I got the job as projectionist at the new AMC cinema in Fiveways. I’m actually quite looking forward to it. I start on the 6th October and I have to go up to Manchester at some point for training. This week has been one of those annoying “registration” affairs. I had to go into Nottingham… Read More »

Well, I’m about to start back at uni. It’s going to be quite weird, I think. This week is just admin rubbish, next week lectures. I had an interview with AMC Theatres last week for a job as a projectionist, which I think could be very cool. I was shown around the projection rooms, which… Read More »

My arms hurt. I keep hitting Capslock instead of shift and my hands can’t grip anything. I just carried a 21kg TV back from Currys to the flat. A distance of just under a kilometre, according to “map24.com”:http://www.map24.com/ but it felt like miles. I hurt. That is all.

I’ve been generally faffing the last week. Actually, it’s been quite a busy week, thinking about it. Last weekend seems a long time ago. On monday we had cable installed. I have spent quite a lot of time playing with stuff this week to make stuff work on the network. I think I’ll write that… Read More »

The Telewest men arrived this morning at 10.10 (they said they’d be coming between 10am and 2pm, so not bad at all) and did their thing. I asked for them to install the Cable Modem on the Ethernet port, which they did. Then, after they left I set about trying to make it work with… Read More »

A lot has happened since my last post. I’ll try to be reasonably brief… We did eventually move into our flat reasonably smoothly. We hired a pretty big Luton van (it had a tail-lift and everything, fun!) which I drove. We picked it up at 8am, drove home, and then it was all hands on… Read More »

Well, what a palaver. We had a nice holiday in Anglesey. Relaxing, but we managed to fit in some fun/interesting stuff too. In brief, went to a Roman Fort, a slate museum, a castle and a museum of childhood. Beached a bit and climbed Snowdon. We also got a bit of an earth-shattering call from… Read More »

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming! Looking forward to holiday time. We’re going up to Anglesey on Friday and staying for 9 days. We’re camping “here”:http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=260660&Y=378750&A=Y&Z=3 (I hope 🙂 Hopefully the weather will be nice so we can enjoy the beaches. Had a totally knackering day on Saturday. Got up early and drove down to… Read More »

Well, what a wonderful birthday. We drove up to Birmingham on Monday night. We found the hotel without incident and it was quite adequate. Quite a sizeable room, and we went out for a nice meal at and watched You Only Live Twice On Tuesday morning we got up at 06:05, I felt horribly sick… Read More »

Well, the plan for becoming a bus driver has progressed one stage further. I have an interview with Travel West Midlands. Typically, it’s on my birthday (5th August for anyone who might have forgotten 😉 I have to be there for 8.30am. I have to do a written test, driving assessment, interview and medical questionnaire.… Read More »
