Finally got to go visit Wimbledon village for a contract of a week in length.

Haygarth a large media agency got me working on their Gillette contract. I still didn't find where the tennis was at !

Day 3 of my Montreal trip, getting up early for the hike was no problem, grace of Francis I had a great comfortable bed and slept well until my alarm went off, but it was roughly the time I had been sleeping until 5.30 am.

We were hiking with a club and as myself and Aline were Europeans we had to fill out the green visa waiver I know so well since I was 19 ! it hasn't changed in all of 15 years !
We set off and I enjoyed seeing the gorgeous countryside around, I like to see the houses and neat little farms around new areas and this is one of the joys of travelling. This area is not a poor one on either side of the border and you can tell by the sign posts and how much money the council have for keeping things nice. Check out the town of keen sometime, its like being in a movie, indeed lake placid is around the corner. Continue reading "Montreal days 3 and 4"

Day 2 of Montreal saw me awake to English time still, time for a run. I had banked on finding the bike path from yesterday to orient myself which I thought I had done but I joined up to the wrong path and ran in the wrong direction. It took me 10 minutes to realise and another 15 to get back to where I wanted to be Park de la fontaine.., then I ended up only doing a single circuit at risk of not making it back, but I pushed a few boundaries like I need to start doing. It really tired me out and I had to lay down for a couple of hours, this was fine as Aline was working and we were going to bike ride around and see mount royal in the afternoon. The weather like here was changeable but the showers there passed quick. I decided to go shopping that morning for family and friends and me got a nice blue shirt see..

Took a whirlwind tour to somewhere that has been on my list for a while- Montreal. I have been lucky with the cost of my flight and had been seeing that returns went for 650 + so when I found one for just over 200 I had to go call it destiny ?

This entry is day 1 thursday of 4 days..

Leaving robs was weird, I'd not been there long and may be back depending on room work etc, all the stuff I lack control over. Its this stuff therefore that tends to control me, the uncontrollable. But I keep my flexibility which im happy right now to ditch in turn for a year in Maida Vale in truth.

Lost a good place in maida vale, am up for another but its getting really long winded and taking the energy out to get this sorted. Also im out of contract after today so will head back to cambs the rest of this week if nothing comes up. Crossed over some of robs boundaries and I his, we are all sorted on that now I think and things are cool more effort required on our parts. I had a good long run which took 35 mins at a good pace and then had my normal weight workout. It seems to be working and this will only motivate me more.

I had a two week contract with Publicis in baker street and while im searching for my place in Maida Vale i'm staying with Rob.

Robs cat loves bringing mice in alive and soemtime headless and mauled. Its a bit out of town and im having to rely on the train but and one day a big delay meant that i met lloyd.

On the drive back, I wasnt particularly tired yet, I took a call and had a job lined up for a tuesday start at Publicis in baker street.

This was an interesting week caught up with some friends and stayed on couches of friends that week, thanks guys. This week into my second week with publicis, the rain has kept me indoors.

Saturday I did do a 1 km run followed by a km swim followed by a 1km run back home, had my swim stuff on my back, the first time I have run with a backpack, was not too bad.

My car battery died and this was cause for concern this past week end, but It was fine and got me home from the airport last week end.

This morning its monday and I stayed at robs, and will this week. It was an easy run in to baker street and I will learn about a new region radlett. I have decide to give up alcohol this week and do some light weight training and hopefully get out for a run.
