What a week

I cannot believe where the time has gone. Tomorrow we all fly out to NZ. The house is in a state of hyper-excitement, with bags being packed, people trying to remember things that are often forgotten (like taking library books back!) and me saying nothing much more than "we're going swimming with dolphins"!

So this week I have been quite busy. I went on my first solo site meeting on Thursday about some overhead line being laid underground through a part of the Forest. It was good to be out on my own, and to have something to say, but I feel my boss made a big deal about it, saying I must get out on my own at some stage. I don't know what all the fuss is about, it's nothing amazing!

Then that evening I met up with Caroline for the last time before she goes back on her ship. We had a nice long chat over good food, and have made plans for 8 months in advance when she gets back.

Then last night I went out with Hayley, James and Catherine to a few bars which was really nice. We chatted for ages as we hadn't seen each other for a while. The sad thing is I get back the day before Hayley goes to Finland, so we won't be able to see each other until mid-August.

So that's what's happened in the last week and you probably won't hear from me for ages (I don't think we'll have time for internet access) so bye for now!
