The last day of work before 11 days off, I'm at Kew Gardens (working) and the sun is shining and it's pretty hard to stay motivated to database fern specimens, but I'm doing my best with some good BBC radio programs in my ears. Last weekend we took a short train journey to the lovely town of Guildford, as seems to be our Rite of Spring.
We visited Chris's cousin who is in her last year of studying Math at the university there. We had tea on the 5th floor of House of Fraser (a department store). The sun came out just after we finished, but we had a nice view of the city and I had a "Very English Tea" and Welsh rarebit. We walked around the town a bit doing some shopping then went to Christiana's house where I crocheted and practiced my Greek listening skills, gearing up for the trip to Cyprus this Sunday.Two nights ago I came home to this lovely sight:
It's my anniversary present from Chris, a nice organized sewing area! He got the shelves, the 3 baskets and the lovely Japanese style lantern. Now I can vertically organize my sewing and knitting supplies together. He even managed to keep it *almost* a surprise this year, only spilling the beans by letting me know that I should expect something, but I had no idea what. Now the room really feels like a proper organized space, with his desk for him and my craft area. Tommorow is a national holiday, Good Friday and Easter are both what are called Bank Holiday's, and then the following Friday and Monday are off for the Royal Wedding and May Bank Holiday respectivly. We are leaving for Cyprus on Monday for 10 days there. I've been taking Greek courses once a week since January so I'm excited to go and have a better framework for understanding everyone. Hopefully I'll come back with enough skills to impress my class next semester!Next time I'll be posting from Cyprus, Cheerio!
