I thought it was about time I updated this blog, seeing as I finally uploaded all my pictures onto facebook.
So where were we? Oh yeah, I told you very quickly how Cambridge and Cheshunt were! Ok. I was originally booked for 2 weeks work in Cheshunt with a possibility of a third if we got on. I stayed for the third. The work was easy, the time off excellent and the two of us got on well, like a house on fire. I’ve been asked to go back, I just don’t know when yet. I think my contract will have to be renewed; 3 months’ work is almost up! Shite, is it really August already?!!
After Cheshunt, I went back to Harefield. I thought of going on a contiki tour of southern Ireland over my birthday but was told by my brother’s girlfriend that they had given up tickets for some motor GP thingy and that they ‘would’ be spending the day with me. I thought it sorta rude to then bugger off to southern Ireland…next time. I brought a laptop instead! An Acer Aspire 4810T. The important features I wanted were lightweight, DVD drive and lightweight! I also brought a internet mobile dongle thingy, and that is how I can chat to all you now!
While I was in Harefield I watched a couple movies at the cinema, got pissed off at some school kids who wouldn’t shut up during ‘transformers’ so I moved seats 5 minutes into the movie. I got pretty bored after awhile. I’m not used to doing nothing all day anymore…sad.
For my birthday, my brother and I went off to Chessington world of adventure, and rode rollercoaster’s all day. It was cool. I still didn’t understand the screaming part of it until a particularly nasty ride near the end…it was brilliant. Sadly I lost my sunglasses on the water ride, now I battle when there is sun glare; which there is a surprisingly large amount of the time. I guess all those clouds have to be good for something! There were also some animals at the park, which we had a quick peek at. I was amazed at how far the seals could swim with just one flip of their um, flippers. The tigers were cool too, but I felt wrong taking pictures of all the animals in their small cages. So I didn’t take a lot of pictures. I did manage to get a picture of a cute little meerkat though!
I’m now in Stafford, Staffordshire, a relatively small town, smaller than Cambridge bigger than Cheshunt. I’m getting on well with the dude here, and he’s already said I can come back! I get to spend most of my day surfing the net and watching movies. Lol, when I was travelling here I almost missed my train from Euston station, because of issues with the underground. And then when I did get here I had issues with the bus when I went into town the first time and ended up missing the stop, on the way back, and riding the bus for an hour! Oops:)
There are some lovely old buildings here which I’m waiting for a none-cloudy day to take pictures of, which might take awhile. Actually, I just looked out the window and I think today’s the day! The church is said to have been built on the remains of church that had been there since 1000 A.D. Now, that is old. Though I must say, it does look more like a fortress than a church from a distance!
I know this hasn’t been a particularly inspiring piece of writing, but I thought you would want to know what I had been up to! Especially since I think it’s been a month since my last post. Oops:) Anyhoo, I’m in Stafford for another week. Then I’m back in London for a week cos I’m going to a U2 concert on the 14th:) and then I’m back off to Cambridge for a week - to the same client as before. I will finally manage to get to the museum I wanted to go to but only found near the end of my stay there.
Toodles:)
