On the hunt for work!

This week has gone so quick! Monday was the bank holiday and I was in London seeing off Pam and John as they headed back home. It was such a great time in London with them :) was so glad that we had the time to play together for a few days, thanks a bunch guys it was awesome! I headed off to Terminal 5 where I tried to hire a car. It wasn't that simple as it would seem! Apparently the airport only had Avis and Budget working on the Bank holiday, none of the other designated hire car options were available. I was presented with the only car we can give you Ma'am with automatic is a C Class Mercedes. I don't think so!   not for almost £900 for 2 weeks or more !  So I said I am not happy will go off to think about it, ring around and find that's none of the other car rental places can do anything for me! Hmmmm back to the desk, I don't want the merc, what else can you give me,  one other choice was £600 and then we gets down to a VW Polo, manual, think its the same as your Dom :) quite a gutsy little thing and just skinny enough to fit down most of the English lanes as I have come to find over this past week, when I have found myself lost, and relying on Gertrude the GPS! Robert if your reading this, I definitely need a "skinny" car, talk about scary, passing other cars on country lanes at high speed! I will need to buy a car very soon, I'm tracking up the miles, as I go to Wells, Bath, Radstock, Shepton. Mallet and back sometimes in one day!
I went to Bath on Wednesday, but didn't drive all the way into the city, as parking is a real pain and I seem to recall Rob, Helen and I got a ticket for parking in the wrong place, last time we were there! I had a lovely day :) I met up with Anne, that I knew from Perth, my time in the shop with Gail. It was so lovely to see Anne, she was full of smiles as always and always ready to give you a wonderful hug. We had a beautiful embrace as its been a while since we caught up with each other. Anne had a friend Brian with her, very quiet, but a nice guy. We all.walked around for a bit, till we found a nice little Indian restaurant, and we must have sat there chatting for at least a couple of hours. After our long lunch, we all went for a look see through the Roman Baths, can't go to Bath without seeing the Baths.  Helen and Rob, it was a much better day in Bath, no rain this time and we had sun! But it did get quite cool after a few hours, I decided to go clothes shopping afterwards because I found some bargains, then it was time for me to wander down the street to the marketplace where I needed to catch the bus to the park and ride at "Odd Down" yes that's right, strange name for a village!
Thursday and Friday I have spent both days getting up, having breakfast, driving into Wells, visiting the library and getting copies of my CV and then walking the pavement on the hunt for work, trying to find local funeral directors as that's what I know, but not afraid to try anything knew. Networking I think they call it, having a drink at the local pub with the Manager Mike, small opportunity to give my resume :) in the meantime, as I'm drinking, freaking I case I did get a job in the bar, so many beers and I don't understand what they are called!
Friday was spent, getting lost and "Gert" telling me turn around when possible! In the meantime, I have to then travel down a country lane for another 5 miles before I can turn around! It did end up being a productive day though, did go to about 3 funeral companies and a few agencies and I applied online, I suppose I shall just keep on applying, sending and greeting ppl, eventually something will present itself!
Tomorrow I'm off to a place called Street and also going into Glastonbury, so stay tuned and I will post pics of Anne, Brian and I in Bath xxxxx
