Double bad blogger update

I'm resolving to write this blog a bit more because things are finally getting a bit more interesting. Since the last post I have:

• Installed a lovely solar water heating system on Cottage 1 of the Site Community buildings at CAT (how come these buildings have such bland names? Get thinking, CAT community people!)
• Had a midday naked swim in the reservoir at CAT, after a very hot installation day outside cottage 1 in May. I now consider myself a fully-fledged hippy, having also discovered a herbal tea that doesn't make me want to throw up and having uttered the immortal words 'it's a nice space' when describing the decor of a house or building
• Sorted out the move to Loughborough
• Spent another week at Glastonbury, and had a Moment of Great Importance watching Blur. That's what it felt like anyway, could have been the special 'cocktail' I was drinking, gin with white wine mixer. I've since realised that this is basically a Martini, we should call it a Blur Martini or something. It was horrible anyway so I doubt it'll go much further in its fame than me and Ellie (who I shared the Moment with).
• Got older and had a very nice cocktail party to celebrate (I learned how to make Martinis and the rest of the evening is a bit hazy)
• Worked on Reception at CAT. I have seen a lot of families and a very large range of human behaviour, ranging from puke-inducingly nice to tear-inducingly dispicable. I have learned how to make my voice heard over 15 people talking at once, control school children (get their teacher to do it), and how to win over the angry old couple who have had a shit journey to get there and are presenting us with an invalid 2-for-1 voucher (give them free tea tokens). Fun but tough, and exhausting.
• Moved house and been introduced to the delights of sourdough bread which my lovely housemate Tom makes
• Become obsessed with Manu Chao
• Been rejected by the Leonardo Project, who didn't fancy my engineering and German skills. I was meant to be going June-September, but instead have earned some money, built on my promising people skills, had one last summer in Mach, and been to Glastonbury for free, not a bad compromise eh.
• Made Bara Brith
• Sold Sid the Mini, having spent a week at home with my Dad sorting out all his (Sid's) problems. I sold him to a girl in London who was just about to go to University...poor thing, she doesn't know what she's in for. Although she seemed to be loaded so will probably take better care of Sid than I did and will hopefully have fewer problems.

So, sorry I missed out on reporting all of that...I'll try and do better now my career is progressing a bit.

I've been musing a bit about what's going to happen after my course, which will take me until Sep'10 to finish. I'll have about 5 months before I have to get back to the Engineering degree with OU which I'm still planning to finish. I'd like to get a job as a Wind or Hydro specialist, or perhaps go into research...we'll see. Only three weeks till I finish my job, then about 2 1/2 weeks until I move to Loughborough. Hopefully going to France in the gap between. Meravillieux!! Or something like that :)
