Long time coming....

I'm back! Wow. It certainly has been a while. Neglecting the blog left me feeling pretty guilty so I'll be giving a brief update on my life.

To start, job-hunting has taken up my time. Like, a lot of it. Good news is, I got a job a a bakery. Bad news is, I was laid off exactly a month later. Why, I hear you ask? "Due to my lack of smiling." According to my boss. Despite the fact I pride myself on being the politest possible person to strangers. I was insulted to say the least. And upset I'll admit, since the call was out of the blue.
Bosses should at least be honest when they get rid of a person and not just use some excuse.
Now all I've got is a rubbish reference and more months of job searching ahead of me.
Right now I scratching out a meager living by delivering catalogs and collecting the orders people write down in them. Oh well, back to the old grind.

Other than that? Nothing much has happened. I have been on holiday to sunny Somerset this July. Lovely place? Absolutely. Welcoming people? You bet. Just a shame my well-meaning mother feels the need to drag my *ahem* slightly confused granddad along with us. He would much rather be at home watching ol' cowboy films. Sitting in a car for hours isn't very good on him anymore.

However, the holiday was a blast! Cabin, hot tub (bliss), cider and fishing by a picturesque lake (shame I didn't catch anything substantial.) Bristol Zoo was lovely and visiting Glastonbury was certainly an experience (a crazy-hippy-folk-doing-yoga-in-the-street experience).

Plus my boyfriend passed his driving test first time around, because he's a legend, obviously! Couldn't be more proud of him at the moment. Hopefully things will continue getting even better once uni starts in September! Also can't wait to get started with this Beanstalk Helper Reader Volunteer work.
