Was over in Winchester for Js wedding (which was in Guilford) over the weekend. Being back there always does slightly weird things to my head. I miss England. I'm not dying to move back there on a daily bases but when I'm there I realise that I do miss it. Winchester is even odder than just England as it's where I grew up for 18 years or so before going to Uni. Not that I want to live there either! The wedding was great fun. Met up with some old friends I'd not seen in over 10 years. Not hung out with them for more like 15. On the one hand it seemed sad to have lost touch with people and I wondered if I should have made more effort to keep in contact with people I move away from but then when the reality set in I realised that I'd moved on so much since then and that to be blunt you dont need to keep every friend you ever make. Those that you care enough (and that care enough about you) will stay around in some form or other. Those that you dont (or dont about you) it's kind of tough I think. Still I'm happy to be in contact again and will enjoy the benefits of FB of keeping me in contact with acquaintances I'd otherwise not bother ever contacting.

The wedding itself was a laugh. While I missed having S and M there, I also kind of enjoyed the freedom not to worry about either of them or have to drive and could just relax and enjoy myself. With the table I was sitting at, it was kind of like being 18 again! S and I were trying to subtly sneak too many welcome drinks only to discover that they were going round refilling them anyway... The evening do was a barn dance - which I'd forgotten what fun they are. Dont think I've been to one since Js 18th!

Took yesterday off to spend with S and M. Was lovely. But back to work today... My work is very manic at the mo. I go from extremes to just wanting to quit to deciding to put in the effort and make it good. I'm in a reasonably good place at the mo but it can change rapidly! Dont be surprised if I've decided to quit tomorrow!
