Spirited Adventurer

Ok some of you may have received a drunken email last night (Brendon mainly), so apologies for poor spelling and drunken emotion. Having a hang over on my birthday wasn't necessarily the plan, but hey you can't do much about it once it is done! Went out for drinks and dinner with my manager and one of her friends. Was a very good night, finished off by a cocktail of which I don't know the name but it tasted like mint slice but had me tipped over the edge of drunk by the time i got home. Must have had a 'sad' spirit in it, as I cried so much last night while typing - obviously needed to get some tears out.
Received some birthday calls and loved hearing from my nephews, one of which asked if he could have a cake for Aunty Ree (not likely buddy if I am not there to enjoy it!):)
Out again tonight (I think my theory is I want to drink my way through this birthday). But will have to watch it that I don't end up in tears again!Maybe the theme should be - turn 31 act like I'm 21 - actually maybe not.
And going to go shopping today for a big coat before I head off to Edinburgh tomorrow to see the sites and freeze my somethings off (I had no idea what to write here). And i am enjoying being able to have a day at home so far - even when I feel rusty. So Happy Birthday to me - and thanks to everyone who sent emails to me, and for those reading this and who haven't emailed me - you're slack!! :) Just joking - but no, you really are :)

Hello all,
Have been working a week and that has meant less emailing etc. A steep learning curve but I am really enjoying it and there is travel involved as well - heading to Edinburgh next week, and if I can swing it, go up on Sunday and spend some time looking around the city and then to work on Monday from there.
And it is my birthday, so I suppose I should have thought of that as a heading but there you go. Went to Oxford on the weekend. Spent time at my housemates family home. Enjoyed hanging out with his parents during the evening - lovely people, and I enjoyed the home cooking! Oxford is very stately with its emphasis on education but I did get to see a chalkboard that Einstein used and a camera that Laurence of Arabia used, and one that CS Lewis used as well - quite the photographer apparently. Once again great architecture and I am hanging out for a pay packet so I can buy some amazing stuff.
Going to try and stay around home this weekend (birthday and all) and go out with some Aussies I have become friends with. Maybe even find another place to live as I have to be out of here on 25th Nov. Once again things keep moving on and changing. I have moments of enjoying that and moments where I just want to have some certainty! Either way I am in an amazing country having fun so hey life's not bad at all.
Hope everyone is well there, and keep emailing me - love to hear what is happening back home. Have said goodbye to at least 2 people over here who are going to the Aussie summer - and i am extremely jealous. Daylight savings has finished here, so it is gettting dark and I must have been crazy to go winter to winter! Apart from that it is Guy Fawkes this weekend and while I keep saying they are letting crackers off for my birthday I am pretty sure the gig is up!
Anyway cheerio (that is english for goodbye!)
