So today was my first journey into work on my own. Equiped only with my brain for navigation, and sheer bravery as my shield, I managed to tackle to US highways without incident. I was very relieved that without a map, I had managed to find the office. Unfortunately Gurtie Guzzler has now been traded in for a smaller, less greedy model. I only drove her for a day, but I had got kind of attached. My new car is a Hyundai Sonata and you will see it above. I will save my car review for a later posting :-)
Today was my colleague Warner's last day in the office. We celebrated this at lunchtime by going into Bridgeport to the BBQ restaurant. It was so nice and filling, that I think I will just stuck to the wine for dinner tonight! It wouldn't have been so bad but we also had cake in the afternoon.
I am beginning to miss my bike a bit, although I am walking far more than I used to. I went to the supermarket this evening and the length of the supermarket seems longer than my old journey to work. After 30 minutes walking backwards and forwards I left the shop with only a roll and some coleslaw. There is just so much to choose from that it becomes quite daunting.
I also found a TJ Max (same as TK Max) next to my hotel where I managed to pick up some pretty snazzy 'Guess' sunglasses for $15. So after 2 days I've come to the conclusion that wine, beer and sunglasses are cheap; food and gas guzzlers are expensive. I'm not sure if you're keeping up with my train of thought here, but I think it's steering me towards a bar and a beach somewhere :-)
I just want to say a big hello to my sisters. If your kids are so jealous of me being here then I think the only nice thing to do is to bring them out here. Angela, I'm sure you could do without the dog, and Nicky, your bathroom will last another year. Maybe you can by some cheap sunglasses in TJ Max and it will hide the colour you are so fed up with xxx
So that's it for today. I will try and have some interesting news next time I write.
