OK, so I'm back in the saddle. A week away, no Half Nekkid Thursday and a clamouring mob baying for blood as I return. Cool. It feels like I've never been away. My internet connection is now 4 times faster than it was, shame there's no discernible difference from my end.

What have I been up to in the last seven days. Not a whole hell of a lot really. Had an interview for a sales job I don't really want. Seemed to go OK, but who knows. Why do I end up getting jobs I don't really want. This is a sales job and I hate salesmen with a passion, they're all soulless wankers, and now I shall join their ranks. If it wasn't for the fact that I need the money desperately I wouldn't consider sales at all. But I'm running very low on funds 'so needs must as the devil drives'.

Currently finishing up my application form for teachers training. I'm hoping to get on this years course but I've already missed the deadline, but the course is still available, hopefully. Gonna try and teach primary school kids (4-11 years). But I'm going to try to do the course through the medium of Welsh to give me a better chance of actually getting a job around where I live. But I haven't written a word of Welsh in nearly 20 years, so that's gonna be fun. Should be a nice learning curve, close to razor sharp by my guess.

We had our lads Xmas dinner on Saturday. Six hairy blokes trying to cook up a storm in a small kitchen with way to much alcohol close at hand. It's a miracle that there were no serious incidents. We tried to play Trivial Pursuits TV Edition from the early 90's at one point, doing this while quite drunk meant we all ended up on the same team trying to get the questions right. Kind of us against the game. Food, alcohol and friends make for a good time, which we duly had in spades.

Apart from that there were no real highlight's. Had a downer for most of the week, mainly to do with the ex and my money situation. That was until I realised that my ex's current boyfriend might be having a great time between the sheets, but that's the only plus point. She's madder than a box of frogs and completely self-obsessed. After a while even really dirty sex starts to pale. This cheered me up no end, thinking about someone else going through what I went through shouldn't make me smile. Bang goes my good karma then. So after that epiphany of sorts I felt like the real me for the first time in months. Wonder if I can consider it an early Xmas present, who knows.

Speaking of Xmas, I am now officially done. All presents are bought. They only need to be wrapped. Job, as they say, done! An early Xmas present for New Housemate was Leaving Housemate's dog, Luke. He is staying on a permanent basis and this is good for my dog as well. Newest Housemate has also moved in but he has already disappeared to his girlfriends hose for Xmas. Was it something we said?

Apart from that I have missed you all and will catch up with your blogs as soon as I can (be arsed).

That is all....
