Away for the week

Dear World,

Well I'm sitting here in my holiday inn express hotel room in Milton Keynes settling in for the night. I'm doing two things that I haven't really done before. One is drinking a cup of tea, and two is watching Coronation Street. Ok sorry I changed channel I decided I still don't really want to get into Coronation Street, but I've still got my tea! Instead I'm watching one of the many quiz shows on TV here. They're good though, they actually have what I classify as intelligent questions. Intelligent questions are ones where I can answer or guess about a fifth correctly.

Today I got and packed and was at the train station (courtesy of my love) waiting for my train at 7.40. I had to get three trains to get here, I feel like I've tripped over the country! My first train went to Sheffield first which feels like back tracking when going South, though it's not really! I went to Derby first then Birmingham then here Milton Keynes. This is my first business trip that I've done completely on my own bat so I feel quite grown up hehe... though I guess I was in Melbourne myself... though I didn't book any of that. Also in Melbourne I had a kitchen and didn't have to eat in a restaurant by myself this time I do. I managed ok today but that waits (for someone to take your order, bring your order, take your plate, bring the bill, bring your change) are more annoying when you're by yourself. Tomorrow I might take a book which I haven't seen anyone else do, but I don't really care!

Oooh yay! The university challenge is on. Now these questions are more than intelligent I can only ever answer like one! The program I was watching before I found out was called Mastermind if you're interested.

I must have someone else to talk about. I had lamb steak for tea. It was weird, it was apparently grilled but it was the same colour all the way through so I think it was pre-cooked. Which I don't mind as I'm not fussy about food, it was just weird as I only ever normally have roast lamb. I then had a chocolate popcorn cheesecake for desert, I don't think I should have desert again, just have it as a treat for the first night.

Ok well sorry that was boring. I'm bored though so it was fitting.

Oh wait I thought of something, Darren and I watched Apocalypto last night and I quite liked it - it wasn't phenomenal but was enjoyable! It had subtitles but there wasn't a huge amount of talking, and that actually worked out ok as our sound got out of sync with the picture during the film.

Ok goodnight (don't be confused by the time, I'm writing this offline and will be posting it when I get to work in the morning!).

Love from Mindy

ps Miss you Darren!
