New house, new job

Hello!

So yes, as the title says, we are moving house - tomorrow morning! We have a cab booked, should cost about £18, so not too bad really. I can't remember what I have already written about the new place, but we will be sharing with another couple, and a single guy. I am looking forward to the move. The landlord's agent, the complete git, has managed to turn the process of us leaving, into a long drawn out process, with another one of our house mates involved. He has decided the seeing as though he is going on holidays tomorrow, and therefore cannot be there to sign the paperwork etc, he will get Nat to pick up the deposit cheque from him instead of him coming over. She apparently is not to give this to us until tomorrow when we leave. What are we going to do with the cheque? Cash it on a Saturday night? Hello? Grrrrrrrr......

Anyway, on a lighter note, I did a one day course today. Twas fab! It was called "The Archaeology of Islands". As the name suggests, it looked at islands in both the physical sense, as well as the ideological sense. There were 5 speakers, and they each outlined a case study froma different part of the world. There was Easter Island and the colonisation of the Pacific Ocean. Ireland and the artifical islands created in lakes and rivers, islands in Lake Victoria in Africa, And island off the coast of Scotland, and Cuba. I really enjoyed being back in a learning environment. I miss using my brain!! Sad but true. I will keep my eye out for more courses like these I think. Keep my brain active!

To the last bit of packing I think, then to bed! Toodles!

Hope the move goes/went well! At least you don't have a lot of stuff I guess. And that course sounds neat - it's cool that you're getting into that stuff. Take care!
