Absences

At the moment my parents and little brother are on holiday with the caravan leaving Lizzie and me alone in the house. The fact that there is almost nothing to eat in the fridge is annoying though, of course, both of us can cook (to a certain extent) and there is a lot in the freezer, it's almost as though a horn of plenty exploded in there or something. Still, last night I was thoroughly annoyed at the lack of anything vegetable in the fridge, all I managed to find were tomatoes (we're overrun with them) potatoes and onions. I did have enough skill to whip something up involving those three and some pasta, but seriously, I can't eat pasta every day.

Another of the absences in my life at the moment is, of course, Mark. Though he's contactable at any time and we spend a ridiculous amount of time talking to each other on the web, he's not here. Still, apparently there are twenty-four days until his next visit, that's what? Three weeks? But the days already drag compared to when I was in Malta. He is probably the absence I feel the most at the moment. How does one go from being constantly in the other's arms to not having any physical contact?

In other news, one of my fish seems to have vanished while I was away. The last remaining guppy Magikarp, is no longer there it seems and now all I have left is the same fish that were in the biorb and the loaches I bought for the guppy tank.

Today another of the absences that I have been feeling, more and more lately, gets filled. Hayley is due to alight on my doorstep, and we have the whole house to ourselves because Lizzie is set to go out. I would say we could have a party, but with just me and Hayley we'd probably be better off watching the Rom Coms! :D

The sun is also no longer present in my life (at least for the moment) but that's a good absence, especially after at least three weeks of solid sun. The rain and wind are a welcome change to say the least.

Anyway, that's it for now, have fun.
