Many apologies for the lateness, I've been stupidly busy; getting injured at hockey training on wednesday wasn't in the script really, although after 3 months off, I may have pushed a bit too hard!
Work has been mind-bending so far; the people are lovely, the office is wonderful, a the project is good fun too! The first meeting went along the lines of 'Ummm, Dom, we've had this brochure sent back from the publicity people. As the only English person on the floor, could you look through it and make it make sense please!' Which I duly did and now everything is hunky-dory!
There's a massive cantine; OK, when I say cantine, it says restaurant on it. Thursday lunch was a lovely salad to start, a medium rare steak and a lovely desert to end; and a glass of wine all for less than €4. Insanity! Friday I was a little more restrained and settled for the fish; lol!
And good news on the blogging front! The new phone appears on monday and gives me access to a camera and free internet so future blogs will have videos and pictures and colour and stuff that isn't annoyingly late! Although how the people on the bus in the morning will appreciate getting blogged about is a problem I shall fix when it arises.
Went to the market this morning; I shall go again next week so there shall be an all-colourful blog in 7 days time. It's like the old-school. Butchers selling massive slabs of everything, greengrocers in long coats shouting about mushrooms whilst surrounded by fruit so fresh there's probably a tree around the corner, a spice shop, a corner shop, a bakers, a flower shop.....and McDonalds. Yeh, there goes the utopian illusion right there! But the smells, the colours, the banter; all in there! Trust me readers, you'll be salivating about this for the next week until I get back down the market with my camera and show you some things!
Last, and by no means least, may I wish good luck to my lovely brother Jonathan who's starting university this week, and to all freshers in the same position. Good luck to you all!
That's all from me for the time being but I shall try and be more up-to-date next week :-)
