Well, I've been here now for 2 full days (or more, I can't tell). I finally got a decent nights sleep! Amazing how having at least 7 hours (contiguous I might add) of sleep can make a body feel good. I think I'm finally caught up with normal time, tho sleep deprived still.
Last night went out with a few friends and coworkers after work and had a really good time. Went to this fun bar across the street called "3 Jolly Butchers". Typical Irish pub from the looks of it. Good Guinness, tight cramped atmosphere. Then walked over to a restaurant (can't quite remember the name) and that was indeed a cramped space but great food and company. By the 2nd Guinness I was nodding off and couldn't wait for bed. Had the venison chili which was so good along with a corn n polenta mash. Bit bland, but worked it into the chili. Was a really fun evening.
I wish I could say the same for this office move we've just completed. Unfortunately, it looks like our phone company, BT (British Telecom) really sucks. They've not configured our phone lines properly, nor our internet connection. So, while I wanted to nap yesterday I was dealing with all sorts of problems with them. My coworker has been fabulous and so helpful. Getting me whatever I need while she's helping the office manager. However, by Saturday afternoon we got it all working. I was totally falling asleep at dinner, but it's now all working.
Been very very cold here (30s) and even had a bit of sleet the other day. The streets are cramped n tiny and I have no idea how anyone drives over here. The town is quite cute and I can see why it's a touristy spot. I'm looking forward to spending tomorrow (Sunday) just wandering around and seeing more of it.

Sunday -- Weather is miserable! Very bitter cold and very wet out there today! Woke up rather late and met up with my coworker to run some errands and then ate a fabulous place called Nia's on 87-88 Trafalgar St here in Brighton. Great food and coffee. Ahhh the bacon. After brunch we came back to the office to do a bit more work and then decided we needed to get a manicure. Was quite a bit of fun and even got a couple of my nails painted black. Matte black, thank you very much.
We were both so wiped out that we each went to our separate apartments and made dinner for ourselves and I promptly fell asleep at 6, only to wake up starving at 8 and made myself a bite before heading off to bed.

Monday morning came around way too quickly I have to say. But, we got here in plenty of time to start getting everything finalised before the rest of the work folk showed. by the time lunch arrived at 1.00 everyone was pretty much at their desk being productive. I love that sorta day.
Back to work!
