Birthdays and Night shifts

Well good evening/night/morning. (It's 2:30am, so pick what you fancy from that). I'm on another night shift, and felt that I should update you all on the excitement that is my life. Or lack of it could be said.
So primary job is going well. I had a meeting with the store manager who wants to expand my talents and help me move up the ladder by getting on the management training program. I guess it's a step in the right direction, but I'm really not feeling the idea of being stuck at that place forever. Although I certainly don't mind a manager's salary.
Secondary job is also going well. I'm gradually fitting in with the group more, and picking up the extra shift here and thee is certainly helping.

In other news, it's my birthday soon. I've ordered a cake, and have started trying to buy myself something nice.  I've organised a meal out for a few people, and this is where my problem arises. I've got mum, possibly dad, Connor, Biddy, Becky and James going. My problem is I don't quite know how everyone is going to react to James. I know for a fact he is not what they are all expecting, and I'm a little nervous as to how he responds to them.

I say it like there is something official going on. There isn't. But Becky and my mum know enough about it to know there is a bit of chemistry there, and that I like him. Just how it plays out, that's a mystery. And I must remember to warn everyone to be on their best behaviour. I don't want any drama, just a nice chilled evening with lots of food :D

And that brings me nicely onto my next point. I have a date on Wednesday. Okay I was thrilled to start of with, but now the idea has cooled a bit. He seems nice, a little...how do I put it...old before his time? Does that sound right? I'm still going to go, so we shall see just how it goes. Maybe in person he is a bit more on my wavelength.

And there was me saying I wasn't going to bother looking any more until I came back from travelling. Funny how you say things like that, and suddenly they seem to change. It's almost like someone heard me, and sounded the drums of dating, and all the men in the land have rushed towards me, desperate to claim me as their own.

Well we can live in hope. Maybe it's an out of tune drum or something...

Been so long...

Hello. I do apologize for there being such a delay in this post. Something has really stopped me from blogging the past two months, and it's almost felt like my fingertips have had no life in them. But the fact that I am typing this now may mean we are back on track. Lets see what I have to tell you. First off, I guess the most important news is that I now have two jobs. As well as working at the other place, I've also taken up a second job at another well known high street chain working Saturday and Sunday night's for some more cash before I go travelling across Europe. It's not too bad on the weekends I don't work at the usual place, but when I do work there, I end up going for no sleep or even a proper break for nearly 36 hours. It's bloody hard going, but at the end of the day, I need to do this if I want to get anywhere. As they say, no pain no gain. It was Nan's birthday saturday, so we all went up to her's for fish and chips and a bit of cake....

Siena

Now we all know towns and cities that have a major rivalry. Back home in England, it's between the city I live in, Southampton, and a city further along the coast called Portsmouth. It's mainly along football lines, but it's a rivalry all the same. However, no rivalry will ever come as close to being as fierce as between Siena and Florence. For years the two cities have tried to out do each other right from the beginning of time it seems! I can't tell you if there is a winner or not, but instead  have a look at some pictures of the fabulous Sienese cathedral. Even if you just do a day trip like I did, I promise you Siena won't dissapoint. Maybe then you can decide which of the two cities is the best?

San Marino

Next I visited everyone's favourite micro state, (no not Andorra!) San Marino! It was a bit of a challenge to get to, I caught the train from Ravenna to Rimini (literally managing to get on the train as it was about to pull away after a small fiasco at the ticket machine) then a coach from Rimini to Citta Di San Marino. First of all, no I didn't meet Valentina Monetta while I was there, but my gosh wow the views are fantastic! The whole city is perched high on the hills, and the ground is just a vertical drop next to you And perched atop these dramatic cliffs are the 3 towers of San Marino. Only one was open while I was there, and not only did it give me amazing views from the top, but It also had quite an interesting medieval weaponry exhibition, (yes that is a child's toy cannon, and people wonder why so many children died from accidents when they were allowed to play with cannons and muskets!) San Marino is a bit like the land that time forgot. Everywhere ...
