New Year, New Journal Entry...
Ooh look, it's a new year, time for a new LJ entry. One a year isn't bad?
So what... I've moved to Swindon, home of many roundabouts. Kinda dull, after three months I still haven't got off my as.s and actually met anyone. But nice to be living with Pip :)
New work place is nice - boss pays a bit more attention to what I'm doing which has both good and bad points. Commute is long - walk.train.bike takes about 1 hr 30... but at least I'm getting fit. Thus the inspiration for Learning To Drive. So I have my first lesson in ~10 years on Saturday (after I failed my test when I was 17).
Got thesis corrections back from my supervisor finally. Lots of stuff, but nothing too major. In general he seems quite happy with it.
I'm on the fourth book in the Wheel of Time epic - "Epic in every sense" as the blurb on the back says. I actually think it's one of the worst books I've ever read, and this one is almost 1000 pages long... but should be about half that. The characterisation is attrocious, the plot predictable and slooowwww... I keep saying I won't bother with the next one but then end up reading it anyway. And now I've read the first four I have to keep going? Mixing it with a history book on the train.
We have a vague date for the wedding, September 8th, but we want to buy a house before then so we haven't really confirmed anything yet. May take a while before we do.
So... life continues to pootle along...
