Hola, seems like an age since i've been on dA properly. Mainly cos it is. In July and August i went on holiday with the illustrious lu (*
pepper-mint-pattie). We went to Devon (in England), which was pretty cool, took literally thousands of photos, went to the beach, visited the
Eden Project which was wicked, visited Plymouth (how a city can be given the feel and atmosphere of a giant council estate I've no idea, but they managed, horrible place, was very happy to leave there)did some walking, some reading (I finished reading 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro, who is simply an astounding writer and creator of utterly believable characters, i can't tell you hopw great I think his ability is), generally had a great couple of weeks. We stayed in a little cottage in a village called Slapton and drove round loads of tiny little scary country roads and lu's car survived.
I can't remember if I've mentioned it, but we've got two very sweet little cats too, they're called Pickle and Bear, I'll put up a phot of the pair of them sometime soonish. I've never had cats before so its a whole new experience, but they're very wonderful and beautiful little things. They're cats rather than kittens, but they are still fairly small.
Nearly finished my existing job, running round interviewing some groups about their work and evaluating the benefits to public health they contribute to. A week on monday i start my brand new job, I'm gonna be developing the network of User and Support Groups for people affected by Cancer, it sounds really cool and the organisation its with has a really good reputation for its work. The job is covering a vast area, thus a new car is necessary so i'm off to get that next weekend and at the moment i'm trying to sell
my reliable little car (complete with rust on bumper, and oh so subtle blur on the reg number), its a real shame, its my first ever car and i think its really cool. But i doubt it'd appreciate 20,000 miles a year.
In order to give the job the attention it deserves, I'm gonna be around sporadically, I've given up the few positions of vague responsibilty I had, which was a shame, especially in
#Trivia, but its allowed someone else to become an operator and hopefully do well, I gave up being an operator in
#Hell a while ago, but its still a cool place to hang out. Finally, one of my little side projects I've handed over to someone else as I've just not got the time and I'm more than confident taey'll do well with it.
Hopefully I'll submit something relatively soon from all that i took on holiday and from some of the really great shots i took before or since too.
Hope you're all good.
