Arrival!!

Hurrah! So we made it here to sunny and hot(?) Oxford with very few major problems. (see attached photo of the car!) Anyway, we're here and M has started work at the nicest place ever, and I am still joining the ranks of the unemployed...Maccas is looking very good at the moment. What on earth do housewives do all day? Good grief I am going mental after 2 weeks of living in blissful cohabitating harmony! Anyway....back to the point, Oxford is gorgeous and it is really nice to live in a town where there is more history than your entire country!! We haven't done a hell of a lot yet, we did go and see my aunt and uncle in Derby (total opposite of Oxford, think of comparing Kalgoorlie to Sydney!)and poor M got the worst ever introduction to british rail! It started by the train tickets NOT arriving until the monday after we travelled, so he had to fork out £31 just to be allowed to travel. Once on the train it was fine, no delays (WHAT!!) and then he got to Derby! The train door wouldn't open and so he got stuck on the train and had to go to the next station (Chesterfield...about 1hr return from Derby!) and then come back! Poor guy, he was pretty pissed!

The weekend was nice, My great uncle died a week earlier and I was already there for the funeral, which was pretty sad, although someone's phone rang during the service and I could see Rowley being a grumpy old man (then having a good old giggle about it!!) but, back on track, the weekend was nice, not much happened until we got delayed at birmingham train station for over an hour on sunday coming home, which in turn caused us to miss the Aussie/Brazil soccer match. Do you think I can sue on grounds of patriotic rights?
So we are now back in Oxford and I have had two job interviews in the last week, and applied for a dream job at Oxford Uni Press and am stuck in waiting mode. Hopefully this will entertain me for a while!
Will update on job progress, when there is progress!!
