireland, the number that comes between two and four.

I'm not awake enough (or ready) to make my own pretty words at the moment. But, in order to complete the countdown, I will borrow someone elses.

Life is funny like that. It's hard to find the balance.

Over halfway done, only four to go.

I am tired. Life is catching up to me at the moment. I'm sleeping on and off after getting home at around half six. After a late night, I decided to recover with cake, a film and a friend. As my life becomes more and more aimless, it is always nice to relax and see friends.

Moments where you tip your head to the side. Smile a little, and think 'what?': Today, I was welcomed home with a note which read:

'wather my bean eveey day. love Thomas.'

My youngest brother often surprises me. He can be a bit violent and single-minded on games, but also very thoughful and caring. I don't quite know what to think when it comes to the boy.

This blog seems a bit lacklustre, but I don't mind because my day was not. And there is a cat twisting around my legs for love.

In another five hours I should be nearing the halfway mark in cleaning the storeroom.

My day has been uninteresting today. I slept in a tad to late whilst having an odd semi-awake dream. In this dream, I was going out with some friends. We were going to a club. Everyone looked great, however it was upon arriving at the club that I realised I was wearing thongs. It was at this point I woke up more confused than anything.

After that, I wandered down to the kitchen. Ate something. Read a little, and then started to clean. I'm constantly finding junk I've never seen in my life. A lot of it is old papers. One of the discoveries which amused me most was a medium-sized box filled to the brim with old kumon papers. Why we held onto them I have no clue.

I need to find nicer stationary. On the to do list.

Edit 1:05pm: I've just found something which makes the box of kumon look commonplace. A massive tub completely filled with unopened model aeroplanes.
