Amazing mazes!

Getting lost is always more fun in a maze though I maintain I would have beaten Rhys if he hadn't had started following me!

Happiness is sharing

Today I've worked it out, I love it here I truly do, but being here without somebody to share it with just isn't the same. I guess it's lonely. Don't get me wrong I'm quite happy to be on my own some of the time, but this is when I'm really content; sat outside on a gorgeous evening, amazing company and drink in hand, it doesn't get much better :-)

Lessons Learned

Three days in and I'm happy, my brain feels like it's about to explode, and there have been a couple of low moments, but I think this was the right decision for me, and now, being here I can see how the last three years have changed me, hopefully for the better. It doesn't feel easy this time, but easier I think, at least professionally. Personally outside of work, I almost really screwed that one up, but I think it's better now, I've learnt.


On that note, a few lessons from the first few days;


- You don't make friends in silence, or with a frown, very easily. Smile, relax and everything becomes simpler
- Think first, speak second; if you're on the phone words are all someone has to go by.
- Ask, and if you need to, ask again 

And finally;


- All those tedious design projects that at the time felt like they were being inflicted upon me, actually might just pay off, as much as I hate to admit. 


I'm enjoying this so far, but I guess the real test comes on Friday when everyone is back in and I do the introductions once again. So I'll just make the most of everything and wait and see what happens.

On Severn

And now I know why it's called 'on Severn'!

Finding God

My new walk to church is a beautiful one, walking along here is just peaceful enough to gather my thoughts and get tin the 'right' frame of mind :-)
