Lazy Day

It has been a bit of a lazy Sunday, not much happening. Did go for a walk to Crowthorne and back, which was about the extent of my energy. I think the last week has caught up with me a bit, but I am re-charging for the week ahead hopefully :0)
I have done a bit [...]

Things are going well at Rio Tinto so far. I have only worked for 2 days for the last couple of weeks and spent a bit of time getting laptop set-up, logging helpdesk calls and today, having some IT training. They have some excellent systems, especially ones which synch the email and phone, quite seemlessly, [...]

Actually, I’m afraid it is more like goodbye than hello. Departed lovely Rodos today at lunchtime, and after a smooth flight to Gatwick and train back to Crowthorne, I am back! I would have to say this rates as one of the best trips I have done :0) The tour guide was excellent (thanks Andy), [...]

Just in Rhodes, or Rodos as the locals say! Had a bit of a sleep in this morning and a late breakfast and then walked from the hotel into to Rhodes. Took about 45 mins, pretty warm, but a very pretty walk along the waters edge. Had a bit of a look around and bought [...]

Rhodes – Greece

It didn’t take me long, to track down the internet cafe in Rhodes, Greece, right next door to the Hotel Cosmopolitan, where I am staying for the week. Flight over was different, they ran out of meals and there was chaos as everyone had to raid the snack cart – I had chips and chocolates [...]

Just a quick one from Gatwick Airport, on route to Rhodes! At a £2 for 20mins internet, so will make it snappy! Had to get up at 3am this morning! Transfer to airport by 4am and somehow managed to fast-forward myself in the check-in line, so all checked in and through in 15mins! Now have [...]
