Somewhere, not London

I've landed a job, or at least, I'm going to work on Thursday and will take it from there.
It's a 2 week contract for good money, near Hook.

After a few hours of furious searching and working out, I've made a preliminary booking into a £45 a night hotel within a mile of the place I'll be working, from Sunday to the next Sunday.

Ouch.

Doing the math, however, the return journey from London is £10 a day. With a rail card, that will work out at maybe £8 a day. I'm paying £18 a night now, add on £8 and we're at £26. Add on a decent breakfast and it's £30.

Then there's the obvious commute time - an hour and twenty minutes to Hook and a 2 mile walk to odiham which will take 30 minutes, or I can catch an hourly bus.

Ain't that all totally boring ?

Fuck yeah.

The interesting thing is I'll arrive here :-

If your a totally hopeless dreamer romantic pisscat like me, it all looks rather interesting.

And so ends the most flat and tedious blog ever to grace these pages !

I'll leave you with a famous quote, see if you can guess who it is :-

"Drink, girls, arse, feck"
