It was quite an eventful week. Went to yoga on Monday and Thursday, which as usual ate up the whole evening. Had 2 fillings replaced on Tuesday (might have to go back, though, one of them feels slightly too high). Went sailing on Wednesday, which was awesome and reminded me how much I love the sea. Not enough to get my own sailing licence, I still prefer being in the water to being on top of the water, but I'm planning on visiting Brighton this autumn, just to sit at the beach.
On Friday, I went out on a date. I'm not very good at online dating, I just loose interest way too fast and am not online often enough to keep conversations going, but that guy sounded ok and I thought, hey, why not. We had a pretty pleasant evening, there was a bit of holding-hands and kissing, but unfortunately there wasn't any spark between us. I'm just too busy to keep up half-hearted things, it's not fair on anyone either, so I've had to let him got. The date did, however, confirm that there's nice guys out there who are interested in me and I'm convinced there will be one that's just right. I just have to find him and date a few frogs until then. Could be worse.
On Saturday I got up at an ungodly 8am to trek over to Ealing to put an end to the ex-flatshare situation. It all took way too long, Haart is probably the worst estate agency ever as no-one seems to know what they're doing. After almost 3(!) hours and a lot of phone calls to the absent administrator (who had failed to let us know that she's on holiday), they signed the new contract and I got the leftover money. I still can't quite believe that it's done, over, I don't have to deal with them again, but that's it! Went home and for a celebratory lunch with my new flatmate, then relaxed a bit and gave wardrobe advice, then headed out to Waterloo to meet my friends at Namco. It was Jo's 35th birthday and he'd decided he needed a bit of childish fun. The original idea was to hit Trocadero, but apparently that's closed down (haven't noticed at all). So Namco it was. Spent the evening bowling, playing DDR (I'm ok at beginner level, suck at everything else) and Guitar Hero (totally rock the easy stage, but struggle at medium). Loads of fun was had, it was great to see everyone again.
Today will be mostly made of lazy. I've been to the supermarket and around the shops in Wimbledon, I had planned to go sit in the park for a bit but now the sun's gone, people are meeting in Richmond but I can't be arsed to get myself on the train, so I'm probably just going to stay in and cook something interesting tonight.
I might also do some Burning Man outfit trials, I've just discovered that BA has reduced the baggage allowance to 1 bag/23kg which is not great at all. I'm contemplating paying for an extra bag (£68) just to be on the safe side, but can do that once I've started packing. I didn't loose enough weight to be totally comfortable in skimpy outfits (I'm still hovering around the 75kg mark, last time I was down to 71kg and those 4kg really annoy me) but should be fine with the stuff I've got.
The Man burns in 20 days!
