And now it's August..

It's my second day off since I left my job on Friday.

I have a lot of work to do, and after a lazy, unproductive day yesterday I sat down and and had a look through my notes and evaluate what needs doing! PHEW!! There's a massive reading list and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to buy all the books... and how I'm supposed to read everything before the 1st September!!

I'll get started properly on it all tomorrow and might drop an email to my training manager about the most important things that need doing before I start. I'm going to read through my Maths and English books and have a go at the pre-induction tasks... I guess any extra reading I have time to do is a bonus!

My other half moved back to the UK, to Bristol, two weeks ago. He's staying up the road with a friend and has just had an offer accepted on a house which is very exciting. It's great to have him close by!!

Last weekend was pretty busy. Friday was my last day at work so everyone came out for drinks. I was given some lovely gifts from everyone which was really touching!! Then on Saturday we went to the rugby in Cardiff for one of my (former) colleagues' birthday. It was a great atmosphere in the Millennium Stadium, drinking Brains, and trying to out-shout the Welsh (and the Scottish guy sitting next to me ;) ). Frankly, England played rubbish and really Wales weren't that great but their defence was much better than the English side. We then had a bit of a drama getting the bus back to Bristol but made it in the end!! Then we had a fab curry before going our separate ways!

This weekend we're going back home to Mum and Dad's - possibly for the last time before they move house! Very sad times. But will hopefully see some friends while there as well. Then Paris the weekend after which'll be a great break before getting started on my GTP!! Woooo!!
