The Drive

So most of you know, or maybe you don't, that I'm starting a job as a Trainee Air Traffic Controller tomorrow. Training doesn't start at the college, it's at a very posh place called "New Place" in the middle of Hampshire, not far from company HQ: Swanwick.

I drove down today, bringing a good proportion of my belongings. It is a long drive and I passed the time listening to the radio mainly, of course the England team played earlier. I got onto the A34 and was listening to Annie Mac at about 1500 an hour before the match and she had a boasting sunday event in which you may text a boast about what you're doing that day to the rest of the UK. Of course after pulling over in some services I texted that I was moving to Southapton to get a brand new job etc etc and she gave me a shout out! How cool is that! Thing is I only found out about it later when someone on my course asked me if I was the Si from the radio. I was gutted and will strive to listen as soon as I can online.

So the place we're all at (52 of us) is very posh. We all have our own en-suite rooms and the food ain't half bad. Drinks: £3.20 per pint! so a bit more than I'm used to. Going to get to bed as I've much to do tomorrow
