Friday night

[westendlass]

Well, lying here trying to cool down on a Friday night, watching the dog watching everyone else through the the window, I'm struck by the thought that I've become the most boring person on the planet. Where did my youth filled with derring do go ? These days, the most I aspire to is a lie in when I can get one and a few beers at the weekend. Gone are the days of backpacking in France and taking (little) risks with my mates doing silly things. I was learning to shoot a twelve bore shotgun eighteen months ago. I think maybe ill take it up once again. I need to recharge the old grey matter and kick start my life again. Boredom creeps in when your least expecting it!

Don't let boredom snare yeh westendlass, accept times n tastes change oer time n lifes all about choices,

right now I would welcome some boredom...a bit of mundane would do me just fine.

You don't always have to be on the go...sometimes just 'being' is good...a bit like...they also serve who only stand and wait

Thanks for that Cashman and Margaret. I know life is what you make it and that I'm fortunate in a lot of ways. I suppose taking a step back and reassessing things, viewing things from a different angle might give me the kick up the bum that I need. Think I may be undergoing a 'mid life crisis. I shall, henceforth, determine to get back to the overly laid back person that everyone else says needs a kick up the bum!
