Unemployed

I finished work today! Oi, it was a strange feeling. A kind of anti-climax in a way. I'm not really sure how it could have been different though. We had a drinks in the Bar last night and although it was fun, it wasn't the most fun I've ever had (many people couldn't make it) and then today (as with all Fridays) there was hardly anyone in the office so very quiet. Which was good as I was able to tidy up all my stuff and wrap up loose ends. Now I'm free for 9 months!

I'm going to be taking it easy this evening and brace myself for the hectic weekend ahead.

Sunday is the main "leaving event" so I need to focus on that... oh and Madonna in Cardiff this weekend.

The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US

In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
