Crazy Days

I'm not going to lie to you, it's been a mad, mad few weeks since last I wrote! My best friend's hen weekend in Barcelona last weekend was nothing short of ridiculous - I only wish I could divulge all that occurred, but the old adage of 'what goes on tour stays on tour' must, regrettably, apply in this instance. Suffice to say it involved 8 girls, 1 white stretch limo, 1 SATC-style apartment, 3 fantastic beachfront clubs and, er, 4 members of the Philadelphia Flyers Ice Hockey team from Canada (who are, I hasten to add, really rather famous...he he).

Single life is treating me well, I must say, in fact I might even go so far as to say it suits me. Now I've thrown off the shackles of a 9 year relationship and the wounds are slowly but surely beginning to heal, I'm taking some well-earned Me Time, and am coming to realise there's a lot of fun to be had out there! A bit too much, some might say....In fact, it's been all go on the boy front recently. Not only has the 23 year old come back into the frame (though still no actual meeting, I might add), but last night met a very cute guy in Henley who asked for my number (he was with a wedding party, lives in London..) so will see if he remembers me when he wakes from his drunken haze today! Have also been having some fun email contact with the friend of a friend, and on Thurs night went out and had a hilarious drunken encounter with a builder - my friend was so drunk she left me alone with him and his friend, his friend promptly left, but rather than turn myself into a slapper by taking him home (as he arrogantly suggested), I waited for him to go to the loo and then bolted down the road, hailed a cab and went home (leaving him to pick up the bar tab...oops). Appropriate, then, that I should be going to see the Sex and the City movie tonight, given all the high jinx that have been going on in my personal life of late!

So yes, life is good. Summer is getting into full swing, two festivals (Isle of Wight and Glasto) are just around the corner, and I finally feel I'm having fun for fun's sake rather than because I'm trying to forget what's happened to me. Here's hoping things continue in this vein for a long time, because I'm done with all the sadness. Life is for living, and that's exactly what I plan to do.
