Week's Ending 26th April & 3rd May
Monday 20th April:
The start of an eventfully week. Started with working during the day, then in the evening as I was getting my lunch ready for the next day I sliced part of the top off my finger. This ended up resulting in me catching a taxi to the hospital because it wouldn't stop bleeding after an hour or so. Got berrated at the hospital by the nurse for not being registered with a doctor over here in the UK.
Tuesday 21st April:
Work
Wednesday 22nd April:
Work, followed by a trip to the NHS walk-in centre to get the dressing on my finger changed and my finger looked at - Doctor was ok, althought a little abrupt - probably because I rocked up after they had closed the reception, but she still squeezed me in to get the finger looked at and dressing changed - she also partially berrated me for not having a doctor in the UK.
Thursday 23rd April:
Work
Friday 24th April:
Work, then followed be another trip to the NHS walk-in to get the dressing changed again and finger looked at - much niced doctor this time. Also had a call from the agent who put me forward for the role with BAE up in Scotland with the bad news that I didn't get through but no-one else did either as the manager now has rehashed the requirement specs and want's someone with a prior practice background/experience. Followed that by a night spent at the local and a call with my mum and dad.
Saturday 25th April:
Usual Saturday thing, went food shopping followed by a day spent at the hostel uploading photo's and downloading programs.
Sunday 26th April:
Off to the supermarket to get my weekly shopping done, this was followed by a trip into the city to get my finger checked for the second to last time and a quick bit of small shopping. Then got home and watch the F1 race.
When I was coming home there were a bunch of cops near my flat. As I went down to feed the ducks there were 3 of them at the canal, stopping people from going in one direction. Got to talking to them for a bit before heading off in the opposite direction to feed the ducks. Went down later again to feed the ducks the last of the bread and ended up chatting to another cop down there for about 15-20 mintues (as always they were unable to tell me what was happening) found out later on the Birmingham news site that there was a guy (who had apparently been kidnapped) then bound and had canister strapped to his body - so alleged bomb threat - and this was all happening withinabout 500-600 meters of my house. Excitement for the week for that one.
Monday 27th April:
Work
Tuesday 28th April:
Work
Wednesday 29th April:
Work and final trip to the doctors about my finger - it's getting better just raw skin at the moment.
Thursday 30th April:
Work
Friday 1st May:
Work and more work.
Saturday 2nd May:
Took the day out to Shrewsbury - nice little quaint town where Darwin was born. Not a bad little town surrounded by water - althought it must be the hangout place for Emo's and Goth's because there were a lot of them just milling around in the city centre.
When I was catching the train back to Birmingham I ended up picking the wrong train and ended up going in the wrok direction to Gobowen, where I had to get off and catch the train going back the other way to Shrewsbury. Saturday night was quiet.
Sunday 3rd May:
Went to Chruch then bought a new book on the way home. From there I went up to Morrisons to do a weekly shop and then followed by a quick feed of the ducks (they weren't very hungry). The afternoon afterwards was very quiet which was nice.
