A question of time

Last night didn't really improve after I wrote that. Rikki tidied his room while I watched endless episodes of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe and ate apple crumble. We had another argument before bed. It hasn't been our week, has it?
It has to be said that Rikki's having a bit of a tough time at the moment; I'm not at liberty to elaborate, but I can say that my being in a dodgy mood isn't helping. I was telling Amy about it this afternoon, and she's sceptical. She says that something is wrong and I'm not to blame. Rikki says that he just needs some time. I say that things had better start improving soon, or I'll start doing things I really will regret.

There are two fundamental truths in my life: my relationships never run smoothly, and Amy is right 99% of the time. The two are often interlinked.
Amy never seems to have relationship problems, because she's far too sensible to make a mess of things. In addition to that, men fall at her feet (probably something to do with her blonde hair, blue eyes and extraordinarily long eyelashes). Michael, bless him, is devoted to her. Anyway, the point is that Amy spends more time than I would like hearing about my own extensive relationship problems. It sucks that she lives in Southampton for most of the year. I still have her Christmas card and sunglasses sitting on top of my telly.

Here we are in better times, a few hours before my first date with Rikki.
Things are going to be different this week. Oh wait, did I say that last week?

  2. OK, I glossed over the last days of James when I said you don't have relationship problems, but that seems to have scarred him far more than you ;)
