Yesterday at work we had 2 minutes silence for the Miners. It's weird being out of the country when stuff like that happens, I guess it's been a pretty big deal at home? And it's obviously horrible. But sitting in our meeting/lunch eating room not talking for 2 minutes seemed kind of ridiculous. And awkward. And at the end no one really knew what to do so we actually sat in silence for like 3 and a half minutes before someone finally said something and we all went back to work.
Also I had this song in my head the entire time:
And I was pretty much just silently singing along to that. To be fair I had been listening to it on the way to work but I'm probably still a bad person.
Lots of things have happened this week!
I have a flat!
I am moving in tomorrow which is gonna be pretty weird because I haven't actually met any of the flatmates... Awkward.
I was told they are all like young professional guys. I wonder if they even know I'm coming?
ALSO the door to my room only opens half way because there is a giant wardrobe behind it. Someone was real good at furniture arrangement/installation.
Oh well it will be good because I will have my own space and also I am still close to work. Plus all the bills are included in the rent. Who needs a fully functioning doorway? NOT ME.
ALSO THIS WEEK IT HAS SNOWED QUITE A LOT:
I still find this to be pretty exciting and I don't even really mind being cold a lot of the time. Probably this will wear off at some point. My only worry is the constant fear of slipping over but I have that even when it's not snowing so it's no biggie.
Also we had our work Christmas party which wasn't really a party since there are only like 12 of us... it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and after I went to the pub with some people until too late and then I was real sleepy today at work.
Tomorrow if I have internets maybe I will put up some pics from my new home.
That is all.
OH ALSO THEN I WILL BE FREE TO SKYPE WHEN I LIKE. (Lucy I'm looking at you DRUNK SKYPE.)
erin i am unbelievably jealous that you are in a place where it is cold, and where there is history
