I always convince myself I'm pretty focused, times like today I have to ask myself if I really am? I'm out of work because of poor attitude (they recognised that I didn't want to stay in the job), I could sense it was coming but couldn't stop myself from allowing it to happen. I recognise that temp work is the way forward but that's only good if it's available. Today has been my first day of unemployment and I got up late and had a very unproductive day. Mondays are always going to be like that but it still annoys me. The plan is (and has not changed) Tenerife for a few months of work around the beginning of February. This week I'm going to work on getting a temp job, preferably a full time and ... read more

Monday 24 March 2008 Our flight landed in Manchester early in the morning and we immediately hopped a train to the city centre. We weren’t actually in Manchester to see Manchester, though. We just needed a cheap airport in Northern England to land in. When we arrived in the city centre our total sightseeing of the city consisted of the metro from Piccadilly to Victoria station. At Victoria we then caught another train which took us to the rural town of Sowerby Bridge to visit our travel buddies from Vietnam and Thailand, Phil and Kim. Immediately upon arrival at their house (photo), Phil started getting into snow-related mischief (photo). The weather had cleared a little so we decided to go out for a walk in the beautiful countryside (photos) and stop at a pub for lunch ... read more
