So, I might have failed to tell you something…

I have a job! Hooray! It was all very quick and sudden, and I only heard about the opportunity last thursday and now here I am 12 days later and two days in. It’s as a Hybrid Tutor in Epping Forest, and I’m enjoying it so far. Obviously not teaching yet as I need to learn how things are different here, but I’m settling in. So that’s good!

Hummmm, yes

Again, it has been far too long. I have still not given up on my yellowtrampoline, but life tends to get in the way a bit now, I’ve found. So what have I been up to? My job at Amersham was amazing, I adored it and the people I worked with. However, sadly there was not enough in the coffers to keep all of the trainees, and Teresa was the lucky one to get the tutor job, so after two extra months as a hybrid tutor (slightly more pay) I left the centre, and, of course, my new home and friends, Brownies, WI…
So now I’m back at home for a bit. I’m not as despondent as the last paragraph may make out, I promise. I’m fully aware that the tiny but perfectly formed centre at Amersham might one day have felt too cramped, and in some ways I’m grateful that I never got to that stage. In other ways, of course, I wish I was still there!
My job search has thus far borne no more fruit than a couple of interviews, and although that is a good start, it’s not a job, is it? The main, sometimes only, reason given for not employing me has been that others had more experience. But, if noone will employ me, how will I get experience?!
I’ve decided the answer lies in more applications, hopefully interviews, and Oxfam, so I’ve started volunteering in a local shop, about once a week.
So, there, I’m up to date. Back to the application grindstone.

Froggies!

I might even get around to photographing the one I made so you all can see it too. I’m impressed with how easy it was!

This one’s Nicki’s site. Nicki – you need to take a look at your comments, there’s something going wrong. Maybe upgrade wordpress?

Word of the day – lots

I’ve been up to Lots, so I think I should post before I get into the next crazy time. I moved out of my lovely room in Camberley at the end of july, and have been visiting lots of people in lots of places. Next up is my new house! On tuesday I’m off to Amersham to look around and decide how big my sheets need to be, and take possession of my new keys, that sort of thing. Then I’m going to Josh’s new flat in Hove, then to see my cousin and other family members in Devon, then packing frantically, then moving on 27th. New job starts on 28th. It’s very exciting! Have a look at the FSC Amersham page to see where I’ll be working, and the kind of things I’ll be doing. (Check out the links on the left hand side like Amersham Adventures and the Outdoor Classroom) All very exciting indeed!

Right, time I went and foraged through the fridge for some food.

Baby Beans!

Yep, that’s right, despite almost constant neglect and attack by terrestrial molluscs, my pot of kenyan beans is actually bearing fruit! Although 2 plants seem to have given up under the pest onslaught, there are lots of flowers on the other 3 plants, and one even has little beans on it! They’re perfect little minatures at about an inch long, and adorable, if a vegetable can be so. I’m so proud! They should be on my plate by next week, just in time for me to leave… At least I can take the pot with me.
