Hello, On Wednesday I went to the post office, and posted my mum away by first class mail. Only joking :-) It was economy class mail... the post offices in London are huuge! It was so big they split it into 4 different counters, they call them "Terminals", which sounds very scary. Farewell was short but sweet, a bit like me really. I waited I think 21 years for this, I turned the table around on my mum and asked her if she has got everything, did you bring your passport? Did you bring tissues in case you sneeze? Did you bring my phone number so you can call if you forget something? And for God's sake give me a call when you arrive! Wow, no one told me that being a fussy mum is so much fun! If I knew that before I'd do that more often. So, as soon as my mother was gone I am already on a hot date, met up with Stacey who was visiting London from Greece that day, had food and drinks, mostly drinks, on her part. Talked about loads of things including how my brain was warped by aliens with a laser beam to the back of my neck. Hehe, then, once again had fussy mother fun before we parted on the tube. Then went home, which is now totally empty. Too tired to feel anything, just went straight to bed.. needed sleep bad so maybe it was good that the house was deadly silent. Work next day was basically dossing, cos I was too tired to work properly after having only 5 hours of sleep. Reflecting on an eventful week, which saw me being in 5 cities, 1 airport and a heck of a lot of people's company, then thinking about what living alone will be like from now on. The first night alone was fun, without any kind of supervision I was singing along to music real loud, and the place looked considerably less tidy than before... cooked my first dinner in 2 years and it tasted pretty good. Tonight marks the first weekend on my lonesome, I was still enjoying my own company but whilst I was washing up the thought suddenly hit me that I'm on my own now, it wasn't really a sad or happy thought, it was just a new thing that happened really. Oh yeah, and my dinner from last night has gone off.. hehe first time for everything. Mum called back saying she's arrived, and nagged about things, but the nagging sounds a lot more exotic now it comes all the way from Hong Kong. Might do some recording tomorrow now that I can sing without being embarrassed... Oh by the way, girls, now that I'm living on my own I'm ready for you to come round for a cup of Red Bull. ;-) Loud echoes and Red Bulls Ken +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
