Have PC, no job, will blog

I guess I haven't been blogging because i spend one and a half hours commuting everyday. Until tomorrow yay, when its my last day on the job thank goodness. I have visa issues and will need to change visa classes in the new year in SA and then return and join the job chase in a battered British economy - fun times await indeed. But for now, I'm looking forward to the break.

What have I done/learnt over the last year:

• Read loads of books commuting to work until September when I switched to sudoku (I was using all my brain power before I got to work);
• My boss is spiteful, lacking in humanity and slightly xenophobic - I will miss her, not;
• I went to Scotland where the people in the cities are friendly and the people in the countryside aren't;
• Met people from all over the world, some of who are firm friends now;
• Discovered my thyroid is fine, but my testosterone levels tend to low;
• Learnt who my real friends left in SA are;
• Learnt my parents actually miss me;
• Became really good friends with my sister;
• Learnt to cook (like a bachelor on the run...);
• Wished I had picked a career where I could use my hands rather than chasing intangibles that live inside a PC;
• Fell in love with London, although I still hardly know her;
• Packed on the weight;
• Had random bump-into's with people I haven't seen since school or before that making me very nostalgic;
• Didn't do any travelling which miffed me;
• Discovered parsnips and sweet potatoes (never ate these in SA);
• Considering vegetarianism very seriously now (I'll keep fish and eggs although);
• Started to grow up, at last.

I know nobody reads this anymore, but I forgot (again) just how good it feels to put it out in the universe. Besides, if I said this to anyone I know IRL, I'd get 'sentimental sap' slapped across my face.
