http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog notes from a small bri-land Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:32:16 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Not wanting to tempt fate here, cos we don't actually *have* the car yet, but my dad has agreed a deal on a car for me and it's been accepted, just waiting to pick it up on Wednesday! YAY!!! My 2nd Clio, it's 7 years old but has only done 15,000 miles and ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/30/va-va-vooooom/ End of term at last! Even though we had three weeks' closure, it still felt like a long term... I guess the stress of the cyclone took its toll on everybody eventually.  Very glad to have a holiday :) So... yesterday was spent re-packing my stuff to be shipped next week.  It's ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/28/phew/ I have not left the building today. At the moment I am wondering if there is ANY POSSIBLE WAY I can get private healthcare in the UK to cover a pre-existing condition.  It seems futile... If I was still with Jason I might have been able to join his healthcare plan ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/22/bleeeuuuurrrgggh/ Just been "caught" crying at work and my lovely boss (well he's senior to me but not actually my boss) was trying to be supportive, but men are just rubbish aren't they... He was like "Oh, should I back off? I'm leaving in a minute anyway." Bless him. Why am I ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/19/whinging/ The prospect of living with Rach again has really cheered me up :) I wonder if it could actually happen!!!  Better apply for some more London jobs then ;) I had sworn I wouldn't share again but if there is one person who I would make an exception for (and be ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/17/excited/ That's it really. I'm blogging for the sake of blogging. More often than not I blog to whinge about my stupid body, but I'm resisting the urge - trying to do that less as I'm sure it must get pretty boring for other people. So found out that the appraisal I spent ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/11/ug/ I know it's a good thing to have the opportunity to write your own appraisal, so why am I not jumping for joy at the prospect of spending my Sunday writing mine? :) 3 weeks of term left to go..... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/08/self-appraisal/ This is so odd... I can't *wait* to come back to England... I had a taste of 'normality', shopping for Xmas trees at B&Q, watching telly on a Saturday night with wine and nibbles cos there's nothing else to do, sleeping with the window open to let COOL air in...  ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/05/weird-feeling/ Back in Yangon. It's getting back to normal, we're back at work and teaching again which feels a bit strange, but it's probably best for the kids to have a bit of normality.  Not sure we've really had a chance to process everything that's happened. It feels like this big thing that ... http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/06/01/im-back/ Pics are now available HERE of Cyclone Nargis.  Please don't use them, especially if you are a journalist! Just ask me nicely :) By the way, my photo gallery is now relocated at smugmug.  Thanks Mark! http://www.blackroseimmortal.com/blog/2008/05/09/pictures-of-the-cyclone/
