Are you ready for a good time?

Rarr! Just booked my ticket for Rocco de Luca. So awesome! This'll be fun, I'm sure. Also, mother has booked us tickets at the Hilton that weekend as her over-the-hill club...sorry, SAGA...has a sweet deal on. So that'll be nice. :) Now to hope that work don't refuse me the time off. I've been told that it'll be OK...but the proper manager gets back off holiday next week and she might have something to say about time off that close to Chrimbo. This, after all, is the place that refused to give me time off for my Oxford interview. It was sort of insult to injury, finding that out on Friday night. I had to explain that I didn't need the days anyway, as it turns out. If I had though, I would have taken them anyway, regardless of permission. And the same goes for these days too - if they say 'no' now that tickets have been booked, they'll instantly get my notice. I've had it with most of the people I work with anyway.

Drove up into the Lake District this morning for yukky course, that turned out to be bearable after all due to nice people on it, and nice trainer-woman. Froze in a room for seven hours but it was still OK - the drive up was glorious. There's snow on the hills up there and it was just gorgeous. If I hadn't have been totally late, I would have stopped for pictures. It was chucking it down with rain by the afternoon - and I mean chucking it down, for real - so there was no opportunity on the way back. s'ok though, I'll go back up on a nice day at Christmas and get some, I think. The weather followed me south though and this winter is going to be brutal. :D! I love it!
