A long overdue Update

Well it has been ages since I last updated the blog. No good excuses at all other than the fact that my laptop was stolen from my bedroom a few weeks ago. The landlord and painters left the front door open resulting in my laptop and PSP being stolen from my bedroom. Needless to say I was not impressed. Anyways, there is no point in dwelling on that situation.

Over the last 2 months I have been to a premiership football game to see Man U vs. West Ham United where West Ham won 2-1. I went into a local pub in the east end of London and joined in the high spirits of the west ham fans. Quite the experience!

I also managed to get tickets to see Bath vs. Auch (French team) in a Rugby tournament and sat 2 rows back from the back of the post. Interesting view of the game other than the fact that when the play is in the far end you can't see a thing.

I haven’t done much in the way of travelling besides that trip to London for a few days to see the Football game. I am off to Milan next tues for 2 days. Then on to Zurich and Geneva. From there I have 7 days snowboarding in Grand Massif in France before heading back to Bristol. I will update the blog when I get back with photos of that trip.

The other big news is that when I get back from that trip I will be starting a new job in Bristol with a company called WSP which is a Civil Engineering firm in the centre of Bristol. I will be moving more into Transport and development team which is the direction I want to take my career.

That’s about all the news for now. Hope that gives you all a quick update. Below are a few pics from trips around Bristol including a trip with my cousin to see Brunel’s famous ship the SS Great Britain which is docked here in Bristol. It was designed by Brunel which is the same architect that designed the suspension bridge and train station over 200 years ago.

More exciting entries to come.... I promise.
