Hello folks. I just got back from my aforementioned meeting to discuss some work experience. I think it went rather well. It was more an informal chat with the project manager and another volunteer and after they explained what it is that they do, we kicked around some ideas for what I could do for them and came up with several things - writing reports, proofreading and editing. Sounds ideal! I told them I needed something to put on the old CV to spice it up and show I have actual experience in some kind of writing. They were very supportive of that and willing to put some work my way. So I have to wait until the project manager comes back from her holiday, then she says she'll email me and work something out. Promising stuff :-)
On a different subject , the Olympic torch passed through my little corner of England this morning. I have a feeling of complete indifference to it. So many people turned out for it, and I can't really understand the point. Just down the road in the next town, they had a massive street party in the town centre. I've seen some pictures on Facebook and it was heaving with people. Quite pleased I didn't have to go there for work today, the roads would have been a nightmare! I quite like watching some of the Olympics on TV but I'm not excited about the torch relay. I didn't apply for tickets to anything either. Probably would have ended up with tickets to the bloody table tennis or something like that! I'd much rather just watch it at home anyway, London will be havoc during the games. We'll be in Cardiff during the opening weekend too, as we have booked a three night break with the gays.
Oooh it just thundered outside! Should I be typing still? I never know. It's not plugged into the mains, does that make a difference?! So ignorant!
Anyway, I'm so looking forward to Cardiff. No idea what we have planned but I'm sure it will rock. Also, BF and I have booked a trip to Edinburgh for Hogmanay :-) So f-ing excited about that one! We haven't got our street party tickets yet, but hope to book them by the weekend. It will be epic.I am Edinburgh-sick. Every time I see the National Express coach go by, I just want to get on it and go to Edinburgh! I don't know what it is about that place, you just can't help but love it. I've got plans for places I want to visit while we're there, so they had better be open! Think we'll have missed the Christmas market by the time we get there though, which is sad as I really liked that last time. I could just go to Edinburgh and stay there. I keep threatening to do that! BF wouldn't mind, he loves it there too. Maybe one day...
Anyway, must fly. I need to eBay stuff. Laters!
