OooooooooohhhhhhhhhWeeeeeeeee

OK well it is offical that I am as bored as hell. There is just no work in London at the moment for a highly trained professional such as myself and so far the job agencies I am with (last count 5) have been offering me things like 10pm to 10am in Manchester somewhere which I understandably havent been keen on. I am not destitute yet but will be from Friday when my rent is due. On the upside, since being unemployed I have never been out and drunk so often, although that will have to end ASAP.
Actually I should have ended that sooner. First weekend I was back from holiday we took a new girl to the Walkabout in Shepherds Bush for a taste of what they are like. I personally use it as a kind of tool to remind me why I left the country, but it can be fun. It was a messy messy night. Lucky I live so close by. On he Sunday I caught up with a friend I hdan't seen for aaaaaaaages and we went for lunch. After that an inpromptue pub crawl began all over Covent Garden and Soho (yes just the 2 of us) which ended in some much too classy for us bar and a 16 quid plate of chicken strips on little sticks. Harder to eat than you might think after a pub crawl.
After that the next weekend was farewell drinks for another friend somewhere in Oxford Street. I was trying to be sensible and just drink half pints but they were only a pound and so that sensible attitude was not going to happen. Oh well I had good intentions.
This past weekend my cousin came down from Edinburgh to go and watch the All Blacks play at Twickenham and so we went out on the Saturday night. We started at a boat bar in the Thames (really is a boat, the swaying bothers you less after a few drinks) and then moved onto another Walkabout, this time the Temple one. Someone was there taking a lot of pics for I dont know what so I am in a lot of them. Not sure why. Also managed to slit my finger open on a large piece of glass (was trying to get it off the bottom of my boot!) but luckily some kindly gent rushed to get me a plaster and then gave me money to get a cab! I refused but he hailed one down also so was rude to refuse. If not a bit strange. Sunday saw the All Blacks game which I trecked to with another friend (I hate my tube line its always closed!) Was good fun, especially as I seemed to insult everyone else by supporting England but it amused me to do that. Sadly, the All Blacks won and I had it rubbed in my face. The only way I could shut everyone up was by pointing out that England has the world cup.
Anyway its almost time for 'Deal or no Deal'. I have seen ot so often that I am starting to know the participants by name. Its frightening.

Anyway I was going to include a pic of Croatia to show I did have a good holiday even if it is shite at the moment but I cant get it to load up. And even though I have unlimited time available to me I am sick of waiting!

Everyone cross your fingers and toes that anoter job comes to me soooooooooooooooooooooon....I need the cash for my holiday in January!
