early on this week i read a blog post from those 24 little hours titled “when is a friend not a friend…anymore?” and it gave me a sharp reminder about a friendship i thought was special which just vanished into thin air.

we had spent a lot of time together, me and this friend, we would see each other most days. we lived practically on the same road, all be it a long road but i used to park my car at her’s as it was near the station. it was kind of an odd friendship really, as she wasn’t the kind of person i would normally tolerate, not in the slightest. she was terribly spoilt, and tended to get things her own way but she never tried it on with me, i think she knew what answer she would get if she did!

well i guess the easter weekend had to come to an end at some point

we’ve done lots

we watched pirates in 3d, played in the park, wondered when naughty friday is, eaten our body weight in barbecued prawns, make some new artwork for the teapot, drank booze and a little more booze, eaten dinner at the savoy, got home past midnight, spent time with the in-laws and scoffed fabulous amounts of chocolate because we could and it would most certainly be wrong not to.

we’ve scooted round the park

swung on the swings

slid down the slide, sitting, laying, backwards and sideways

gone round and round on the roundabout

ronnie is sitting on my lap by the gates of the park and we are scoffing a 99 with a flake

my first boyfriend

the first person i truly loved, aside of my family of course

i met david when we were both 15. i always called him david, most called him dave or motty, but not me it was always david

he went to st martins and i the ursuline convent

these two schools didn’t really mix as a whole, actually no other schools in brentwood really mixed with the ursuline girls, i think they thought that we were all weirdos for going to a single sex school, with nuns and all that, and of course we must all be lesbians because of course a lesbian wouldn’t dream of going to a co-ed school?

how blooming gorgeous was today?

i had been dreading today. oliver had to head into to work for the day and the weather forecast had said it was going to be, well a little shit really and mostly grey. filled with dread of one of those cabin fever days, i had thoughts that maybe a trip to the cinema would be called for.

errrrrrrr nope cancel that, we awoke to clear blue skies and the sun was shining it’s happy little sun filled rays at us. how pleasing and splendid was that!
