The Sphere Effect

Here are a few of my friends from the Hostel - here we have Paul, Dan and Nick. This was on a particularly hot Sunday afternoon in the garden - drinking and playing frisbee and cricket. Was great fun - and very chilled and relaxing.
This is Georgia and Corky in the bar - relaxing after a hard day of doing … absolutely nothing! This is my new friend Shana - Yes TWINS!!

One of the key things that really overwhelmed me in Turkey was the size of the beach at Anzac Cove Granted they have recently put in a road - but this is the beach that our boys landed on on 25th April 1915 while hell rained down on them from above. It’s had to take such a thing in.
This is me in Laodicia - I have so many picture of Roman ruins, but I won’t bore you with all of them here !

Well it’s now my 7th day in my new job. Still a bit slow going since I’ve started, so thought I’d take the opportunity to update the old blog!

My new job is with Dimension Data in Fleet, Hampshire. For those of you who have absolutely no idea at all where that is, well… join the crowd! It’s not in London, put it that way! Since I am determined to stick it out in London, it’s currently taking me between 90 mins and 2 hours each way to get to work - horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE.

So I’m going to have to leave my little piece of Heaven (Globetrotters Inn in Hammersmith) and fine my way out again in the big bad world of London. Have decided I’m going to move to Putney so that I’m near the overland railway line and hopefully will reduce my commuting time to around an hour each way. Should get lots of valuable reading and study time in a day (or maybe sleeping, as have to get up so blimmin early in the morning).

Living in the hostel has been a fantastic experience. I really don’t want to leave. There’s definately something about living in a place that has absolutely everthing you could possible want right there (apart from your own room). Having lived there now for nearly 7 weeks, I have managed to gather a good group of friends around me. I can watch TV in any one of 4 TV rooms, or a DVD in the very large DVD surround sound cinema in very comfortable bean bags, dance and drink in the in-house bar, sunbake out in the large beautiful back yard, surf the net… etc etc. Everywhere I go there are people I have made friends with, so it’s really hard to actually go out anywhere. The best hostel I’ve ever been to, so if you’re looking for somewhere - try www.globetrotterinns.com .

Anyway, gonna go now. Will update when I find a good place to live in Putney. Then I expect to be told when each and every friend of mine is intending to come and visit me!!!!!!
