I do have good news, but it's not as good as it could have been. Still good though
I didn't get the job I was interviewed for, but someone resigned and I've been offered their post instead. The thing is, it was only funded until the end of November... They're looking for additional funding, so fingers crossed! I'm now in a bit of a dilemma about what to do for the best... escape where I am now, but then potentially be unemployed, or stick with it. I'm thinking of taking a month's leave ('personal issues' sounds good) then seeing what happens...
Re. Giant's Head - I'm sort of tempted to attempt the marathon. There's no cut off (I think?) and it's quite a nice area for a walk 
Laminators - hours of fun!
