Well, it’s been a while since I wrote anything so I guess I have a little catching up to do. I got back to Bath the Sunday before last (January 2nd). The first couple of days I spent catching up with my girlfriend, which was nice. I’m not saying we can’t manage a week without seeing each other, but after the tsunami and everything it was nice to be able to give her a proper hug.
We didn’t really do much, but we did manage to get to the cinema to see House of Flying Daggers which kind of counts towards one of my new-year’s resolutions because we went to the Little Theatre Cinema, that Picturehouse place which sort of counts as cultural.
The first week back at work (well half week) was pretty slow as well. I said before that I’m waiting for some results from GSK, which has been slowing me down a bit. Although they’ve said they’ll hopefully have something for me by the end of the week. But I also have to admit that I’m finding it difficult to get back into the routine of work since I’m going away skiing at the end of the week!
On the other hand, I did manage to make it to the gym a couple of times, which is another couple of ticks on my list of new-year’s resolutions and is making me feel a bit better about Bath Half in a couple of months. Also last week, a gang of us went to the Wife of Bath again for another nice meal.
At the weekend my girlfriend and I spent most of our spare time wandering around various ski shops in Bath and Bristol getting a few essentials for our holiday. She bought a new ski jacket and I bought a hat. We didn’t really do much else; shopping really tires me out.
Other than that things have been pretty quiet. I’m really looking forward to going away. As I said, I haven’t been out of the country since I started my PhD over two and a half years ago so I think this is a well-deserved trip. And I know I’ve just got back from Christmas, but I already feel like I need another holiday.
I’m not sure if I’ll have chance to write again before I go away because we leave Bath on Friday afternoon and fly to France at some ungodly hour on Saturday morning. But I guess I’ll have plenty to say when I get back.
