A rather boring but necessary catch-up!

Wow, it’s really been a while. The Boy was saying the other day that it’s been ages since I blogged, but it’s not because I don’t have anything to say, it’s just that I’ve been doing a lot of living recently and blogging falls by the wayside!

I’ve survived six months in surgery, and I’ve now moved from Big Teaching Hospital to Smaller District General which is a bit further away and where the pace of life is considerably slower! I’ve only been there a week, but it’s really not bad. The shifts are not very evenly distributed – I am on call every evening for 3 weeks (excluding weekends), and after one week of post-take shifts, I am back on call again. I had to fight a bit to get time off for the wedding (unbelievably!)  -  the rota authorities were true to their word and gave me the week off, but they also gave me a night shift the night before the wedding, and the weekend after it, when we were supposed to be on honeymoon! After some begging and a lot of swaps, I am now off from the tuesday morning before the wedding (after a night shift) to the monday after we get back from the honeymoon. Success!

Wedding wise, there’s only 5 weeks to go! We are very excited, it’s all coming together very well, we both have something to wear, lots of people are coming, and we’ve rented a flat on the north of the city which is costing a stupid amount of money considering neither of us is living there at the moment but was too good to let slip. It’s got all the things we/I wanted in a flat – 2 bedrooms, wooden floors, cornicing, a big fireplace, bay windows, brilliant!

So this is all very boring, to fill in the Massive Gap of No Blogging, and for that I apologise. I have been having thoughts, honestly, and I’ll try and get some of them down here. Until then, here is a thing I nicked off Elaine, who nicked it off Rachel…
