Two wheels good!

In early May I finally got out of my last job, which was a nightmare. It was so bad that I was feeling sick every day at the thought of going in - in fact, it was so bad that I felt very edgy today when I had to call them to find out what had happened to my last pay slip and P45. I was informed that the pay slip had been sent to my workplace, because they'd not had enough notice that I wasn't there anymore. They knew on 4th May, wages are done in the second half of the month, and it would not have been sent to workplace until around 25th May. That's the people I was working for, and this is one of the very minor things they do, messing with wages.

Anyway, a few weeks down the line, and I'm feeling a lot better. No small thanks to Ginevra, my new bike, kindly offered by my dad :)))



I've had it since the bank holiday. Before then, I was using a bike borrowed from a friend, but it was old, too low for me and with no gears so it was really hard. With Ginevra, I'm all over the place! Last week I went for an ice cream in Regent's Park, which was a good excuse to do 30 km that day :)))

In early May I also went to see Gogol Bordello - they are just great! I'd seen them a couple of years ago and was looking forward to seeing them again. I had bronchitis at the time (possibly caught thanks to being so stressed out at work), but I was determined not to miss this gig so I dragged myself there. It was well worth it! And here's the t-shirt I bought. As soon as I saw it I thought my father should have it; I'm just borrowing it until I can give it to him :D
