Firstly, events&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nothing really happened last week, so I&#8217;ll skip that.<\/p>\n<p>Friday evening saw me driving off to Yateley to visit Rachel, Graham and<br \/>\nlittle Chris bearing gifts of iRacers for one and all. I arrived just as<br \/>\nChris was going to bed, so gave him a goodnight hug. The evening progressed<br \/>\nin a civilised manner finished off with a nice kitchen table chat, similar<br \/>\nto those I used to enjoy during student days.. It was something I really<br \/>\nmiss.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday meant sharing Rachel and Graham&#8217;s busy life with lots of tooings<br \/>\nand frowing in the morning followed by much visitations by various people,<br \/>\nincluding Bob &amp; Jos (m00nunit), a baby, and the baby&#8217;s mother, but not<br \/>\nalways at the same time. A quick visit to Fiona&#8217;s new house in the event<br \/>\nhappened as well. To be sure, Rachel is the social self-help nexus of the<br \/>\nwhole area&#8230; and she wishes that she wasn&#8217;t anymore. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the iRacers went down very well with Bob, Jos, Graham, Rachel, the baby&#8217;s<br \/>\nmother, oh and Chris too. T&#8217;was a pitty that the one I gave to Rachel had<br \/>\na dodgy controller and a car which wouldn&#8217;t turn left (More of that later).<br \/>\nSo I gave Rachel my iRacer as a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday started quietly for me, as the Hartland family went to church, returning<br \/>\nat about 11am. Lunch ensued as did more visitations by people. I finally<br \/>\nleft at about 8pm.<\/p>\n<p>I must thank Rachel and Graham for a fun and busy weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that pretty well brings us to today. Which is a work day.. a pretty<br \/>\nmuch normal one at that. However, this evening is going to be pretty busy.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve got to do my weekly shopping as I didn&#8217;t get to do it at the weekend,<br \/>\ntake the iRacer back to Yous&#8217;R&#8217;Us and see if I can get it replaced and also<br \/>\ntake a Christmas card to a friend who&#8217;s address I don&#8217;t know but I do know<br \/>\nwhere they live. Oh, and I&#8217;ve got to feed myself at some point as well.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, other matters&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>For the last week or so I&#8217;ve been going through one of my phases of being<br \/>\nreally tense and not being able to rest. I have no idea why I have these<br \/>\nphases and they&#8217;re dead annoying. I feel really on edge, waking with a start<br \/>\nin the night with the slightest sound and just feeling really wound up. Maybe<br \/>\nI just need a holiday.
