Bad Timing...

So, its been a while since I had a blog... The one I last had was whilst I was at Law School - which seems like a million years ago - and I struggled with keeping that one as up to date as I would have liked, though god knows what was getting in my way: Considering doing some work and then having a coffee and cigarette break maybe?

So... I managed to time the start of this blog with getting "Big Opportunity of My Dreams" Job (BOMD Job). Before that I was whiling away my time at a small Dickensian law firm, not doing very much and letting it get to me, between the wonderfully short hours of 9:30 and 4:45. Then 2 months ago, little firm was eaten by a big commercial soulless firm and I finally got the urge to go and find something better. I stumbled upon BOMD Job by accident four days after I started looking and managed to blag my way in two weeks later. And its great! But boy, is it stressful and long. I am now working 8:30 - 7 most days and those days are filled with a heady mix of excitement and terror. Needless to say, I never have the time to cook tea, let alone actually blog. I do managed to read others (thank god for my iphone) but I am little lax with posting.

I have decided that this is okay for me, because being an active part of a community that I enjoy so much, is important to me and is preferable to simply reading all the blogs I love... but I hope that is okay with you (the very few of you out there!)

P.s When I got BOMD, they gave me an "Apprentice"-style grilling and asked if I was willing to work all hours... I instantly replied "Er, Human Rights, Court of Appeal, Snazzy International Office... Hell Yes!!" but then realised I should actually talk to Wil about this, as it kind of effected him. His response was that I should go for it, even though it now means all things changing in our lives, starting with him cooking diner all week. I think it is pretty cool that we can change our roles like this (I used to cook all the time - I like it!) and that they are so easy to change! I was honestly like "Well, you'll have to cook now I finish so late" and he replied "Tuna Pasta Bake 5 times a week it is then!" and it was done! I feel a lot easier about our future now, and am worrying less about the traditions of marriage eating us up!

Happy (belated) Halloween

Wil and I were too hungover on Saturday to play with knives, so we had to put the carving off until today:



Every year, after the messy fun of carving, Wil and I bake with the insides. He makes Pumpkin & Tomato soup and I make Pumpkin Pie.

I meant to take a picture of his soup (which he made very promptly... my pie will probably not materialise until next Sunday...) but it was so delicious, I slurped it all up before I remembered. Anyway, you have my word that it was very very nice!
