waiting for monday

some wierd tea stuff

monday is payday - we'll finally have some cash again. We're OK financially, but we're having to be pretty tight for the last week or so. However, until we're off the probationary salary, it'll still be pretty tight until we can get our real salary.

Case in point, we were planning to spend a couple of days at the end of the month in Nagasaki - It's not too far away, and we were prepared to do it all on a shoestring, but at the end it looks like our laces are too short even for that... It'll be all good in another couple of months, but until then I think that it's daytrips only. Oita deserves another trip, as only I have been there, and I spent most of that day training.

But, it's all good apart from that - watched a rough edit of Luke and Alex's film, which was good (if somewhat inscrutable) and we've been getting re-acquainted with the lovely mac and all its televisual goodies. That, and speaking to people on Skype (including a just-about-to-go-to-work Mikko - sorry!) has made it a pretty good week.
