Rudders at Home

Yes, till Christmas, but also to my last day at work. I do have to say I’m looking forward to them both. Christmas because I get some time off, and it’s great that it’s that time of year, and the job because I’m really looking forward to a new challenge in the New Year. I have to work between Christmas and New Year this year, but I’m planning to make it an easy time – just clean up, etc. I start my new job on the 3rd of January, with a few trips up to the Birmingham campus in the first couple weeks. It will be interesting, to say the least. I’m excited. It will be good.

Anyway, things here have been busy, with Christmas dos and the like. Friday was full with my work party during the day, and then Paul and I got all gussied up to go into town for his work party. He even got a kilt on and I tried to do my best. I don’t think I embarrassed him, though. At least I hope not!

Saturday we met some friends in town and did a nice touristy thing. We went on a Jack the Ripper walk, from London Walks. It was a pretty decent walk – I learned quite a bit, and Paul and I are definitely going to investigate more. I’ve been wanting to do one of these for ages, so it’s really good we went.

So, Friday I’ve got my leaving drinks, and next weekend, before New Year’s, we’re going to go see a pantomime. We’re going to see Peter Pan, with Henry Winkler. That’s going to be good. The only thing we have to think about now, to make things complete, is where we’re going to travel to next. Especially since I’ve got 28 days holiday next year!! 🙂

Maybe I’ll put up a new poll…
