Well, I braved the weekend with sandals and it was better than okay. It wasn’t as wet as it looked and Leeds was sunny and lovely all weekend. We had a lot of fun, watched loads of movies [Oceans 13*, Night at the Museum, My Super Ex-girlfriend and most of Stranger than Fiction†], had wonderful food [if too much!] and I got to try cocktails finally! I had a lovely tequila sunrise and I had another something sunrise too, I can’t remember the name, but it had black vodka, cranberry juice and another red liqueur over ice. Very tasty indeed! I’m definitely sold, I’m passing on all that beer and wine and heading for the cocktails.

* We had dinner in the hotel on Friday night and after we finished I needed a walk. It was a gorgeous evening and Horatio suggested that we go buy tickets to see Shrek III since we were out. We got to the cinema and it turned out that Oceans 13 was just started and I said I’d rather see that so off we went! I’m not normally spontaneous so it was so fun. The film was great and we didn’t get back to the hotel until midnight. Wonderful.

† We were watching Stranger than Fiction on Sunday before we checked out and we ran out of time. So I’ve got 25 minutes left to watch, I loved all that I did see, I’m not sure I’ve see Will Ferrell play a ‘serious’ role before. Excellent acting on all fronts and a superb plot.

Sunday evening was sort of crowded with calling my parents, mowing the lawn and getting ready for work so I had Weasel come meet me at the station so we could buy a little time together. I rabbited at her for ages then I asked about her weekend and she said that The Other Boy had arrived at 12 and by 2:30 she didn’t have a boyfriend. Sadly, it seems that he has realised that the polyamory thing doesn’t work for him and he cannot cope with the idea that Weasel will never be properly with him.

So Weasel and I have spent the last few days mooning about and feeling bereft [her more than me, but I'm surprised how strongly I felt it]. He was in our little group for over a year and it was just so sudden. He and Weasel are both going to do some serious thinking and see each other again in three weeks. We’ll see what happens, I just feel so sad. Love is such a rare and wonderful thing and I cannot understand someone giving it up.

Work has been crazy for the last few weeks and planning the Ice Cream Tour against drama has been difficult too. Just not my best week [or last few days?].
