Pipped

Job interview today. Pipped to the post again. For once it would be quite refreshing to have someone say,
'Sorry, we thought you were rubbish, you couldn't do this job in a million years'
instead of
' you were a very strong candidate and your enthusiasm really shone through. It was a really hard decision but in the end we had to give the job to someone with more experience than you so you were just pipped to the post'.
Pah! Even I know that enthusiasm isn't enough. I never liked sign language in the first place anyway.....

Punting

We went punting again on Tuesday, with Eddie, Hannah and Marcus. Hannah and I had 'won' some vouchers for losing the pub quiz (we were against a load of Cambridge Students) so we used them to get a meal for 5 of us and 2 bottles of wine for free!! They then took ages to serve us so gave us another bottle of wine for free as an apology! We were pretty merry by the time we got into the punt and had a great laugh trying to get further along the backs than we did last time and throwing reeds/weeds at each other. All got really wet and came home smelling of fishy water. Am looking forward to more good nights out in Cambridge as we get to know people better.

Finally a blogger

I usually find I'm quite good at figuring out how to do things on t'internet but for some reason the whole blog thing proved a bit confusing. I tried to set up one of these a few months ago but couldn't seem to get the links to work. Had to pull the helpless wife card on this one. Cheers Rich.

Blogs - what a classic way to avoid starting on any of the things I should be doing now - 'I'll just have a little look on people's blogs' - perfect. When my job went down to mornings only 2 weeks ago I had a whole load of ideas for interesting, exciting and productivwe things I would do with my free afternoons. I'll start on them tomorrow....
