pffft
Finally decided to do something with my redundant pictures page, was looking a bit naff, having no content n that.
Nearly time to hop on the tube to see wales england in london welsh, pretty much resigned to losing again. Although we do win from time to time (like last year!), as far back as I can remember it seems we generally lose this one. Or to be more specific, we tend to either narrowly win, or lose very badly. Hopefully a narrow win this time :o)
Just about getting into this year's ou courses now, started reading the books a bit more strictly now. First tma's aren't till march I think so not yet in a desparate rush, though if I don't crack on with them it'll start to get very stressful very soon!
Got a new bike for christmas, was all excited like a small child. I've even gone and used it since buying it last week, much to my surprise. There was always the risk of it sitting in the garden rusting for months and not getting ridden, though I've found it's really easy to use it for nipping to tescos in the evening n that. We'll see how often I can be bothered, especially when it's as cold as it is today.
Strange times at work, there've been about 70 jobs lost on site, with more inevitably coming, in the name of cost controlling. So there's a pretty much constant doom and gloom atmosphere among the tea room talk of late. Not that I'm necessarily expecting to stay with the same company, on the same site for more than a few years. Just I get lazy, like most, associating change with hassle and therefore being wary of it. To be honest, getting a mild redundancy package and looking for jobs elsewhere would hardly be a bad thing, with my ~50 mile commute I'd be fairly happy to move somewhere closer and possibly a train commute rather than driving up to 3 hours per day to and from work.
Well time to get ready now, check the wales top is clean n all that.
