I went and looked through a really awesome house last night - the room I'd have is very small and painted bright orange (woohoo!) but would be comfortable enough and they have the internet on. The price is really really good, and since I've pretty much got a temp job (data entry, fingers crossed I'm waiting on a call to say it starts tomorrow)....all is looking bright today.
Except for the weather, of course. Though, I did see a patch of sun shining through earlier - for at least 5 whole minutes.
Honestly, the weather here isn't as bad as they make out, and I've had a great time in summer here so far. It's starting to get darker earlier, and colder in the mornings so I can tell that Autumn is well on it's way.
Someone told me the other day that it's not that this summer has been especially bad (as I had heard from a number of people, complaining), but a more normal English summer perhaps. Just that last year it was particularly brilliant - unexpectedly hot.
Writing to you from Marylebone Street (yes, another to cross off on the Monopoly Board!) at an Internet Cafe. I have cold called a couple of printers today as well, just in case they have anything opening up, or know of anything.
I've finally got my CV finished and looking good, after quite a bit of re-writing over the last 2 weeks. I'm hoping that my old work will send through some physical examples so I can get some kind of Portfolio working - I only have a few examples on the net and most places want to see actual examples. I do have a Hub Newspaper with me, so that's going to be pretty good evidence of my work -THANKS MUM!
Hi dear Kate,
ReplyDeletewe think & pray for you often.
I guess if you don't really have any furniture as such you will not need a very big room to stay in, so that is an advantage.
Orange Eh!!!
We trust that the temp job works out for you.
The weather here is getting warmer again & daylight started coming thru at 5.30 this morning, so I guess the roles are reversing.
We still need more rain. The Govt declared the whole of Tassie to be drout affected the other day, so all the farmers are entitled to some sort of assistance.
Good to read your Blog dear
