I hardly every get the chance to post things up here as Mark always gets in there first, but when you read this and see the typing and spelling mistakes you know why!!. So now its springtime in Boston, people are out in their summer clothes(but you still see people in their winter coast scarfs and all!), the birds are singing and all is well!!. Its so nice not to have to bundle up in at least five layers before you go out, then you still get windchill on any part of skin exposed. So now we can walk to the Charles river with a brew and watch the world go by. The leaves are beining to appear on the trees, tree pollen is high (yipee!) and they have filled the ponds up again in the common!, oh and the Ducks are running again.
We have been on a ticket buying frenzy lately, Pearl Jam, Snow Patrol and MADONNA!!, its fab being able to walk to a venue rather than driving into Leeds or Manchester, and we had forgotten how loud the Americans are especially at the arenas, When we saw Coldpaly last week the noise really added to it and made it memorable, even though Chirs Martin hit a few iffy notes, its' still in the top five!. New Hampshires fun, very different to Boston, quiet and parts close on Saturday lunchtime until Monday!. Yep and the Pancake sweats, ugh, well worth it, you should see the photos!.
Work is going well, I work with some lovely people and I am learning a lot, but I do miss the NHS!. Most peole think I'm Irish, must be the hair and my charm!. The Drs are very young looking and they all wear white coats. But they have all the same problems as home, nursing shortage and MRSA so nothing new there. They use abbreviations a lot, which is funny, they all laugh at my careplans and comment on the Englsih spellings and the correct grammor!.
We are both trying to get fit in two ways, one as you may know I have entered the lottery to do the NYC marathon in November, (will find out in June) so we have been running a bit, I can run around in my Man U shirt without fear of attack!. Marks bought a basket ball and shoots hoops in the mornings when I go to work and I have started doing Yoga. The other training is drinking!, we need our drinking legs for June, as at the moment after a pint we're giddy and after two we're in our PJs watching telly!, do'nt worry we will put the time in!.
Well I have finished my Grande non fat latte from Starbucks, ( I am now on first name terms with some of the staff in our local one, well just one young man who Marks now called my fancy man!) so I will be off. We are getting giddy as mums and dads are coming soon, more eating and drinking to be done!.
See you all soon xxx
