Bank holiday Monday

It is a bank holiday Monday, so the last day of a three days weekend. We are not going anywhere, or at least not anywhere far. Going out of town was something my wife and I did yesterday and the day before. Watching BBC news, it was a wise decision: public transport is supposed to be very messy right now: trains are delayed and many undeground lines in London are closed/messed up because of works on the system. Travelling can easily become a nightmare on holidays, that's why I try to travel out of season as much as I can. For three days weekend, discovering the little nowheres that are nearby is in order. And reading. Oh, and blogging.

A circle of friends

In two weeks time, I will start my acting class again. It will be about time: I am counting the days. I noticed tonight that I did not get in contact with any of my acting acquaintances (I call them acquaintances as they are not friends yet) since our dinner in January. I tried to call one of them tonight, the guy who played the father of my "fiancée" in A Marriage Proposal. I didn't get through. Oh well, it is difficult to stop being a hermit. Acting provides me with the only proper social life I have.

I find it a bit sad, we gather once and we promise to meet again, to have another evening like this, that we should do it more often, etc. Then nothing happens. It is a difficult thing to develop, friendship, it can also be even harder to maintain. I haven't made friends easily since my students years and I don't think I ever made friends among my colleagues, at any job I had, even the ones I loved. Back in Liverpool, I got along well with some housemate, I developed friendship with them, but with my colleagues, never. Nothing lasting anyway: during my last school job I had very good reports with my colleagues and I left on very good terms with them, but we never met once after I left. My social circle, I make it around like minded people, people who share the same enthusiasm about something. In a way, I never ceased to be a student at heart.

Passer la journée en ermite

Après avoir marché dans Londres toute la journée hier, après avoir passé quelques heures en train et en métro, je suis un peu raqué, alors je vais passer la journée à l'intérieur. D'autant plus qu'il fait un temps très gris dehors. Comme au temps de mes études, je suis un peu ermite. Ce qui n'aide pas pour le blogue: difficile de l'entretenir en n'ayant rien de notable à faire.

J'ai remarqué que je publiais surtout des billets en anglais ces temps-ci. Je vais essayer de corriger ça aussi.
