On Valentine's day I got official notification that
androctonus and I were no longer an item. This made me rather sad, although it came as no surprise; I'd not seen her since July last year. One kinda gets the hint, y'know?
bonsaii is also fairly newly single, so she came over here last week for a break, on the principle that a trouble shared is a trouble halved, or something like that. We went to see the Mission and Sisters of Murphy at the Shepherd's Bush Empire; we saw
mr_flay being irrepressible in Dalston, along with
flavius_m and
djpsyche. We went off to see various relatives of hers, including a mini historical tour of St Albans with
slovobooks' long-lost daughter. Caitriona went on the London Eye; I went to a mate WINOLJ's birthday drinkie and ended up going to see the Alabama 3 in a small grungy pub in SE London, which is the sort of thing I ought to do far more often. I took her to the Claret and introduced her to Real Cider. It was, overall, a blinding extended weekend. (And not due to the cider, much as she liked it.)
