It's strange how some things take priority and others don't - take my blog for instance, I haven't updated it since April! Maybe it's laziness or due to the fact my life has become excruciatingly boring...who knows?!
This time two years ago I was with a group of people I'd never met before travelling around Japan having the most amazing time and then last year Ria and I were getting our itinerary in order for our round the world travels so obviously compared with the previous two years it's very dull. But, that doesn't mean to say that nothing's happened - we've been back and forth to Fareham, applied for jobs left, right and centre with a few interviews along the way and then at the beginning of June I had a small operation - I like to call it 'the redistribution of fat'! Well, I thought it was going to be a small one, as in a day in hospital for the procedure and next day out - almost went according to plan. Unfortunately, I didn't realise I wouldn't be able to drive for a month, be almost bed bound for a few days and have a couple of infections with three holes bigger than my belly button appear above and below my belly button! And now, nearly two months on I still have tiny little holes that have almost healed - so much for a small op!
Of course there are a few upsides of being unemployed - I've met up with friends, improved my culinary skills and enjoyed spending nearly 24/7 with Ria - you'd think that after 10 months of doing that we'd be bored with each other, or have just the odd conversation but we know almost everything about each other and know what one-another think - mad or even sad I hear you say but for us it's perfect - all we need know are jobs and a house we can call our own.
Ria has been contemplating what she wants to do as a career and has concluded that teaching is it - it makes sense really. Me, well as per usual I've never known what I've wanted to do - way too many ideas and the odd epiphany but still have not committed to one career. Even if I did know I still wouldn't say it too loudly coz I'd feel pressured to do it. If all goes according to plan then who knows. I know I'm being somewhat elusive but that's just too bad!
Other than that we go to see Sister Act The Musical next week and hopefully Minehead within the next month. So in a nutshell all is well, family are healthy...ish and life is treating me well (there are worse things in life than unemployment!).
Til next time folks xx
