Crikey...

Has it only been a week and a half? It has flown by. My work load picked up as there is a busy weekend coming up! Busy busy busy! Tired. I'm not going to say much as I'm off to bed soon.

We had just over a week of glorious sunshine here in London, but it turned today! That's probably our summer gone. It lasted longer than the week of sunshine we had last year (in April!) I love it when it's warm and sunny. Everyone is in a good mood and the world just feels good. But back to doom and gloom! That's the one think I hate about this country - weather.

I spent last weekend with a friend who is getting married in July. A rather large do - hindu wedding. Can't wait. Yet jealous (in a nice way). I have been officially single for almost 3 years. I had one 'relationship' in between that lasted over a year, but it turned out to be a waste of time. A story that could be a blog in itself. Maybe for another time. My ex-boyfriend is also a whole blog in itself! He became a born again christian while we were going out! I've been burnt too many times, so there's probably a deeper reason as to why I have been single for so long. I don't trust men. I'm not sure I would know how to think about someone else in my life - it's difficult when you have been on your own for a long time. And London is not an easy place to meet people, much to people's belief. British men are rubbish and I always attract the wrong ones. I have had the odd older man ask me out (and I mean older!) Because I'm of chinese origin, there are certain men who think I am the subservient type like some fellow counterparts. I hate to generalise, but hey, I just have. Anyway, i'm sure my time will come... I hope.

And just of note, I still haven't changed the battery in my watch... and I am still wearing it. In fact, I am considering buying a new watch. Not because I can't be bothered to get a new battery... it is very old. Well, actually - it probably is coz I wouldn't be considering buying a new watch!

I'll be back to normal in a week or two...

Even a stopped watch tells the right time twice a day

I looked at my watch today and realised that it is still broken! It stopped about a month ago and I still have it on my wrist. This is one of my procrastinating moments. I will eventually get it fixed... I just don't know when yet! I've always thought I'd feel naked without a watch, yet it is seemingly pointless that it does not serve its purpose anymore. It only makes me think "I must get the battery changed" a number of times a day. Although I am learning that it won't tell me the time and looking at it less and less. It will soon be purely decorative.

I've had somewhat of a dull week, yet it's been great. Just easing myself into the job. I'm having to adjust my time (without my trusty watch). I'm a bit of a night owl. I can't help but go to bed late and have never been much of a morning person. But here I am, a changed woman. I didn't make many plans this week so I could be fresh faced for the job, so there is not much to report I'm afraid. Other than the company I work for is great, the people are really nice and it is such an exciting and great time to join them for where the company is going. I feel so lucky I got this job, so grateful and so happy. Things are looking up.

Bank holiday weekend coming up... 3 days off and the sunshine will be out. (supposedly!) So the coming week should be more exciting and I'll have more interesting things to report other than a watch that only tells the right time twice a day!
