Today I have been more proactive. Been for a 10 mile hike with the local ramblers group, even though weather is awful. Paid car tax, sorted out new postal redirect, and decided I will after all sit my final professional exams in 12 months time, did some food shopping.

Meant to be off to cinema tonight, but undecided as to whether I will attend alone as my friend cannot now come along.

Found out the WAW has postponed the start of her new job till May. Perhaps she is struggling after all, or perhaps she wishes to spend more time with the OM before she has to sit in a car for 3hrs each day or else stay away from home some evenings. She's redecorating the house too. Perhaps she will sell it and run away completely from the mess she's made. I know the OM won't follow her. He's all too tied up in this city, far too work focussed and afraid of moving to another region where his professional reputation would have to be started again from scratch. It's a tough world when you've got every job through manipulation and undoing your fly rather than the conventional job interview method and having a decent CV.

Tomorrow I'm on a long day on call at work, and on Friday I'm going up to Scotland for a long weekend in my house up there to check what remains to be done before the next tenants can be arranged. So busy busy.

And I'm still waiting for that ever so slow karma bus to stop nearby. Some eejit knocked the wing mirror off my car today.

Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
