By the time we arrived in Venice, we were starting to feel more like wilted flowers in mid summer than the spring chickens we are. Jet lag plus a packed schedule of almost every waking hour was starting to catch up. Venice was still magical when we came out of the station though. A gondola Read More »
Ho there blogites!
It’s been hard to find time to write as my internet time is scattered and we’ve been working 12 hour days. Well…sometimes those last couple hours are spent at the pub, but the day is stressful sometimes and hey…we deserve those 2 hours of pub work. So last time I wrote I had Read More »
Our border crossing back in to Guatemala was less than pleasant. What was to be a more adventurous journey, cheaper and more scenic, was a journey in to the heart of darkness – more tortuous, more expensive and aside from the occasional glimpse of natural wilderness, more unattractive.

We hadn’t really known what to do today, the weather was poor and buses not as frequent because it’s a Sunday, but our host came to the rescue. He is going into Alnwick today to feed his daughter’s fish, so offers us a lift! This saves us calling a taxi and means we can have Read More »
After spending nearly six weeks locuming at Colchester General it was time to move to a new job in a new field of practice, in a new town closer to London, but still in Essex county. My new job was at Goodmayes Hospital, a mental health facility, where I’d be working with predominantly elderly clients. Goodmayes is Read More »

We arrived Thursday morning about 8 AM after an 8 hour flight from Dallas. That would be midnight Wednesday on California time. The flight was mostly smooth and went by quite quickly. Even though we were jet lagged, we pushed on and found a train from Gatwick airport to Victoria Station in Read More »
