I have 3 races off now.. in the sense that I am not flying out to any countries, but I will be working at the factory time shifted to wherever the rest of my team are. My time shifting starts tomorrow, which still means I can't catch up with my friends now that I'm back as by the time they finish work, I'll be going into work!
Therefore I'll spend my free time dreaming about where I'm going to next... still have Iceland in my head. I wonder when the best time to go there is.
So, I've just been to Spain for a week. Cheap and cheerful holiday. I have never been on a holiday before where I just sit around in the sun allllllllll day and jump into the pool when I get too hot... then back on the sunbed to chill (or, burn) some more and that's about it. I think being in a job where you are constantly on the move, teaches you to be able to sit down and do nothing when you can! So I was quite happy doing that this week. But I did learn something... that I can't go on a cheap and cheerful holiday again. I need to find remote places which aren't taken over by English people, where there is some culture and different foods to try. Places that you can see amazing sights that you would never be able to see in England and experience things that you can't experience at home, as well as having time to sit on a beautiful (quiet!) beach and take in the scenery and go through your thoughts without the shouts of "Waterpolo at 10:30, Come and join us" and drunk people in the night banging on hotel room doors shouting "let me innnnn" disturbing the peace.
The rest of my team have now got on a plane and are in Canada. It feels kind of weird to not be with them. But I'm glad in a way that I get some time to sort my stuff out back here and do what I need to back at the factory for the first time since I started my job a year ago. Also catch up on new faces at MTC and catch up with people I used to work with, who I haven't spoken to for months! My next GP is Germany, so am looking forward to a bit of normality (if there is any, in this job!) before I fly out again. Hopefully I'll get a bit of time to catch up with friends too! I've decided not to go to Silverstone this year as I work in the environment every week. I don't really feel like going camping now to go and watch our car go around the circuit from the middle of a field behind a wire fence. If I'm not covering that race from MTC I might try to get away on a long weekend somewhere.. :)
My mind is constantly travelling lately. In all senses of the word! I'm all over the place! Lots going on in my head with work and life in general. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can straighten things out while I have time to and understand what's going on in my roller coaster world right now! :) It's allll good though. All good things which are happening, I think... just can't get my head around something.. but I will :)
Now back to chilling and catching up on Desperate Housewives episodes :)
Blackberry is charged ready for any calls from Canada and am ready to go back to work to get back on it tommorow!
You don't have to promise me the moon or stars . . . just promise that you will stand under them with me.
