It's another public holiday, this one is for the end of WW2.... now I am back from Helsinki, and about to go to WH Smith and buy some newspapers and maybe some books, I just feel like having a restful afternoon, I was tired when I got back last night.

One thing, our delightful new employer, a very large company indeed, has managed to assign me a "buddy" - we are all supposed to have buddies to help us settle in, the people in the UK have been waiting since January to get theirs. So I was pretty impressed to get one so quickly, the only problem is that he is in Nicosia! After them getting my name wrong at the orientation, I was a bit miffed, to say the least.
