Adulthood Can Be A Fickle B@stard

It’s that time again, for a (really rather very) behind the times catch up.

I hadn’t quite realised how long it’s been since I last did one of these, nearly a year. Since that time, I’ve moved to New Zealand, spent around 6 months exploring all it had to offer. Of which a collection of photos can be found on my new Through A Lens page. As one of the things the trip allowed me to do was discover my enjoyment in photography again, albeit the outcomes are probably nowhere near as good as I think they or hope they are. It was just fun to be behind a lens again.

Since returning to fair old blighty I relocated to Bristol, and began working at Moon Architect Builder as a Part II Architectural Assistant. In a position which enabled me to learn so much more about working through the technical stages and having a direct responsibility and connection to what was going on on-site. A lass that was not meant to be, various factors (insert B.EXIT word here) leading to a huge downsizing of the company mere months after my initial employment. So as all people do in their lives at one point or another, I came face to face with the joys of redundancy.

On the positive side, I moved from the office to smashing ten hells out of a variety of buildings across Bristol. Which was brilliant, as during the frustrating times of trying to find employment I was gifted an outlet for my stress in the form of a sledge hammer and a free gym membership, which was also in the form of a sledge hammer. I enjoy demo work and hammers, especially when it involves massive pieces of Steel. For a brief write up on my site experience and a few lines about what I learnt, head over to my Getting Hands On Page.

That’s probably enough for now, as having written this part I’ve now given myself 3 other posts to write in a short period of time. Better get to it as the Six Nations is on soon, and I’d quite like to have a pint.
