Holiday
Posted by: Rasher on 01 August 2006
I'll miss them like mad, but I put my wife & 3 children on a plane this morning. I've got a flight to catch them up on Friday afternoon, but tonight I'm going to work until around 8.00, get a curry to take home, get a beer from the fridge, turn on the lights and the TV, get on the sofa and veg out. No bathing the kids. No stories to read. No cooking to do. No staying out of the front room until f***ing Eastenders is over (I can't bear dramatised domestic violence). No makeover or property programmes. I'll watch the Syd Barrett documentary from last week and get pissed on cans of beer before going to the music room with a bottle of whisky and playing music really really loud all night (neighbours on holiday too
). I might even take tomorrow off to play all day on the X-Box.
Al Bundy can only dream of this.

I went home with the curry and grabbed a beer from the fridge and retired to the sofa and TV. I wouldn't normally eat a whole curry, we'd share it, rice & sag bahji, so I was stuffed before I finished it, then couldn't face anymore beer, so I had a coffee. When I came out of the living room, the whole house was in darkness, so I put on the hallway light a nd made my way to the music room where I had a couple of hours before going to bed around 12.30 to read my book.
I went to work this morning without even shaving - just picked up my clothes off the floor and headed for the door.
I feel like there is no purpose. It's horrible.
I have some buddies picking me up from the office tonight to go out, and tomorrow is booked too, thankfully.
Can't wait to get on that plane on Friday.
