Pastures new

My wife started her new job yesterday. As with most new jobs she's done nothing so far apart from being introduced to her new colleagues and lots of reading material to get acquainted with the new environment.

It's good that she's settling in gently as she has been quite ill with for a few days now. Banging headaches, very sore throat and ulcers at the back of her mouth. Once this clears up I know she'll enjoy the new post. It's in Tonbridge, a larger town than she worked in for the last job, so there is more to do at lunchtime.

Tonbridge has a ruined castle and walls. The River Medway runs through it, under the High Street in a couple of places and there's a nice big park so plenty. Shops are OK.

I used to know Tonbridge quite well as I did my catering studies there. Learned to cook and still enjoy it but the long hours and crap wages soon made me shift into IT. It's a shame since I enjoy the kitchen and restaurant camaraderie but not the slavery that passes for a job. I used to work from 6am 'til midnight for a pittance. No life for a family man.
