The Importance of Being Idle

Disco Hades!

So, Ronnie had Friday off and came down to spend it with me! Woohoo!
She got here late Thursday night, but was feeling a bit down 'cos Archie (her adorable little cat) is gonna have to have all his teeth taken out. I ran her a hot bath, (almost!) cooked dinner, and we chatted and she relaxed and all was good. Then we read some Harry Potter and crashed for the night.
Friday we went on a road trip! We'd originally planned to go to the seaside but the weather was a bit rubbish, so we though we'd leave it. First I (apparently!) had to learn some basic self defence moves (a few blocks and stuff, although she cheats and tickles all the time!) and then off we went! We ended up at a huge garden centre kinda thing, with outlet shops (where we spent loads of money! hehe) and a lot of different style gardens to go and look round. I think it's safe to say we both liked the Zen garden best - it was just amazingly peaceful and tranquil, you didn't even notice noises that would drive you crazy the instant you passed out of the gate! It was really cool. Then on the way home we took a trip to see the village she lived in just after I first got to now her, and it's really gorgeous. To be honest, it's the sort of village I'd love to live in now if we could. And although we couldn't go into Ronnie's house 'cos obviously somebody else lives there, it's in a totally gorgeous place, nestling right under the local abbey. Lovely place indeed, made me sad that I didn't visit her before. Might've saved both of us a lot of trouble too, if you think about it!
Friday night we were possessed with the spirit of clubbing and were absolutely fucking determined to get down to the Soundhaus and make a night of it. 'Cos we were intending to drink fairly heavily we were gonna walk into town again like we did last week, but almost immediately our feet were killing us! Nonetheless, despite passing many pubs we persisted on, Ronnie even taking her boots off and walking in her socks! Of course, this being Northampton there was broken glass all over the place, so every couple of hundred yards she'd get a brief piggy-back till it was safe for her to walk again (although oddly she kept spanking me and shouting "Faster! Faster!" as though I was gonna carry her ALL the way...). Eventually we were in sight of the club, we'd made it with ten minutes before you had to pay for entry when... the zip on Ronnie's knee-high boots broke! Try as we might we couldn't fix the damn thing, and so with a mere fifty yards to go we had to abandon our quest and hobble for home. We weren't gonna sodding walk though, so we went to the taxi rank to get a cab, only to see half a dozen of them pull off and leave us stranded and alone! Luckily we didn't have to wait long before another taxi turned up, and we had a very nice ride home with a nice chatty man who even gave us his card, should we ever need a cab again.
To tell the truth, we'd have been no good for dancing anyway: by the time we'd got home we were hobbling about like an old couple with dodgy hips and we just collapsed on the sofa, had a drink and dipped various bits of fruit in melted chocolate until we were tired and went to bed for a well deserved rest!
Today's been fun too, although all we did was potter round the shops (there was a continental food market on up the Centre, that was fun, lots of things to try and taste!) and then Ronnie had to head for home to make sure young Archie was okay.
To tell you the truth the house just seemed empty and way too quiet once she'd gone, so I had to go out for a walk (wearing comfy trainers!) down the park, just to get away from it. Everything seems okay now I'm back again, it's just... I suppose I like her being her, and I want this to be her home y'know? It seems empty without her.
Don't be thinkin' that I'm depressed though, far from it, I'm as happy as a boy can be (well almost, I'd be happier if we lived together [or were married!], in a big house and we had a ton of money), it's just that my little flat seems awful big this evening!
