Like Knowing, it was good, but shame about the ending.

This morning saw my relatives leave after their stay. After that was the cleanup operation to try to resume normal functioning after having a number of people living in the house that far exceeds the number it was built for. I also decided to have a cycle around Drum as part of my low level fitness reboot. It was actually really nice going up round balmaccaan and down lewiston, forming a fairly large circle starting and ending at my house. Then we headed to town where my parents did the food shopping in the absence of internet to have it delivered. I find Tesco an acceptable place to kill 10 minutes or to have banter with friends but it is a horrendous place to be for an extended period of time. By the time I left I had almost forgotten there was actually a world out there. This evening I went to the Benleva with Drew, Darroch and some people visiting Drum from Germany. It was actually a really good evening, then Rebecca joined us briefly, followed by two catalonian girls, one of whom, by sheer coincidence, had done almost the exact tour of Sri Lanka that darroch had done a couple of months previously. Even as a clueless onlooker their conversation was fascinating and made me even more sure I want to travel in the immediate future. After leaving the pub a few of us decided to break off from the main group, having to work tomorrow. This made us understandably unpopular but it was unavoidable really. A bit disappointed with the low note of the end of the night, I got home to stuff I won't go in to but to be honest I don't know how ill manage the next year in Drum. I just have to be so thankful for a few good friends also being stuck for the next year. After that I'll be happy to get away from everything here. Sing of the day is My Way by Northern Kings. It's great, with amazing vocals, that is all.
