I was going to make roast lamb for lunch today, but somehow the lamb turned out to be pork.
Yeah...it sort of freaked me too.
All I can put it down to is the fact that it was one of the 'emergency' joints that I have in the freezer and when its wrapped and then frozen its hard to tell.
I mean..it was the right shape for lamb....
So I'm just waiting for it to finish cooking before I stick the potato's on and do the rest of the veggie bits.
It smells gorgeous though.
*drool*
Anyway, here I am in the living room, watching some weird Disney cinderella themed movie with Jo, catching up on postsecret and stuff.
And thinking.
OH NO!!! She's not thinking again*eek*
Yes.
Yes I am.
I'm thinking about relationships mainly.
And pubs.
Weird combination?
Well, actually , no.
I think its because Pubs played such a big part in my bringing up, and so many of my memories [ good and bad ] are tied up with them.
And because after 10 years of being with Dave I've actually found a pub that I enjoy being in with him.
One that I'm perfectly comfortable spending time in on my own.
And one thats letting us spend time together in, doing all the things that we really ought to have done when we first met.
That's been one of the big problems in our relationship.
The fact that we met , I got pregnant, and we moved from not knowing much about each other to being in a heavy relationship almost immediately.
Ok, he didn't move in for a couple of years, but we both acted as if it was a pretty final relationship almost as soon as I told him that he was going to be a father.
At the time we were trying to keep things as light as we could but looking back i don't think we manged that very well.
i suppose when both of you are committed to bringing up a child together its hard to maintain that light touch.
However, here we are 10 years on, having dealt with a load of rubbish and I'm sure having still some more to deal with, but at a reasonably positive place in our lives.
And lo and behold, the local dive has been closed and down re-opened under new management and completely turned round in the space of 6 months.
And i really like the landlord and landlady.
And I'm getting better at pool because I'm actually playing.
Duh..yes I know ok...
But more to the point Dave and I have been out together just to have fun and hang out more than we have since we first met.
And its like we're dating .
I'd say dating again, but as I said before, we really didn't date at all when we met, so I guess plain old 'dating' covers it.
And I'm pretty happy about it.
In other news:-
I got to see one of my fave guys on wednesday and catch up with stuff .
Its been over a year since I last saw him and I'd forgotten just how easy to be with and daft he is.
Plus I got a mini tutorial on photoshopping and discovered that the reason i was having so much of a problem was because i was doing one tiny thing wrong.
So now I can go and sort out all the little things that need tweaking, and hopefully get to be more confident with all of that stuff too.
Christ, i have so much more stuff that i wanted to put in here, but i have to go and do some 'real' work so it'll just have to wait.
