Being a bit too British

I was going to post this 'elsewhere' but changed my mind.

Staying in a hotel in Shrewsbury that I regularly stay in, small, family run, glorified B&B really.

Just done the typical British thing, of not really complaining when something is wrong. I'm in a different room, but still got the freeview, had been here half an hour and the pipes started banging; tried to do all sorts, turned the radiator down, ran the hot water tap, but it didn't stop so went and told the owner. But did it in quite an apologetic, sorry its my fault sort of way. He went straight to the room next door and adjusted something. Fixed it. So off I went for something to eat. Came back and there it was again. If I was American, I'd have demanded a different room; and some money back etc. But they were so apologetic, I couldn't. It's something to do with the people next door adjusting the valve on their radiator, somehow affects mine and I get an airlock. That and the fact that I'm coming back here again, and otherwise it suits me fine.

New Year, new start.

Have packed my lovely new holdall ready for the journey to Shropshire, complete with all the little toiletries. I'm also taking some card and my camera, as I want to re-use a lot of this years cards. Maybe treat myself to a cuttlebug.

But actually, having succumbed to the lurgy, haven't been updating anything very much.

So need to work out challenges for the year, goals for the future etc. for another blog I'm part of. I also need to update CV, and maybe do an online course.
