The wedding gets nearer…

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

Working away in the new contract with a few bites for future work turning up…

Yings parents are also here, so I’m picking up bits of Chinese (they don’t speak English!) . Also here is Yings 4 year old niece - she’s a sweety but can be a bit of a handful when you get back from work and just want to slob out. So far I haven’t succeeded in achieving that, but I have been to the playground in Bramcote park!

Ying is still making her wedding dress and its coming along quite nicely. I have no idea about how she’s doing it so I just look in from time to time to make sure she’s doing ok… :)

New Job

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

Well, I took the contract job, as with a wedding coming up I needed the money! On the plus side, because I got another job so quickly I’m getting twice the money this month… that really helps paying off some wedding costs, so I’m counting this as a blessing in disguise.

So, the new job is at the University of Nottingham writing software to generate automated contracts. Fiddley, but not difficult, and I get to do it my way, and not as someone else has designed it. On the whole not too bad!
