Aug. 9th, 2004 12:25 pmYesterday afternoon James phoned after work to ask if we wanted to go for a drive. It had been so hot all day so the though of getting out appealed so I agreed even though I wasn't looking my best. After all it wasn't like I was going to get out of the car right? So I went with the rattiest vest top on ever and hair that looked horrific. So we were in the car flying toward the beach when he stops to call the in-laws and ask if they want to come too. Of course they say yes and we had to stop and pick them up then went onto a pub on the beach. I got over looking like a scruff, I had no choice really and sat next to the sand drinking cold cola as the fog rolled in over the ocean. My niece came too so she was playing with Corey on the beach. It was funny to see, he obviously doesn't know how to play with someone so young and his face when she kept taking his spade was so funny *g* It was pretty cold by then so we jumped in the car again and ended further along the coast where we ate chips and watched the surfers, very cool. But I think what I loved most was after. We dropped the in-laws off and just drove. It was dark and cool and we ended on roads we've never tried before, just to see what was at the end you know? One road ended in the middle of this field and the trees made a tunnel above the car, it looked so beautiful in the dark with the beams hitting the trees.
It reminded me of how much I love cool weather. I'm not a summer person at all. The sun brings me out in spots and I hate being hot. I adore autumn, the crisp feel of cool air and trees with red leaves. Being in the car last night was a little like that, good music, windows down, Corey in the back, the dog in the boot, just perfect. It also showed me that a 7 seater car isn't such a strange choice after all considering how full our car was before the in-laws left *g*
It's bucketing down just now so I'm going to try and finish Jo's JC rage challenge. I just wish I'd been done on time, I feel so bad about being late but it shouldn't take that long, at least I hope so.
Talking of JC, I have to wish the boy a belated happy birthday.I think what I have more than anything for JC is admiration, he went out and did his own thing and had fun doing it. I love his music and the way he looks and the ADIDAS video just strengthened that love ;) There's much better birthday posts out there than mine, Candy did her usual kick ass job and I've seen wonderful posts by
digital_diva,
jchalo and some nice manips by
tallories. So go check those out for some pretty :)
Good grief, the rain is bouncing off the pavement. A perfect online day which is good as I need to do some important things.
Squeezing in a whine. Why on earth do people think I want to sit and listen to bitching for hours on end? Mam and Kay are driving me insane just now. Mam phoning to tell me over and over what a selfish bitch Kay is. Kayleigh coming down to say how mam's unreasonable and insane. *kicks something* Kay also told me how Busted, McFly and Darren Hayes are going to play at the Pride concert. Darren Hayes, man. I'm so jealous. I had to laugh though because she said she'd sent me pictures of Stuart Allan Jones from Canal Street. The though of her bumping into Vince and Stuart amuses me so much. It's like a joining of the real and tv universes. The whole thing has become a joke between me and her with many pictures promised of Stuart, she's also promised pictures of the poufs ( her words) which I probably will get. She's the kind of girl who wouldn't think a moment about taking pictures of people kissing. I have the best sister ever, even if she does drive me crazy sometimes *g*
Okay, I think I'm done. I should get ready really, but first I have a lovely bowl of noodles to eat for dinner. 19p, a bargain ;) But first, I did this meme yesterday and never posted it being I was out all last night. Gacked from a few people.

ETA: Because this post just isn't long enough. Why is it I've started to dream about Lance lately? I mean, Lance. Nothing wrong with him at all but marrying him and playing golf together is something that's never crossed my mind in the awake world.

Ooooh! More fic! And JC rage! Yay! *pompoms* <-- I made a verb! :-D
Squeezing in a whine. Why on earth do people think I want to sit and listen to bitching for hours on end?
Because you're a good friend and listener and people take advantage of that? *grumbles*
And if you read that you're as bored as I am.
Probably. ;-รพ

*gasp* Tis a disgrace ;) And playing golf? How positively boring! Don't you have better things to do with the man? hahaha
no subject
Date: 2004-08-09 06:31 am (UTC)I know! Okay, dreaming about Lance, that's fine. It's not like I'd kick him from my bed and we were married which was fun. But playing golf! That's not right.

Date: 2004-08-09 06:32 am (UTC)PS. I'm so much not a summer person lol Give me the Autumn any old time, the days getting shorter, the temperature going down, the leaves turning red and gold, ten times better than the lurid heat of the summer lol
no subject
Date: 2004-08-09 06:39 am (UTC)Man yes. I love the short days and cool temperature. Bring it on I say.
And how are you this wet day? Still full of good food and slashy company *g*
no subject
Date: 2004-08-09 09:12 am (UTC)lol I am good this wet day, it's only raining on and off here, and it's belssedly brought the temperature down a whole two degrees, so it's now 26 in the house rather than 28 lol I'm still full of good food, though sadly lacking in slashy company *g* seeing me Charlie tomorrow though, so I'm willing to not grumble *g*
Speaking of the rain, I should've have mentioned it lol it's coming down hard now lol

no subject
Date: 2004-08-09 09:41 am (UTC)Sounds magical... and I have to admit I am not much of a summer person either. I much prefer to be too cold than too hot! I like autumn too but what I love most are crisp, cold, sunny winter days and coming home to snuggle up in front of the open fire ^_^!
no subject
Date: 2004-08-09 02:06 pm (UTC)I totally agree with the winter thing too. We don't have an open fire but walking into a toasty house after a bracing walk is just as good.
