an update - at last!!

Hello! It has been a few too many days since I have updated this thing. But, never fear, an update is here!!

Work this week has been boring. But I have one more week as a PA, then who knows... I am sick of temping. Yes, I have only done two placements, but I want a job where I can talk to people, get to know the people I am working with!! I have three job applications due in this week. One for the British Museum, one for somewhere in Richmond, and one for the Museum in Dockalnds. Wish me luck!!

So my weekend has been quite full. Friday night we had a work mate of Scott's over for dvds. It was nice to be social with someone other than flat mates etc. Saturday morning I cleaned the house as it was my turn. Scott helped me, which was great. It is always easier for two! Then Saturday afternoon we met Judy for coffee (she is mum's cousin we stayed with for a while). We hadn't seen her in 4 weeks or so, so it was great to catch up. From there (we met her in Covent Garden), we wandered all over the place, and ended up in China Town. I had been wanting to find it for ages, so I thought it was a good time. We had a nice meal at a buffet place. As cheap as we could find, which is sometimes tough in London!!

I wanted to do something spontaneous, so we wandered through the West End (where all the theatres were), trying to find something that started at 8pm. We ended up near Piccadilly Circus, at a theatre called the Criterion. They had a show on at 8pm, by a group called the Reduced Shakespeare Company. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a while! They basically combine a shortened version of the complete works of shakespeare and comedy.

Today was another busy day. We got up early and headed to Camden Town to go to the Jewish Museum. A very interesting place I tells ya. Then from there we headed back to the British Museum, as my course started today. It was basically a lecture/guided tour combination if that makes sense. Quite interesting, but tough on the feet for standing for 1.5 hours!!


And that is my life up til now!! Not all that exciting, but busy. It's back to work tomorrow. This week I have the three applications to put in. I will be registering with an employment agency that specialises in museums. Should be good.

Until next time people.... :-)
