Autumnal equinox
Without realising, the autumnal equinox as defined by Western astronomy passed on 23 September thus making me beleive a change of season warrants a new blog posting.
Since last posting, a month has quickly passed with my graduate job. This new challenge is both demanding yet extremely exciting as I begin to understand and immerse myself into the intricacies of UK retirement. Further, the training offered and attention to employee satisfaction is surprisingly pleasing with a strongly competitive benefits package.
Working a full week, quickly makes one realise the importance of weekends. Afternoon tea at The Savoy, quaffing Hendrick’s gin on the balcony of the Oxo Tower and meeting University friends in London provides great enjoyment and perfect relaxation from work commitments. Needless to say, I still have managed to socialise occasionly on weekday evenings; going to the West End to watch Donkeys’ years (an hilarious comedy with simply perfect timing from all members of the cast) and attending a real ale festival are two occassions that instantly spring to mind.
As many of my friends return to Uniersity, I would like wish them a prosperous and peaceful term. Reflecting back on my time at York, I realise the importance of taking a full participation in societies. Particularly, I remember fondly to the Jazz Blues Fusion shows, which really propelled the Jazz and Blues society to be one of the most popular at the University. I thoroughly look forward to listening back to the shows in the coming few days.
