New biker in town

OK so I've had it for a couple of weeks now. I've got a new motorbike. it's a Yamaha 125YBR Custom. Basically think of a old style motorcycle with a tear drop petrol tank. All in red and chrome. I got a good 0% deal so no problems using money I'm saving for the skiing trip. and as it brand new I shouldn't have too many maintenance worries.

I've been out on it a couple of times now including a few to work. London traffic is very hard work and getting between my flat and work (only 7.7miles) take me the best part of an hour. This is partly the traffic and the lights and partly because its very easy to get lost and stuck in the wrong lane.

Hopefully we get plenty of sunny days so I can get out and about!

In Mourning and the Grand plan

Good friends are leaving work.

Despite all the success factors: well paid job, a secure home, good family and friends, living in a busy and vibrant city. I been in a depressed and sad state for a while and now I think I know why, I think I'm in mourning. Let me explain. A lot of my social life revolves around work and people are going. The work atmosphere is not as good as it used to be. Now I start to see all the people who have left, to see the gaps in the office rather than the people that are there. Perhaps its a normal reaction so all the change, it's just a bit sad that's all.

And now both my friends Emma and Suli are going which is going to be hard

Anyway I told them about my plans to go and finish my ski instructor course. so now I suppose I actually have to do it...
