Andrew On Tour

[Disclaimer: If I get through this without the word 'update' from here to the end, I'll be impressed]

Well, to keep people informed of what I've been doing and why I've been so frenetically busy not to bother blogging of late, well, for a start I've been off around the country. This sort of exciting modern-executive style living should continue for the next three weeks or so.

This week I was in Liverpool for a day, Tuesday being the day in question (travelling up and staying overnight on the Monday, returning on the Tuesday evening). On the bright side, it meant I got to travel on one of these swish Virgin trains, which are extra roomy due to each passenger only having one arm and one leg having bought their ticket.

The reason I was in Liverpool was because I was part of the training team for a new program being rolled out to various branches across the country. This is the same reason I'm going for the next few weeks to be away.

In my tour I will be visiting Bristol, Exeter, Newcastle, several parts of London, and the wonderfully scenic Ilford (ha ha). While in Newcastle I will also be visiting old university folks from Durham, or rather young ones because they are still there while I have moved on. If anyone else who reads this (unlikely) is near one of the other places, let me know.

In addition to that, I have received my first payslip. It makes all the work and early starts worthwhile. So far have not had much of a chance to spend it, but, I've got it and that's the first thing.

More to come in the next few days I suspect, I intend to provide more regular posts in the near future. But then I always do.

Oooh, you're going to Exeter... my hometown! Who knows, you might even pass by one of my clan on the street. Unlikely as my mother hates shopping on the high street, and my siblings are at work/college, but still. There's a chance! And you're coming to see us... wooo!! x
