The Life and Times of Me

So, two weeks have been and gone at work. I am now in the Friday warm down.

Ipswich is small and quiet but I am glad to say they have a women’s cricket team, which I have sort of joined and an arts Cinema but they don’t have as interesting collection as the DCA in Dundee.

Work is ok, but a bit slow, as you can imagine, I have lots of catching up to do and therefore lots of reading. I have however produced some documents although they are safely stored away as they aren’t ready for others to see.

I am permanently tired at the moment, who would have thought sitting behind a desk is such hard work.

I am living with a very nice guide DC and as you might image I have been roped into guides, but what better way is there of getting involved in your local community and making new friends.

I have found a more permanent place to live and I hopefully will be moving in there in a week or so. Nice thing about it is that because it is someone’s house, I don’t need to worry about bring cooking equipment etc with me as I did in Dundee. I just have to borrow the parents car so that I can bring some of my junk over (my sewing machine is coming amongst other things so I can get creative).

It is very odd not being in Dundee. Suffolk has very few Northern Irish or Scottish Accents for a start (I never thought I would miss either of these). The other thing is that everyone seems to have a sort of quasi London accent. No stereotypical Suffolk accents to be heard anywhere!

I am off to play cricket tonight, Environment and Transport vs. Archaeology. 15 overs with 8 balls in the overs… why not just 20 overs with 6 balls in an over, makes scoring much simpler.

I had my first pay slip thingy today, so exciting, but I have to wait for next week to be paid!

Last weekend I went to St Albans for a PARTY! There was over 100 people there, it was a bit over whelming for my poor head! But it was a good w/e and a good party.

Those of you off to Eurojam, good luck! I will go and buy the CD tomorrow (I’m assuming it is out already). Also if people want to escape at any point let me know, I may have a permanent address and so people can come and shower etc.
