Moving

In my desperation over my current employment situation, mum came up with a totally unexpected, and much appreciated, act of kindness. I now have the funding I need to start searching for another job, without worrying about the financial implications of leaving my current one.

First stop, buy a suit, and more importantly, convince my co-workers that I'm only attempting to smarten myself up.

Er, yeah… This could be more difficult than I thought.

Changes

Since the Easter break, I've noticed two changes in my journey to work.

Firstly, the annoying on-train announcements have reduced to those identifying the train and next station. Apparently South West Trains eradicated their problem with beggars over the Easter weekend, no longer see unattended articles as an issue and plan to do no more weekend engineering work. If it weren't for the other passengers, my journey would be incredibly peaceful.

Secondly, since they did works on the track over the weekend, the stretch between Clapham Junction and Vauxhall has become much more bumpy. A problem when this tends to be where you do your mascara!

Barbequing in the snow and a diamond ring.

Saturday saw Y’s birthday party. We all trekked down to his mum’s house in Kent to barbeque food in the freezing cold and generally eat too much. True to the forecast, it snowed, but instead of sending us running inside, we were huddled round the barbeque enjoying it’s warmth. Unfortunately, though, it didn’t settle, and just stayed cold, even when we’d long since gone inside.


Yesterday we drove up past Birmingham, to visit nan. We started off in the snow, which gradually gave way to greyness, and then sunshine. On the way home, TB decided that he absolutely loved Sherl Crow’s song, diamond ring. After singing along once, we had to listen to the song on repeat from the M4 back to Wimbledon so the boy could sing along, and Y could screech. But it was so cute you couldn’t hold it against them. Although I may never want to hear the song again.
