(New) Home for a Rest
Made it down to Weymouth yesterday in the ridiculous, unimaginable heat that was London yesterday. I actually missed my train and tried to get my prepaid ticket changed but they said I would have to pay 40£. I think what happened though is the ticket guy, pardeep, saw me panting and sweating buckets with this giant backpack on, obviously tired and frustrated and he gave me a 7£ comp ticket! Pardeep, you loveable soul, if you read this you shold know that you're the man.
So I took the job at Smuggler's that they offered me and Paul. http://www.innforanight.co.uk/Smugglers_Think.asp I had an interview for a Sports Sales job on monday that kept me lingering in London before deciding. I don't think they liked my experience though. They wanted me for another interview but then I looked at London apartment prices and decided to come down here to the beach to stockpile some £££££ first. Now, i can remain with my heterosexual lifepartner, relax in some english countrysidey towns and learn to windsurf.
yeah, i hope to find some windsurf lessons here, or rentals and just try it on my own. On the train down I chatted with a 70 year old retired milkman (coolest job ever) who used to teach surf here and said that the wind out from shore is really great. I hope I get a chance!
Meanwhile, staying in staff accom with 3 romanians, 2 poles and some aussies. Long live mutliculturalism.
I'll post later to give you impressions on my first day at work which starts in 3 hours
Ciao

Make a dream of the milkman Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof come true! And if you learn to surf - it is even better.

From the journal entry of Wiktor Szoltysek of August 8, 1946 (started in Southampton):
7:15 - Departure [...] I am writing down the stations (not all of them unfortunately): Winchester, Bastingstone, Fleet Maldon, Wimbledon, Hamstead Heath, Gospel Oak, Kentish Town West, Camden Town, Cannonenburg, Hatford, Bentwood, Colchester, Ipswich, Storomarket, H. Edmunds, Ely, Brandon - we are getting off the train.

I am sure Paul is already working on the visiting plans. My suggestions are: Stonehenge, Bath, Wells - but first of all relax and look around for opportunities to influence people's lives in a positive way.
