Proactivity and holidays

Apologies for lack of bloggage. Tho it's about time you wrote me an email or facebook msg too (I'm looking at you Spearo). Recently I have been wildly proactive.

• Joined a football team, and not just that, but a proper Sunday league with refs and home and away fixtures and everything. First training sesh was this afternoon. We are going to be terrible. I have bought new boots. They are very sexy. They will make me look good on the bench.
• Been meeting singers. Result: several extra bonus friends, someone to teach me guitar technique in exchange for piano (woo!), and free recording facilities at the weekend... providing I get my arse to zone 3. (All musicians live in zone 3. This is because they are musicians.) Also met new girl at work. She is singer, "likes my myspace", and invites me to jam on Wednesday. Bingo.
• Speaking of work, they are expanding and were interviewing candidates to join my team. Annabel and I objected to boss' ideas of bringing in more people like us, i.e. EMT with degrees in foreign languages, and demanded that he go for foreign mother tongue people instead. Result: we now have a German guy starting soon, and hopefully an Italian girl too. I will be able to improve my German and Italian working with them and this makes me very happy.
  
• Obtained Reading FC member card. Went to West Ham game. Lost heavily. Bad.
• Determined, if I am spending £50 a pop on tickets and travel, to see Reading win a game. Needed to select match with biggest likelihood of this occurring. Plumped for Derby at home, next month. Surely we can't lose that one?
  
• Holidays. Due to judicious holiday planning, I still have 20 days left this year. Where should I go?
