Bish's Precis
- no precis for you! this is short enough. Ba humbug!
So I last worked on 29 September. Good. Glad we got that awkwardness out of the way for when you next ask how I'm doing.
But the last couple of months have not been without activity.
First of all I was travelling through France, Belgium, Berlin and Prague. But you've got that email. Some of you havent finished reading it yet. Sorry about my verbosity.
Since then it's been solid job hunting, with a few interviews. The only major break in this was a weekend spent up in Birmingham with Pete Rees. It was madness, as expected. Pics are available on plugger69.bebo.com
Other stuff I've done... well, for one thing, I've gone to the gym quite a bit. My membership was prepaid, so it was something I could easily do without spending too much money.
I also watched a lot of movies on Sky. Have a look at the list at the end of this email.
Finally I've done a lot of planning of vacations. Specifically going to the Caribbean for the Cricket World Cup in late April, and also heading to Stockholm (and possibly Norway) to see Richie Somerville in late February.
But now there is light at the end of the tunnel. For those of you that don't know, I have a job! I'll be working at Havering (a borough in NE London), starting on 3 January. Its gonna be great to be earning pounds again!
But I didnt start this email so that noone would finish it. I wanted to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and fantastic 2007. For those of you not in the UK, I miss you heaps and look forward to firing up with you soon!
OK, I've gotta go. I'm out tonight, and then heading to Wales (very) early tomorrow morning for a few days over the break. I'm heading there with Heather and a few of her mates.
All the best, and Merry Christmas and Festivus!
