Yet again, I've somehow managed to neglect this blog! Maybe one day I'll manage to update it frequently; but for the moment, erratic it is!

So much has happened since I last wrote. I've got a (proper!) job, albeit on a temporary contract, I've been to Paris (yes...again!), I've booked another holiday (Egypt this time) and I've tried (relentless!) diets, none of which appear to have had much effect!

This weekend I'm going to Bristol to visit some old Uni friends, and, about 5 years later than planned, we're going to see the Phantom of the Opera at the theatre. Having become obsessed with it in first year, it was about time we got our acts together, so thankfully Nee booked the tickets a while back and we've all been forced to go - which was, ironically, the kick up the backside we all needed to get together to see it!

In other news, work is also going well! Having started as an Intern, I moved (somewhat!) up in the world and am now an Administrator. As I work in London, the money is surprisingly good (thank you London Weighting...!) so I'm enjoying the work for what it is, and gaining a fab amount of experience. I look forward to going to work everyday - something I'm not sure will last through my entire career, so I'm definitely making the most of enjoying it now!

More recently, I've been looking back on the past couple of years. I still can't believe that I'm the same girl who flew to France to go grape picking! Or the girl who spent a year living and studying in Lyon. And yet, for the moment, my plans of travelling are still dreams. I've shelved them away for a while, whilst I try and make a) some money! and b) a life for myself back home. I'd still love to go around the world, and I can only see myself doing that properly whilst I'm young.

But: all in all. Life is pretty good! I'm still getting on really well at home, and although a lot of my Uni friends have moved out, almost all of my home friends still live with their parents, and at the age of 23 I still think that this is acceptable! Maybe once I get some more money, (and possibly after I've got a bit of travelling out of my system...?!) I'll start to think about it a bit more seriously. You never know what's round the corner though, so I think I'll just wait and see what happens.

Drop by again soon; I'll write more after the Jubilee weekend.
