Oh, the boredom

I have recently begun working again. First, working as a receptionist for Fresh Lifestyle Hair salon, near the Angel tube station. The place was great, the people were great.....but, alas.....the cost of a travelcard each day was not making my wage very worthwhile. Therefore, I then took on an office job instead. It is boring as heck, and my mind isn't challenged or simulated in the slightest bit...but it is paying me a reasonable, stable wage, and the travel doesn't cost much at all. So....I am a working girl, with a 9-5 job (definitely not a permanent fixture).....who would have thought. How boring am I :-s
Oh, so it was my birthday on Monday. It was perfect, no fuss at all and nothing too special :-D I'm not the biggest fan of birthdays...my ideal birthday is to see a few friends and family, maybe do a little shopping, and go out for a curry. No banners, balloons, excessive money being spent. I gave strict orders to my family on adhering to these rules.....therefore, my birthday was fabulous :-) I had great company, great food, and some lovely little gifts. Perfection. Thank you to ma famille et amis!

Joyous weather

It has to be said, I love the English rain. Idaho is rather dry, so it doesn't rain too often...and when it does, it just isn't the same kind of rain! The weather right now, here in England, is a little bit of everything....the rain has been coming and going, along with the sunshine. And, I love it. It is refreshing, and just so typically English.
I'm sure I will be sick of this "on, off" weather in a few weeks when it should just be pure summer weather, but for now.....I am happy :-)
