Summer Holiday
I finished college weeks back technically, though I still had about 3 weeks of night school or so, so it didn't feel much like a holiday yet. For about a week after I was done ALL classes I still couldn't get into a relaxation mode where I could sit and do nothing, turn off my brain, INDULGE. It just wasn't happening. I kept feeling like I should be doing something, forgot something or just find something productive to do with my time. Finally I've gotten into the right frame of mind! Hooray!
Right now, I'm in Nottingham with James, for my summer vacation, or part of it anyway :) The weather is glorious and the food is excellent and the company isn't bad either... surprisingly. Due to James' redundancy our plans are all over the place, so it's a case of plan only a couple of days in advance. The company he's transferred to to be made redundant have told him as long as they find no work for him, then he's free after this Friday, however, because his contract doesn't officially terminate until the end of the month, they can call him in anytime between then and now to do shit for them, which really blows :( Doubt we'll get to Wales then...
Since I arrived on Friday I've forced myself to sit back and do bugger all but play games, eat crap and watch tv, it feels GOOOOD :p Depending on James' work schedule, I'll take a week/week and a half off if he's not working and we'll do some stuff, go to the movies, town, wildlife park, zoos, museums, visit folk if we can and then I'll start to work some more. My portfolio stuff is never ending and I really need to keep on top of it both traditional work and digital work.
This Friday we're off to Cambridge. For months now, James has had this Uni Reunion thing happening and though I think it's brilliant for him, I'm a little nervous to go and haven't yet made up my mind whether to or not. Liz, the woman organising it all, has said I'm absolutely more than welcome, but I've heard a LOT about the folk going and though they seem nice, are somewhat intimidating. Perhaps I'm being stupid, this could be a golden opportunity to glean some vital and interesting information about one James Osborne that I might not already know. Bah! to think months ago I was nervous at the prospect of spending a weekend with Kim (James' dad)! I guess we'll see. I'll talk to James about it and tell him how I feel, I'm sure it'll be fine :) I think the actually get together is on the Saturday and if my dates are right, the world cup final is on the Sunday? Could be beer and pizza for 20 folks :o
Anyhoo, I'm afraid there are no photos of yet because like I said, this is lazy time :P Once we actually start getting out and about I promise photos for once :P
