Weekend in review

[kingandy]

Quick entry.

Weekend was great; went to London and got cultured with the Phil. We visited the Tate Britain and then roamed London largely at random, wandering past Westminster Palace (BTW, they've done a marvellous job of reconstructing Big Ben after the recent incident) and Forbidden Planet. Enjoyed much conversation in cafes, parks and ice-cream shops.

I need more practice at sleeping in beds with other people^[1]; at the moment I just lie there, wide awake. It's like the night before Christmas. Luckily I was on the train so exhaustion wasn't an issue, but Saturday was slightly better than Friday anyway - I was slightly less conscious of being awake so I think I was probably drifting in and out. Still, could do better.

Message ends.

This is when he's already asleep, obviously. :P

I dunno ...

"Are you asleep?" is always a great way to deal with insomnia.

You get used to it. Eventually it gets to the point where you actually can't sleep at all unless a particular person is in the bed with you. This is why I often end up staying awake until 2 - 3 in the morning when Sarah is away on business.

Not much you can do to get used to it any quicker save lots and lots of practise. Of course, if the problem is that he snores all the time or steals all the duvet then that is a different matter. I have heard some people have that problem with people they sleep with. I never have but apparently Sarah is quite an expert on the topic of stopping people from snoring for some reason. I have no idea why. Elbows are a useful tool, I'm told... :)

I have to make the offer anyways :P

It gets easier. Does take a few months though, and it isn't easy to get used to in a long-distance relationship. Plus of course there's the dubious pleasure of finally falling asleep with them only to discover they're a terrible sheet-thief, and were only waiting for you to drop your guard...
