OK. I am going to see a house on Saturday which looks like it would be perfect for next year, so with any luck I'll have that settled on the spot and move in on Friday of next week. Fingers crossed. On the plus side, it looks like I'm going to be able to work from home once I have moved (well, once they've set up the ISDN line and things like that) which would mean that I could avoid the only downside of living in Oxford - the commute. Not bad eh. I suppose that from the company's point of view its much cheaper to provide me with a laptop and ISDN than a desk in central London and nearly all of the stuff I do is just coding - stuff that I don't need to be in the office (or anywhere in particular in fact) to do. All I have to do it be around for meetings. Once again, fingers crossed.
Still feeling a bit ill and very tired - didn't sleep well last night cos of blocked up nose. Hopefully I'll be able to give it a kick a bit more today and get some more rest. Definitely an early night I feel.
I had the most bizarre experience yesterday. As I was walking along St Giles to see some estate agents I bumped into James Brookes who I haven't seen for about 3 years! We went to school together but then he went off to York uni and after one meet in the summer of my first year I haven't seen him since. Apparently he'd moved into Oxford the day before - his girlfriends doing a librarianship course at St Hughes! It was just so strange - it felt completely out of context. Still, we had a really good chat and I've promised to show him round when I have finally moved - it'll be cool to have a chance to be mates again.
