took the train to nottingham on saturday afternoon and got there around 5pm. a couple of wrong turns later i managed to find my hotel which was about a 20 minute walk from the station and after i had checked in i called my friends to meet up with them. we got something to eat and walked around the city center for a bit and around 8pm we headed to a few bars. that was it really. we went to 3 or 4 places and finished up around 2AM, strolled back towards the hotel, sat in the square in the city center eating out mcdonalds and called it an evening. never been to nottingham and its a nice city. living in london, everything else seems small by comparison and nottingham feels almost like a village in comparison, which is not a bad thing. the people seemed nice and my friend does like living there on his army barracks.
that was saturday done, so on sunday we went to visit my friends baracks which was on the edge of the city. we stayed there most of the afternoon before heading back to catch our train back to london. i was only out of the city for 24 hours but it felt like longer and thats a good thing. felt tired but also refreshed.
back to work this week and am on earlies, which is always fun. weather has gotten a bit milder which is good.
i bought a new mobile phone and it arrived yesterday but when i picked up the package it was in, i could hear things moving around inside. it clearly had been opened somewhere along the line and all the bits for it were then just thrown back into the box and the manual and cd was missing. not good. called up sony and they are going to send me another one. my current phone is over 2 years old and starting to crash occasionaly and the camera is rubbish. anyways, hopefully my replacement turns up tomorrow in good condition.
nothing else to say. we haven't played football all year, and unless something drastic happens i think we won't be playing again. one of the guys is still not 100% from breaking his toe a couple of months back, one of the other guys just had a baby (his girlfriend had the child, he is not some freak of nature), and one of the other guys is in prison and going through a court case. gangster shit. hence numbers are low.
no bother. summer is coming......allegedly, and i will cycle and hit the gym as much as i can.
still no word on getting a new contract. am being snubbed worse than joe biden in jerusalem. somethings got to come through soon.
today i have mostly been watching new york
AARRggghhhh!!!. its happened again!!!. a good contract came up after a long period of silence and they want someone to start on monday. i told them that i could be out in a week or two but they were not willing to budge at all. monday or nothing. i can't just walk out in the middle of a contract. i need a reference in future for other roles i go for and its not going to look good working at some place for 14 months and them not giving you any kind of reference. new employers are going to think some bad shit happened or i got sacked or something like that.
