My flatemates gone away until Friday and has been away most of the weekend. This is a good thing. Not because of anything to do with her, but because it gives me almost a week alone in the flat. With various things having gone on over the past few weeks or even months, its really nice to have time alone. The past few weekends with no plans and nothing going on have been a nice break from timetabled fixed events which have gone on so much over the past while. Having nothing that must be done (short of watching West Wing of course) at all is a nice feeling. A quote from a Meatloaf song springs to mind:

If I could find the words I would write it all down / If I could only find a voice I would speak.
