Birmingham Part 2

So I now have a place to livei n Birmingham - about a 20-30 minute walk for the city centre.
However I have yet to secure an Accounting Job - which kinda sucks biggish.

Anyway I keep walking around a lot and ringing the agencies and looking online with my crappy mobile internet, but there doesn't seem to be much about at the moment so I may end up doing some odd jobs just to bring in some cashflow.

On a light note I am off to Derry at the end of November which should be fun - and I love the Irish accent so it should be very kewl.

Enought for now.

Birmingham

Well I've been living in Birmingham now for the last 2 weeks on and off. Last weekend I went back to London to pick something up followed by a day down to Bournemouth to get my suitcase with my suit etc.
Saturday night I saw the production of Blood Brothers.
Birmingham has been good, but mainly just pottering around the place trying to find somewhere to live and work.

I've been out the Warwick Castle which wasn't much as there wasn't anything on on that day. Also been to the cadbury Factory which was very nice as I got some free chocolate to eat.

At the moment I'm up in Cardiff spending the weekend here. I looked around the city yesterday (Friday), today I walked out to Llandaff Catherdral and then walked down to the pier.

Head back to Birmingham on Monday morning.

Back in the Mother Coutry (England)

Back in England now and have been now for a week.
Spent 2 nights in London before heading down to Bournemouth. Bournemouth is nice and most likely a great place in summer to holiday by the beach and just sock up some sun and relaxation.
Walked around the city, then on Tuesday took a tour out to StoneHenge, Salisbury and New Forest.
Stonehenge is pretty cool and there weren't too many people there while I was there.
However it started to pour down and hail while we were there.

Followed by a longish trip to Salisbury because of road works. After which we went to New Forest and saw the native ponies and got to pat the ponies.

Thursday I caught a bus up to Bristol which took 4hrs. Bristol is ok, but just one of those places that I really don't feel like staying here more than my 4 nights. Heading to Birmingham on Monday to hopefully find a reasonably paid contracts and reasonable cheap accomodation.
