I need a break! Like a proper one!
Couple of weekends away was in Blackpool with the guys. Was a lot of fun, and got to experience a new place. Eye candy was a little lacklusture! Mostly 40 year olds.... Did see Hannah Jones who does some amazing vocals and cover on Queer as Folk!
Work is going well, started the year in a new dept and getting into the grove of things now. Not my ideal dept, but it's only a 4 month placement and it's giving me a lot of experience! Also been moving a lot with it, last Monday / Tuesday I was in Leeds for a training course and met up with my sisters old friend from school! Tuesday / Wednesday I was in a conference at Warwick, learning how to run a "Facilitated Workshop". Kinda like a debate, was quite fun. Am worried that now I'm going to have to run one for the office in the next 3 months....
Friday a bunch of cavers went to a steakhouse!! Gorgeous food and great company, what more can one ask from a meal! We then took the cavers to York's gay friendly night. The Waggon & Horses runs a night called "Toxic" where Angel Delight DJ's away and does a little cabaret. The caving girls loved it immediately. They danced and drank and had a good time. The guys were a little more cautious, but after drink, they joined in the merriment. Some very dodgy photos were taken, I'll put some up here soon.
Saturday was in Manchester and walked down Canal Street. Was really cool. Shame we didn't stay in any bars, but I think the guys I was with had been subjected to enough gayness the day before!
In the evening was BEN FOLDS!!!! Third time I've seen him in Manchester. He was amazing, again! Holly got on my shoulders during one of the songs to see his amazing hands play the piano. She got told off... But amazing! Really good crowd, and Ben knows how to work the crowd!
Sunday bought a bicycle. Know when it comes to specs, the most I do is Grey.... Will add a photo soon too. But riding to work is great. Takes me 25 mins (compared to one hour bus) and I feel energised when I get to work!!! Also help me get fit! Yay!
Anyways, apart from all this have been feeling a little run down but it's been picking up! Mostly due to feeling very single at the moment...
Anyways, I promise to post more often and in smaller chunks!!!
