My new job and cyclists take revenge.
Hi all,
Well, as Patrick has already said, I've got a job! YAY! I'll find out tomorrow if I start on the 24th or the 31st but either way, it's very exciting! It's a locum position at a private hospital in Cardiff in the outpatients department. I was very suprised at this, as all the agencies told us we wouldn't get outpatient work. I may be going shopping on Oxford Street to celebrate - nothing like spending your money before you make it :-) It will mean a long trip for Patrick to get to Gravesend and back twice a week (about 3 1/2 hours) but we already figured that might happen and he doesn't exactly want to stay in the arse end of England for the 4 days he's not working.
So anyway, I'd better explain the next part of my post - "Cyclists take revenge". I was innocently crossing the road a few days ago , minding my own business when a cyclist came out of bloody nowhere and ran me over, knocking me to tht ground! Seeing as a) there was plenty of room to get around me b) he was going very fast and didn't swerve or slow down and c) he didn't stop, I can only assume it was actually a deliberate hit. So my theory is that cyclists are getting sick of being hassled by cars and therefore have chosen to take out their frustration on poor unsuspecting pedestrians. BAH! - that's what I say to that, am very unimpressed!
We just went to the pub and had a BIG sunday roast lunch - beef with lots of veggies and big yorkshire puddings! YUMMO! Also we have discovered the joy of the ready made meals at Marks and Spencer (Tanya - you warned me this might happen!). Basically you just pop them in the oven or microwave for a bit and they're done! They're very tasty too, unlike dodgy frozen meals at home. While we're on the topic of food, we went to Selfridges (big department store) the other day to check out their food hall and gawk at the world's most expensive sandwich - £85! It's apparantly a Waygu beef burger with truffle mayonaise or something.
I'd better be off because it's a nice day (29 degrees) and I'm keen to laze about and drink some wine. Cheers to all of you that have been reading the blog, posting and sending emails.
