Howdy folks.

I suppose it's technically summer now, although in the UK the summer sun kinda came and went agen, leaving us with some turrrible weather more suited to winter perhaps! Looking like the sun might break through now though, so things are looking up.

How awfully British... starting things off by talking about the weather! Anyways. I've finished university for good now, had my last exams in May and came home for the summer a week ago. It feels like things are moving fairly slowly... There isn't so much to fill up my days, without all of the uni activities, uni friends, and uni exams. I'm getting busy with karate though, and starting to get stuck in down at the stables with mum - i've been doing some mucking out for pocket moneys, and today I went riding for the first time in ages (probably since last summer). Tomorrow is a fairly important day; the degree results come out, so I get to phone up and find out how well/badly I did. Then I suppose I can update my CV and start looking for jobs

The plan at the moment is to chill out over the summer, then go to France to work on my dad's new place with him in August. Then i'll just carry on helping him out there on and off until I find a job... I'm quite looking forward to getting out there, the place looks really lovely and I haven't been there yet. Nice big lake, some woodland, and a big old house to work on! If I don't find a job anytime soon then there's still plenty to keep me busy for a year or two, so i'm not worried about short-term prospects hehehe.

On a slight downer, my girlfriend and I broke up, but we are working at being friends at the moment. I hope that works out, because she still means a lot to me.

Right, over and out!
