quietness

hello.

quietness in some places and situations can be a most excellent position to be in. the library is often a quiet place so that people can concentrate, to read or work. it can resemble a position of peace. i have not written a blog entry in almost a month, 4 weeks of not even quietness but more silence on the blogging front. maybe this can be seen as a good thing, i havent really thought about an answer but i am hear to now break the quiet and respond to the constant nagging of a blog entry to be written.

life has been busy in recent weeks. amongst the busyness i have been offered a new job, one that will hopefully help me in a career towards becoming a financial advisor or an ifa if you know the lingo. this means that i have 3 weeks left at lloyds and i can then leave with a smile and feel that i have given much to the company in the 2 years i have been there.

i am now in this inbetween period, the kind of feeling you get at half-time at a football match. not really knowing what to do for the short time before the second half. thoughts lie in what could have been in the first half and maybe at what should have been but also there is an excitement, an anticipation for what is to come. a sort of nervousness that bubbles away. anything could happen in the second half you think to yourself. your mind begins to wonder and go far beyond what is probably a reality, but which of course is still a possibility. sometimes you can listen to those around you, so many opinions, everyone has an opinion at a football match. some make good observations, some clearly didnt watch the first half properly. then just as your making some ground the team appears. it has begun.

england play tomorrow twice.
once in the football and once in the rugby.
tonight however i will eat meat and drink beer.
