Workin...

Well, I'm sitting here at work, enjoying the fact that I have nothing to do tonight, hardly any calls will come in, and the place is fully booked so nobody new can come in. I've got endless amounts of tea and a nice piece of carrot cake and some scones awaiting for when I choose, and maybe even a ham sandwich if I so desire. I'll admit, I don't want to only make £6.75 an hour, but I am in Oxford, and I haven't even begun to see the money that I'm making, so before I cry about how much money I'm not making and how much I'm not going to be able to travel, I need to actually give it a month.

As for travel, well... There's only so much you can do when you work every day for 10 days and sleep the rest of the time that you're not working. However, this week should prove eventful. I am going to do a tour of the Kilns, Lewis' home, visit his grave site, and raise a Guinness to the late Lewis on Thursday at the Eagle and Child. I hope to do a tour of Windsor Castle this week, maybe Friday or Wednesday, and I hope to do a tour of the Oxford Castle Unlocked, which is the old jail in town. The Sheldonian and Bodlian Libraries are also of interest, at least for some slow reading before work. I haven't tried really anything that Oxford has to offer, so while I'm here, I'm going to do as much as one can. That's why I'm here right?

My two November trips are coming up as well. I have a friend from home, well he's Joel's friend, but I shall call him a friend as well, who is traveling through Scotland, England and Ireland for a few weeks. On the 3-5, we'll be doing Edinburgh. Hopefully the castles, a day trip to Stirling, a scotch tasting hopefully, and just discovering what Edinburgh has to offer. I'm looking forward very much to that. Not paying for it, but I'll get over that. ;)

As for the next trip it will be on the 17th and 18th, and it's horseback riding in Wales. The Brecon Beacons Park, a national park, is what we will spend a day riding through, stopping along the way for many sites. On the way to the park there will be plenty of sightseeing stops, but it's a straight drive through the The Cotswolds, and is sure to be a welcome weekend away. Plus, they pick me up in Oxford, and drop me off in Oxford! Nice!

Welp, I'm gonna keep on working. I hadn't updated you all for awhile, so I figured I would. I think I said that pictures of my house are up on my flickr site, but if I didn't, then they are! I'll continue posting throughout the week, letting you know of how the week goes. Until then, Cheers!
