The Secret Life of Andrew

I'm officially back! We've installed the internet today with a rather flashy modem type thing too so we're all set up. Oh, how I've missed the internet, sad but true. We've also got a phone so if anyone wants my new number they are welcome to have it. I've also put my backdated diary entries up so if anyone is bored/curious then feel free to look back at my LJ. It's mostly gone well and we're pretty settled really although it'll take a while to get used to stuff fully, especially on my account, what with the complete life change and stuff.

The rest of the work week was fine although a little dull. I've had stuff to do which has been fine, I'll just have a lot more stuff to keep me busy once I know the whole job, There isn't much more to say really, it's all still a work in process but it's ok.

Thursday was nice because I went out for a drink with James and his workmates who are all really nice and fun. It did me a lot of good to actually do something social. I never thought it would effect me, not knowing anyone here apart from James and I'm ok with it mostly, but it was nice to go out all the same, even if it was only for an hour or two.

Yesterday my Mum came to Skipton for the first time. She was really impressed with the house and I think she felt better for seeing that I was doing ok. She sent me a lovely text message this morrning saying what a lovely day she'd had and that she thought that Skipton wa lovely. She's not wrong, Jimbob isn't the only reason I moved here! So after I showed her round the house I opened my post and a present, containing various house stuff and a card off my family which was very nice of them. The three of us then went round the market. Me and James found some towels and some lovely rugs and, oddly, there were some owls in the street! A Lancashire sanctuary was on the high street with lots of diferent kinds of owls so we watched them for a little bit. It was really lovely actually and I've never seen anything like it before. I then took my posse for lunch. We had a natter, came back to the house and then out again, this time to the castle. Now I'd never been to the castle either. James used to work there and he still knows some of the people still there and he got us in for free! There isn't much in the way of exhibits there but it's nice to walk around and the views are great. And that about covers the day. I saw my Mum off on to the train and then we went to James old house to collect a few more of his books and things and didn't do much else, apart from watching QI. I was really glad to see my Mum so I enjoyed yesterday a lot :)

Today we've done less. Setting up the internet took a while and we've wandered around town. I've got the whole Sonic the Hedgehog collection to play, horrah! I'm liking computer games at then moment. I've also got Zoo Tycoon which is brilliant. Well, anything where you make dinosaur exhibits is going to be a winner with me. 

Anyway, there's not much more to say so here's some pictures:
