Back after a week away. The weather started poorly and gradually got better - but in our holiday tradition managed to avoid getting wet. The day that it rained was spent on the Churnet Valley railway, and it only seemed to shower when we were on the train! The site that we went to was brilliant (somewhere to remember when we're all tall enough for Alton Towers), there were some other children there that meant ours were entertained. As well as the steam railway we also took a trip to Poole's Cavern which was really good. The day that we got back was a bit of a heat wave (as has the whole weekend). Tasha has been away on her NODA course this weekend, so we've been completely on our own. It sounds like shes had a great time. While we were away I received all my contract details through the post from Brookson and NES, so it really is all systems go now. Got all my timesheets and expense forms so it really seems like its VERY real now! Can't wait to start. Trapper had his interview with ALSTEC, but they thought he was after permanent, and told him that they didn't have any immediate positions for contractors - so it look like he just missed out. That coupled with Mark not getting an interview is a real shame. It would have been cool to see all those redundancy letters being handed in! Florence is finally starting her swimming lessons this Wednesday, she seems to have been on the waiting list forever - I'm really glad that its starting before we go to France, she will enjoy the onsite pool a lot more if she has that extra confidence. We went swimming this morning and she is doing really well anyway. We also removed the stabilisers off her bike and she was cruising down the hill at the back of the house in about 1/2 an hour!! All in all a busy bit VERY enjoyable week.
