Where on earth has June gone??

Well, it’s been another age since my last update - wedding planning is in full swing now; have a few things booked already with the dress search well underway :D Why isn’t normal shopping as much fun as trying on wedding dresses, that’s what I want to know!

Not going quite so well are the driving lessons, as perhaps evidenced by the fact that I’m still having them :/ I keep having what is known in the business as ‘brain farts’ whilst on the road - think it is mostly this affliction that is standing between me and being able to pass my test. I did ask my instructor if I could just book a test and see what happened - I could have a good day! - but oddly he didn’t seem too keen on this plan! Apparently I need to achieve things like confidence and consistency first. So the lessons continue along their merry and expensive path.

My new job is going pretty well - still have periods of wanting to be somewhere else doing something else but that’s working life for you. Have made quite a few friends there and it’s a nice working environment which counts for a lot in my book :) And using QuarkXpress is fun as job related tasks go :) And we get breakfast briefings every now and again where we get danish pastries and tea in exchange for listening to talks :) And we have away day meetings at nice hotels with free lunches sometimes :) So not a bad place to work when all’s said and done!
