Italian food, Bike Riding, Birthdays, Music

The title of this post pretty much sums up the last few days in Sara world. Dear friends invited me to an Italian themed meal at their house on Friday evening; Anti pasti, home made spinach and ricotta ravioli and Tirammisu downed with copious amount of Italian wine..a truly delightful evening in the company of lovely people..I then cycled over to A's at midnight in the cool but close, early summer midnight air..Was wonderful to cycle at night but a bit daunting to cycle through a semi industrial yet nature reserve area, has great cycle lanes all the way close to where A lives though but as a lone woman, with noone around and an enclosed space, felt a little eerie at times - my legs cycled as fast as they could but weirdly, the place felt sort of nice and yet spooky at the same time..the cycle lanes are lit really well though and there was only sight of one more human being in this area, a lone workman on his to way to his night shift work I assume.

Spent the next day with A being lazy and having a sweet, funny and happy time.I like these moments with him, our energy is good together and luckily, he's almost through his finals to his qualification.

I returned home at 4.30pm and hurried myself ready for my friend's 30th birthday at the lovely Kayal restaurant in Nottingham; south east asian food - very delicious but didn't/don't like the breads - I'm a old stickler of trad nan breads of the Pakistani variety! Ended up in a club and was going to visit A again but things went a bit pear shaped due to missing calls and then connecting for me to be already back at home! Shame to miss each other really but still, had a sweet late night chat with him.

Today, I'm taking things easy. Been listening to an old Moby CD - Hotel.. Really liking some of the tunes and love Laura Dawn's voice on this CD. I love the lyrics too, to the track Slipping Away - really melancholic but at the same time positive and full of hope...


All that we needed was right
The fresh hold is breaking tonight

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I need and I never could say
Hold on people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and like
I know how it feels to meant
Oh and we leave here, the seas

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I need and I never could say
Hold on people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

So long
So long

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I need and I never could say
Hold on to people that slipping away
