May 2008
Back to the UK at the beginning of May, just in time for Suzi & Adrian’s wedding which was great! Afterwards Amanda went off to get Tinker while I spent some time with my family, a few days later I caught up with her and the dog in Bristol and we traveled on together to Wales; it was so hot and green and lush, just like I had left it six month’s earlier! Nice to have missed the entire Welsh winter.
Seems like in our absence everyone has got pregnant. We were hoping to catch up with Ian & Kate’s before the baby arrived but were a few hours too late. Next will be Imogen’s, followed a few months later by a load more.
I went on to Cornwall and Devon for a week in the middle of Amanda being in the UK to put up a met-mast with Dulas (so nice to get both paid properly and looked after properly) while Amanda spent another week in Wales with Tinker without me.
Amanda dropped Tinker off in Lancaster before briefly meeting up with me again in London. She went back to the US to continue her consultancy work while I stayed back in the UK and continued visiting my family & university work in preparation for an exam on the 4th June in Lufbra.
Spent the last two weeks at Mum’s in Kent, on my own, doing almost nothing but revising. Can’t wait for it to be over, I am short of money now and haver a load of paid work to be getting on with but I can’t get on with it for fear of failing my exam!
