Week Ending 24th May

Sunday 17th May:
Usual Sunday events, doing the weekly shopping, coming to the hostel to upload pictures (finally up to date with them all) and downloading TV programs.

Monday 18th May:
Work, frustrating work

Tuesday 19th May:
It was only Tuesday and it felt like a long week already, not a good sign.

Wednesday 20th May:
Work, also got an interview with Lloyds TSB Autolease for the Friday for a job.

Thursday 21st May:
Work and got rung about the Lloyds interview which was brought forward by a 1/2 hour. One of the Australian guys working for Carillion is leaving to company soon to head back to Aus, and so we went out for a few drinks after work - I didn't end up staying for dinner as it was going to take me about 1.5 hrs to get home, and I didn't fell like getting home at midnight still needing to iron my shirt for the interview on friday.

Friday 22nd May:
Work, left early to go to my interview which is down near the Birmingham Internation Airport. Wasn't too bad an interview, and all things considered provided the pay rate is right I would take the job in this market. Also booked my flights to and from Ireland for a 2 week holiday. Leave on Sunday 31st May and get back on Saturday 13th June.

Saturday 23rd May:
Got a bus trip to Oxford for the weekend. Great weather to be going there in, sunny and warm. Got to Oxford booked into the hostel and then wanderer the town/city centre and surrounds. Walked along the canal and river, before having a rest at one of the churches where a Jazzchoir from Bonn uni were practicingfor their performance in the evening. I ended up going to it, as it was free and while there weren't that many people there it was a really good evening and display of talent.

Sunday 24th May:
Woke up had breakfast then waited in the common room to book out, as it happened that Jazzchor of Uni Bonn (or at least some of the members) were staying at my hostel. I ended up chatting to a couple of them (3 guys in the choir are from the USA). After the chat I went to a local baptish church where they happened to be guests and so got the chance to hear them again. Followed it by chatting to one of the guys again, then wandered down to the river bank where I sat sunbathing for a bit before heading back to the hostel to get my bag and heading to the bus station to head back to Birmingham.

Monday 25th May:
Another bank holiday, spending it at the hostel uploading the Oxford pictures and downloading a couple of programs. still relatively warm although the day is very overcast. It's going to be a nice relaxing day.
