its a season of Re - marraiges
every time i call home recently i hear about someone getting (re)married
and i go ... again! and ma says uff u dont remember anything they split up ages ago ...

im very bad at remembering the 'social events' which ma pours into my ears everytime i call
i forget people got married, split up, had kids ... or even died
i keep making a faux pas which earns my momma's wrath
like she will tell me so & so had a kid ... and Ill be like wow! hep ... single mom and all!
and she will be like ... u gaadhi she got married years ago ... u never listen to a word i say

anyway ... its rolled round to weekend again
yesterday i had to stay at work late
we have half days on friday ... we work from 8 to 12 (8 - 6 for other days) but i had to stay late ... till 3pm
still atleast i got lots done in the solitude
people yell a lot at work here
and i cant concentrate

saw 3 cute movies on telly
she devil, pie in the sky and say anything
well, bits and pieces of 3 nice movies at least :)

now im back to my book (100yrs) and writing silly poetry
today i woke up from a bad dream
dreamt that munal had died ... then suddenly it became rahul then it became chatto and it was really sad & scary
called up them up but couldnt get a hold of any of them so i just woke up and drank some coffee
yuck ... 8 am on a saturday is so dreadfully early to be awake

for some reason i miss my rowing club in bristol
this time of a sat i wud be there
it wud be an ungodly hour of the morning
it was a bit outside the main town
had to take a bus then walk from the lock, down the river, to the club
the birds would all be up and gossiping in the trees
we wud be silent and sleepy eyed
and the river wud be just waking up, smoking with swirling mist
on the opp bank there was invariably a fisherman
and some ducks floated about in the river
once we got into the river we had to row up to the ford and then back again all the way to the lock and back again in endless repeats
ur not allowed to 'chitchat', the airs 'nippy' and everything is 'brilliant' and its a 'splendid' time we'd all have!
then we'd get out after ages and all troop into the bar upstairs for fried bacon and buns and tea and lots of gossip and fun
after which we would go home or go out for beers ...
it was great :)
