April in review


Wow it's been a while since I last wrote anything, which, boys and girls, is a sign of a busy life! Yes, it's been a whirlwind of events lately. And I find myself more than halfway through May to a point where it's getting a bit hard to think back on my life a few weeks ago. But lets give it a shot nonetheless, shall we?

The grand event in April was our trip to Morocco. It was the setting in stone of this new chapter in our lives. The new job brought a world of hope with it and we could see so many new milestones practically within our grasp, a life with proper holiday getaways such as a short trip to Morocco. The trip itself was absolutely amazing - two days in Marrakesh and two days in the desert. I rode a camel even though I'm massively scared of heights. We spoke a mish-mash of several languages put together. We dared to explore a country that put us way out of our comfort zone, where if you got lost you had no way to even read the street signs. Where food and customs were so different from our own. And we had a great time!

In April I celebrated three months at the new job. Still massively in love with it, every day a bit more. Everything about it is still perfect and it is with great joy that I get up every monday morning and head off to another fun day doing my job around such great people.

In terms of leisure this was the month when we started exploring a bit more. We had a falconry session somewhere in Sheffield. We explored some of our local restaurants. We went abroad. We discovered new places and new things to do in the Midlands.

Also there was Lent. 40-odd days with no chocolate. To be honest I never truly believed I could pull it off all the way to the end, but somehow I persevered through the whole thing, for which I am massively happy! And now who knows? The sky is the limit when you realise that most of your short-comings and limitations are only in your head.

And that's it for April, boys and girls. Soon enough there'll be another month for me to reflect upon, so let me get on with my life, shall I?
