Time for an update

There's been a bit going on!
Ok, Knowledge update. I have managed 6 runs in the last couple of weeks. Not much, but given the changes we have been undertaking acceptible I think. My only problem has been the calling over. When I get home, either I'm too tired or Carla is or Frankie is hungry.. I'm sure you get the picture! So I'm making a concerted effort to retain a semblance of normality to my life (And knowledge)
To this end I have taken the decision to leave TWC in the very near future. As it stands I would have left in January anyway to take care of Frankie while Carla returns to work, and I want to complete all 320 runs by January 2012 if possible. That way when the time comes, I will be pointing (Finding all of the points of interest and learning there whereabouts and committing that to memory. All 32,000 of them...!) 3 days per week and that in turn will see me start my appearances some time mid 2012. Currently I feel I will have wasted this summer by staying at TWC and working on the knowledge. All this is of course open to interpretation until I actually hand in my notice!

I also have my self assessment test booked with the public carriage office on July 22nd. This is purely a way to find out how the systenm works at the PCO and in no way has a bearing on my appearances or schedule on the knowledge. As it's a self assessment, you mark yourself, but it IS a good indicator as to how you're progressing.

So all in all a pretty busy time of upheaval (But in a good way)

Lastly, a couple of pictures of my girls. Well I couldn't really miss an opportunity could I??

Looking like Hitler's son!

A day out in Lakeside.. The only way is Essex stele!
