the alchemist

Result! I have a full-time job! The interview two weeks ago (which I thought went horribly) led to a second interview on Monday which resulted today in an accepted offer for a job! I start next Monday. Ideally this is not the job for me (ever the optimist!) but it gives stability and security while I can continue my persuit of a better more perfect "dream job".
Now I can concentrate on living, get some running shoes, a second hand bike and save up for a car. Or not, I want to go travelling too.
The last weekend I visited the parents, took in the annual cricket match ("my" team won) and I got to see my brother, parents and grandparents. Sunday I went on a bike ride, what fucking joy it is to burn around going as fast as possible and wherever. It sure hurt as I was burning it up the final climb to the house but it was absolutely fucking worth it!
"the descent" was brilliantly dank scary evil and bloody. I liked it :)
Finished "past mortem" in a day, i love books like that. incredibly entertaining but not too much brain power required. Now I am reading "Disgrace" by J.M. Coetzee which is absolutely on the other end of the spectrum, still v entertaining though.
