peterborough

Had a long weekend in Peterborough visiting our brother/brother-in-law.

sleeping on the ground is not the most comfortable, but for the rest was a great weekend.

new job?

about 2 weeks ago all internal staff got an email about an internal job openign coming up soon, as 'interim project coordinator'. I applied, and they have now offered me the position.
just need to read the contract, negotiate, and sign it, and i should be able to start in september, or so. dependant upon when we get a new person trained up for my current role.

More business trips

Tomorrow I am again going out on business. This time to a town near to Manchester.

Last week i was in Leeds for two days, but to Manchester it will only be one day.

more trips

Guess what, i get into the office this mornign, turns out a colleague is off sick.

I have to go to leeds today for a 2 day trip.

nice.

anyways seems like the client booked a great hotel there, but i will be missing my wife.

Business trips

Like i had said before Loads of business trips this month.

Turns out now I won't have to go to Prague on sunday. Client canceled it.

but now I have to go to Budapest a week later. we'll see how that goes.

on another note: got 8 days of non-married life left. ;-)

Dubai second time

Came back from Dubai yesterday morning. and am back at work now.

the trip itself was not so bad, but prefer to take another airline next time round.

anyways the hotel I had there was crap, loud music until about 2 am and very small room.

next time I'll make sure not to go to this hotel again.

trip after trip

Busy week this week, at least in the sense that I ahve to book trip after trip.

just today booked a trip to Prague, yesterday a trip to stockport. Lovely.

In a months time I will travel quite a big number of miles

nice week again

After a nice time for work in Dubai, it took a bit of time to get used to the different timezone, but no big worries.

yesterday Ewa and myself went to the registars office to get some of our paperwork for our wedding arranged. wend quite smooth, and turned out to be cheaper than originally expected.

Back from Dubai

Just came back from Dubai yesterday. Had to get up at 5:30 local time (2:30 British time) to catch the plane, so when i ultimately got back home at 17:00 British time, I was pretty much dead with exhaustion.
Anyways the stay over there was marvelous. Didn't have the best weather to start of with, due to a cyclone being in the area, but was beautiful countryside anyways.

At least now i know a bit more about the place for my next visit next week.

Last day in the office

or rather last day in the office this week.
Flying out tomorrow morning. flight leaves at 840. thus i have to get up at 5, and get the first tube to Heathrow.
then on the train to Heathrow, where i can check in quite early. and then wait a big hour before the flight leaves.

will be a long long flight.


the bad news: The weather will be bad whilst I'm there. Lots of thunderstorms and the such. Still the temperature will be in the upper thirties.

gorgeous weekend

Finally we had a gorgeous weekend again.

blue skies, lots of sun, and nice temperatures as well.

Lot of walking we did this weekend, and we found out new things about our neighborhood. Seem like we are living quite close to a little river. It's called 'New River'. Actually it is no longer so much of a river as it had been. It's been covered over with pavement for the most part, but the course of the river can still be followed, and there is a walking route along it now.

nice

Back at work

It feels good to be back at work.

Rainy bank holiday weekends encourage you to get back to nice dry warm desks again.

Typical Bank holiday weekend

Like usual we again have a rainy bank holiday weekend, not much to do outside, but to 'enjoy' RAIN.

hopefully it will get better soon.
