She is in a dry dock in Bristol having been rescued from the Atlantic Ocean around the Falkland Islands and towed back to Bristol as a wreck. ...

Feb 13, 2007 - First month in London & Bath (09/02-13/02)

The first few months in London have been reasonably uneventful with both of us spending a lot of time applying for jobs, going and seeing extraordinarily annoying recruitment consultants aka 'used car salesmans' and just learning how to get around the place.The first few months in London have been reasonably uneventful with both of us spending a lot of time applying for jobs, going and seeing extraordinarily annoying recruitment consultants aka 'used car salesmans' and just learning how to get around the place....

Nov 1, 2006 - Back in Bath... The Domestic Stuff.

Since I got back to Bath I've been busy regrouping, working on mountains of reading and celebrating Halloween. George took me out for Mexican food in Bristol (a couple of towns over) on the Sunday night we got back, and it was definitely nice to get out and see a different part of the local area. ... Plus, I'm always looking for spicy food around here.Since I got back to Bath I've been busy regrouping, working on mountains of reading and celebrating Halloween.
