I Don't Like Mondays..
Well, I am venturing back into the workforce for 6 months. Have scored myself a contract. So things have come together. Even though it has only been 3 weeks since I left Oz, I feel like it has been a lot longer. With all of the sightseeing and different adventures, and having everything up in the air for a while it really has you live life to the max I think.
Yesterday I did the things I really wanted to do before I started work - including seeing the Rodin Exhibition which was fantastic - what an incredible skill. Saw the Thinking Man, which was great, but he also had a lot of other fantastic works.
Then off to the Globe Theatre which has ended it's season already which is unfortunate. So will have to wait until May to see the show, but got to see the theatre which is awesome. Very enthused about seeing a show there.
Also spent what I hope is the last night I will be in a Hostel - yay! (hope so anyway). The night before I had a lady get up during the night, go to the bathroom (no that's not the punchline) but then get back into bed, get up again (nooo that's not the punchline either), and turn on the lights and accuse me and the other girl in the room of stealing £100 from her. Luckily I had spoken to her earlier and flatly denied that either of us did anything.
Needless to say I got up early and got outta there after locking up my stuff in case she was still a little psychotic in the morning. But I saw her in the afternoon and she profusely apologised, saying she had had too many beers at the pub (you're telling me!) and that she had found the money. Actually I felt sorry for her because she was so embarrassed. I won't miss the little things like that.
So off to my share house for 6 weeks for a breather, and hopefully I will find something else in that time.
Tomorrow will be shop till I drop day for work clothes, ready for Monday, and off to Stonehenge and Bath for a bus tour on Sat. So still getting out there before it gets too cold (yes there is a chill in the air and it's not just my attitude :))
