Well, it's been nearly a week since I updated so I though I’d pop my head through the door to offer an update. First off my Great granddad died on Thursday the 28th at 11:15 from organ failure. I'm not too upset because I know he was a very good man, had a great innings and a fantastic family. He was cremated last wed (4th) near Inverness. So I’m waiting to hear when the funeral service is.

Been busy at perk up, as usual. Is getting very tiring now. I’ve been none stop with uni and work in various jobs without a holiday since last august (Welcome to the real world eh!?). So I’m looking forward to getting back to uni for some fun. However finances for next year are going to be very tight indeed.

Travelling to hull tomorrow to do a bit of work with a mate from uni. Its access stuff, so 'Shouldn't' be too bad really. Although access can get mighty confusing at times. The thing I can't get my head around is using sql queries with access; it's all highly trivial to me!!

Got a job for when I’m back at uni too, in a restaurant near York called the three hares. I’ll be working their Friday, Saturday nights 3 weekends a month, should help keep my finances up to par. They've offered me a position as early as next week to start. The thing is I don't want to leave perk up in the sh*t, everyone there is nice as pie, but I figured if I worked there for three weeks then I would get to know the place, the people and most importantly the menu. On the very bright side it means that I will get to work with a very good friend and good chef Mr Nick Robinson again. He used to work at the Deanery but has now left. I learnt most of what I know from nick and it would be fantastic to work with him again. The three hares are also quite close to where my girlfriend lives too, so can pop past and say hi now and again, which is nice!

In other news, I had a bit of a mis-hap on Thursday (2nd day of driving) in which I managed to damage my front bumper, nothing serious or involving other people. I was reversing out of our narrow driveway when my bumper (damaged slightly before I got it) caught on some bushes and ripped of on the driver side, D'OH!! So a trip to the scrap yard and £20 later and I had a new bumper (as new as is possible for a Renault 5).

I bought a CD player and some speakers for my car too. Got the CD player fitted because the car had no connectors and the CD player doesn't work, I can listen to the tuner no problems but the CDs just won’t go into the player. I called into see an audio specialist and he said this is very uncommon as Kenwood are a very reliable make. He suggested I contact Kenwood and ask for a repair or replace. So I did, I called at 17:05 only to be greated by the very receptionist that told me "they've all gone home, its 5 o'clock", dam it!!!

Anyhow, went for a game of pool with my good friend Andy Quin tonight which was nice got some pizza on the way home and here I am. Must clean my car tomorrow though, is getting messy already!
