Boredom

The problem with being bored is that really I have no excuse for it.  I have books to read, I have knitting, I have a box ful of craft stuff, paper, coloured pencils, a haven of beautiful mountains and forests outside my front door.
But no real friends here to just go and have a laugh with. Just me and my cat.
The highlight of my day is when my ex contacts me, because then I have someone to talk to and a reason to leave the apartment.
I don't feel especially sad at the moment, just a bit lonely. Very lonely. I tried calling my best friend in the UK, but she is loved up with a new boyfriend at the moment so doesn't have much time for me.  I understand that, I guess I would be the same. I tried SMSing my "friends" here to go out but they area all too busy or don't answer.  So it's not as if I haven't tried to make contact with people.
My sister emailed me to say she was pleased I am going back to the UK, but totally opposed to the ECT proposition.
Meh.

Mundane life

Does anyone else get those days when the mudanity and boringness of life is overwhelming? Or times when the noise, ANY noise just gets on your nerves? Well, i'm having one of them. Tried to distract myself with obsessively solving telegraph crossword clues but ended up thinking about sitting with my ex ad filling them in. Aaaaarrrrggggghhhh. Is there no rest at all? Bad week(life/world etc.)
