Sticky situation

So im a bit of a dilema. Having just returned for 3 months travel I feel as though I have pretty much got my depression under my control. I have a position waiting for me at my old work which is great cos it means I have an easy way to go back into earning immediately, however there is a problem. It was this job that started my depression again, and im pretty sure if I go back it will do again. What to do? If anyone has any advice im waiting with open ears.

Nothingness

Having nothing to do is a very strange thing. When you are busy at work, or you have lots of plans or even with just the normal stress of everyday life we look forward to having nothing to do. However when this nothingness occurs it can be very different to how you imagined. From my experience i look forward to having nothing to do and i enjoy maybe the first hour of having nothing to do. After a while i find myself trying to find things to do. Having nothing to do seems like a lonely place. I dont like the prospect of nothing. I want to have things to do it keeps me happy. What a strange life we live!

Rant over.

Food glorious food

orchiette alla pomodoro
So last night we went out for a lovely meal at the campsite. What with us having run out of gas and not really being able to cook other than bbq's (and believe me they get very boring after about 3) we decided to go with other people cooking for us. We had Bruschetta for starter, Ben had a capriciosa pizza and I had orchiette alla pomodoro. It was my course that made me decide to write this first post. Not only was the pasta delicious it was made better because it is a traditional speciality of the region of puglia. This made me think about all the specialities they have in Italy. Every region has a food speciality, usually more than one. It is really nice to have food grown, produced and eaten all in the same region. Its a shame as we dont have this in England really. Other than yorkshire puddings from yorkshire, lincolshire sausage from licolnshire and lancashire hotpot from, you guessed it lancashire.  It would be nice to be able to get locally produced specialities at home. Anyway, theres my first rambling.
