| Still not quite there but I'm here... |
| Wednesday, 23 April 2008 |
I'm so excited I can barely type... Yikes!
Ok, so I haven't been here properly for ages and it wasn't all my fault. I've got lots and lots happening at the moment, generally all good stuff too!
I'll try and put it all down but it may not make much sense, I generally don't anyway!
***************************************************************
I completed my initial training and have been signed off for independent patrol. I was due to start in the eastern area until the training department told us that we'd be going on attachments till the end of our probation. So I now have 5 lots of 13 week attachments in various places like CID, etc. My first one started this week, it's the Outer London posting which means I'll be working somewhere far, far away where there's lots of sheep and cows. Basically it takes me two and a half hours to travel each way, hence the extreme lack of time. I spend 5hrs of my day travelling to and from work, 8 - 10hrs working and the rest is all about sleeping. Sad really...
The joke about it? I was given a wildlife guide and a safari hat by my housemates...never mind reading the Beat Officer's Companion!
***************************************************************
I'm off home to Brazil in three days time and am extremely excited about that too! I started packing last night and I can barely contain myself...I'll be away for 3 weeks tanning myself up in Rio and enjoying my grandma's cooking!
Plus I have my friend's wedding to go to...I can't wait!!!
***************************************************************
I'm feeling something that I haven't felt in a long time...the butterflies in your stomach everytime you think of someone. This someone I've known for a couple of years and only now things have started to happen. A few dates later and I think I may be a little smitten! Timing sucks though as I'm going home this weekend and three weeks after I come back he's away for four weeks. But I'm happy, been walking around with a smile on my face since Saturday!
***************************************************************
I moved to my new flat nearly three weeks ago now and am loving it. It's a pretty little place and me a my flatmates are still going strong, nearly 4 years since we first moved together! :-)
Things have just fallen into place recently and I am now able to find where my things are...yey!
TUPC - haven't moved east...still very much a south londoner!
***************************************************************
The plus point of being so busy and sometimes a little stressed is that I've lost some weight. I say some but I actually lost over a stone in the last two months and the worrying thing is a) I wasn't even trying to b) I didn't notice it. My tutor has had a quiet word with me to check that I'm ok. Apparently people were asking him about my weight loss. It was only then that I stepped on the scale and noticed how my trousers are falling off me! I can't complain...
***************************************************************
I think that just about sums it up. I'll try and 'show my face' around your blogs and I have a list of new addresses to put on the side bar...I'll get there one day!
My little darlings, whilst you endure life in the UK (or wherever you may be) I'll be walking around with the Ipanema girls in Rio, sunnying myself up and acquiring the so loved tan lines :-).
I'm sure I'll get back to you at some point during the next three weeks but in case I don't, cheerio! |

Dear all, thank you for your messages of support left for me in the last post. Unfortunately I forgot to mention previously that I was due to move. Having now been settled in my new pad for nearly two weeks my internet connection is still due to be sorted out "tomorrow", according to my dearest supplier!
I'll be back soon...am missing this!
Take care! |

Name: bawpc

About Me: I know how to let my hair down, I know when to be responsible, I drink, I party, I understand committment, I dread relationships, I dream and I cry when my dreams don't come true. I'm young, yet grown up, I'm scared yet brave, I'm pretty yet the little ugly duckling, I can love, I know how to hate, I'm passionate, compassionate, impatient, fiery. I share, I talk, I love (again), I like to be on my own, I like companionship. I'm complicated...because I'm only human.
