Okay, so I'm back in London after spending two days in Devon with my ex, Teresa. It was an educational experience. This is what I learned:

-- A 50-minute bus ride in London can actually take 100 minutes, causing you to miss a train;

-- Do not despair, another train will be there shortly. Hopefully run by the same company;

-- Once you arrive in Devon, at the English Riviera, sleeting rain and buffeting winds are to be expected. However, if you're with someone dear to you, you'll gladly walk three miles uphill in that weather, laughing the whole time;

-- Then again, once you get dry, you might realise that in her case "moving on" might mean "has completely forgotten everything of importance that ever happened between you two, including the one moment that you remembered as the most romantic in your entire life";

-- And you will spend time like you would on a holiday, going on walks around the counryside and being relaxed, but you'll also feel quite empty at the end of the day.

So that was this particular experience. Educational, but not entirely pleasant. Then again, I have so many femscars on my heart that I honestly don't think one more will matter in the long run.

Thankfully, one of Teresa's coworkers offered me a place to stay at in London over the next four nights, as I was suddenly left without accomodation after a previous arrangement fell through. So the trip proved to be essential in more ways than one! I'm now at the quite Christmassy North Pole Road in White City, and have just had a few pints with Susanne, and my boss, Neven, who's in town just randomly with his family.

It's good being back in London. Although the English countryside is still the prettiest in the world, bar none...

Sounds a bit like the ingredients of a 'road movie' to me. :)

Maybe you can find some 'closure' after your visit of the English Riviera.

Closure? I dearly hope so. Then again, these last five years have been so utterly unlucky for me in terms of relationships, I just hope there's an opening at the end of the tunnel too!

Thank you so much for caring.

BTW: Just saw V for Vendetta on its opening day at the London Imax, purportedly the largest screen in Europe. Walked out, saw that Big Ben was still there. Sighed a relief.

The movie is very good, almost great. Also, cathartic. I like cathartic movies. They're a bitch to write, but a joy to watch...

*hugs him tightly*

I'm so sorry women have treated you poorly. You are such an intelligent and articulate person. You deserve to be treated well.

Miss you.
