settling in, and getting out

So, been here a few days now, and shock horror, still not been in a pub. My resolution is strong - but not that strong, may see if there is a bar showing fa cup replays tongiht - see whats about. I walked down the main bar street last night at about 6:30, and to be honest, I've seen more life in a morgue... buy hey might pick up later, so probably go and investigate tonight.

ON the accomodation front, things are looking up - following the old adage " if you want something done properly, do it yourself", I had a look for some accoomodation, and found a hotel doing studio apartments. We went and had a look at them today, and they're clean and serviceable, if a bit basic. But, they'll do - privacy and wireless internet access.. its not a lot to ask for! They aren't available til friday, so we're carrying on the same til then.

On the work front, finalyl got given some tasks today - just a simple bug to look at, but gives some focus to the learning, and its thrown up a few things to get sorted. Kept me busy at any rate, and when theres plenty to do ,the longer hours that I need to do to offset my travel time for going home, don't seem hard at all.

I've also found the Opera squash club - we're having a hit on friday, so that should be good fun - might also investigate joining hte Linkoping club, to see if I cna get some more games in. I'm also going to check out a gym tomorrow, and see if they've got any ergs - as I could do with keeping fit while I'm here.

I finished my transit book - Meltdown - yesterday - it was very good - had some interesting views on the financial markets which seem all the more relevant given the events of the last 6 months or so. Good pacy thriller as well, so enjoyed that.
