Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau, O bydded ir hen iaith barhau.

I shortly learned that they had prospered in the manner of corporate world as they astutely imparted me their permiting studies and demanding yet diligent careers. I have nothing more to add.

10.11.2014 Another unconventional day at work!

Wine and dine almost.

In the afternoon we had two catering providers to come to the Museum to dispense some sentiments and expertise as well as some food duly preliminary to our upcoming big event aka the launch. Hence I was indeed happy and privileged to nosh and afterwards we had to choose the ones we liked.



                                         


We spent the following evening in a pub drinking, eating and mingling. Special thanks goes to the boss.

9.11.2014 Stratford and the lost connection

Working here has been pleasant but there is nothing much to tell about as it is what it is. We keep on meeting eminent and imposing people who liaise with us one way or the other. On Monday we are commemorating the Museum and having a semi big venue to celebrate in.

For whatever reason the internet connection is poor night and day so I've mitigated my onus to impart my quotidian recapitulations. Instead I've sifted through slightly the old English history and and old English language. Anyhow on Friday 7th of November we were expecting two Japanese girls to stay here with us as well. They were somewhat shy yet audacious and they had also acquired food in abundance for us that they cooked themselves which went beyond our expectance. The girls were as young as 15.

Along dispensing some cultural differences and peculiar yet delectable courses we had a journey together to Stratford-upon-Avon were the exalted and magnificent William Shakespeare was Born.
In any case I was disrupted by the loud and discernible Lamborghini Aventador cruising around and  god forbid it was AWESOME! The whole market town was crowded with tourists. We went to see the theaters and there actually were three of them in vicinity of one another. Fortunately for us we got to see the parade conducting a march thru the whole town.
