For the next two weeks I'm staying in Dorset, UK... an hours' bus journey from Salisbury. My accomodation is quite poor; no mobile phone reception within a km, an internet cafe that never seems to be open, etc... and the shower has no temperature control... this morning, I turned all the hot-water taps on to full, put all the showers on and it didn't make the shower I wanted come down to a less-than-scolding temperature. Ridiculous.

I expect temporary accomodation to have dribbling lukewarm showers that I can at least try to wash under... not high-powered, scalding water that I can't bear!

Anyway, I'm not very mobile so don't think I'll be able to meet anyone apart from a few work colleagues who are in the area.

First day of my month-long work in Blandford, Dorset, UK was nice and slow. It was, however, only an introduction and admin day. There were hints that will be a lot of learning to do over the next four weeks! Anyway, we knocked off before 3pm, so I went and spent two hours in the gym.

Was using my wireless headphones :p
