I am sitting in the call centre of my museum. Yes, we all thought that I had left, but I am doing the occasional day here at the moment to cover people who decide to call in sick/dead/whatever. I don't mind doing the odd day. It gives me a chance to catch up on things on the internet (if anything actually happened on there of course!!!) if we are not too busy. Today I was reasonably busy. We had lots of labels to stick on envelopes. The new schools brochure will be going out shortly for the new school year (which starts in Sept.).

Other than that, things are going well with me. I should be starting my job (the one I already do) on the 5th June. Well, actually on the 7th of June, as I have booked the 5th and 6th off as holidays anyway. We will be going to our friends' wedding. Sarah and Jake are getting hitched in Cambridge then the reception is in a small town not too far from there. We are staying the night in yet another town, as the village where the reception is has no accommodation. So I arranged to hire a car, so we could take advantage of being in the countryside and actually see some of it. Both Scott and I have taken the Monday and Tuesday off work, so we have a lovely 4 day weekend. I arranged to swap my Aussie licence for a UK one, thinking that they would do it on the spot, but that is not the case. I have to wait 3 WEEKS!!! Not happy, Jan. But I have not cancelled the car. I will leave that til the very very last minute. I have until 24 hours before then to see if my licence arrives. The guy beside me at the licence office said his friend's licence took only a week, so there is hope. Murphy's Law would be that my licence will be waiting for me when we get back from the wedding!! We'll see.

The flat is really great. Scott and I sat in the garden for a while after getting home from work. The weather was getting a bit cool, but the garden is really private. I had spent an hour sitting in a park near work with my friend from work, Isa. We were soaking up some sun. It is a lovely park, completely surrounded by tall office buildings, but peaceful and the same time. In summer here everybody goes out in the sun, to absorb as much vitamin d as they can before it disappears again!!

In other news, we get a new cooker tomorrow, and a new timer for our boiler. Very exciting - not. :-)

So the plans for this weekend are to wait around while various workpeople install shiny new things in my kitchen. Then what we do after that depends on the time and the weather. Scott has to work on Sunday and Monday I think (Monday is a bank holiday) and I am working on Monday in the call centre again. So on Sunday I think I shall go somewhere nice with Isa. Perhaps to Greenwich. I love Greenwich, it's bustling and interesting and there are always people around. They have a great market too. So, depending on ye olde finances... Regardless of what we do, I am looking forward to three weekends off work in a row!!
