Scattered Strawberry Summer: weekend

Sunday Walk

Finally we had some sunshine, we used this opportunity to have a nice long walk on South Downs and along the seafront. Sun was lovely but the wind was very chilly, but that's nothing unusual.

We walked around 12.5km, not too bad at all. I think we'll be making this a regular Sunday activity, especially now the summer is coming and the weather is only going to get better.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. I had visitors from Germany- my parents. They've only been here once, when I graduated from university which now seems to be ages ago- 5 years in July. Eeasyjet have made this trip difficult by cancelling Gatwick-Düsseldorf route for some reason. Now I won't be able to visit as often as getting to Heathrow is not as easy and it wouldn't be as cheap but I digress.

First day they arrived we had a perfect spring day, lots of sunshine, hardly any breeze. We went for a walk on the Downs. I was surprised there was hardly any wind up there either, it just doesn't happen very often even on the nicest days. There were a lot of people, not a surprise considering it was a bank holiday.

We walked over 8k. Not too bad, not too bad at all. We ended up in Willingdon, such a nice neighbourhood. I would love to live in a place like that.

Saturday weather was a complete opposite, cloudy and with cold winds. Not that it surprises me at all! We did some shopping and had lunch. My parents wanted to have fish&chips again, you can't get anything like that in Germany. We ended the day with nice Lithuanian food and dyeing Easter eggs

Sunday showed how ridiculous British weather can be.We left with sun shining but it soon disappeared behind clouds and I was glad I had my scarf on. We walked along the seafront and then suddenly had to find shelter as it started pouring. We went to a small cafe and ordered tea. That's then the sun came back and it was all lovely again.

Lots of food eaten but then lots of walking done too. I have so much chocolate in my house and I couldn't resist by some discounted Easter chocolate.

Cow Gap

cliffs

It might be end of September but the weather is still rather decent. We had a warm and sunny Saturday and decided to go for a nice long walk on the South Downs and put my walking boots to good use. We ended up at Cow Gap.

It is very rocky and slippery but fun at the same time. Definitely need to wear good walking boots here!

I never knew there was such a nice beach there. The lack of pebbles and the colour of the sea reminded me of Lithuania.

We walked just under 10k. I made up for all the calories burned by eating way too many milky ways when I got home.

All right, kids, I gotta get to work. If I don't input those numbers... it doesn't make much of a difference.

job

I guess summer is finally here, too bad it was one week late for me to enjoy whilst I was off from work. I had a decent weekend though. I spent my Saturday on the seafront with a friend. It was a fun day that we finished with mojitos. Sunday was an interesting day, I had to take pictures for my company's event ( I don't get paid for it though). It was quite fun, I met a local MP and mayor. I swear I will shoot in raw from now on, I loved the results.

Coming back to work after a holiday is not easy, Monday was OK but today it was pretty awful, I'm exhausted. There is so much backlog and too much drama in the office. My manager is off for a while, so that makes things even worse.

I didn't get into graduate scheme, I reached the final stage but didn't get through it. It's very disappointing,I spent so much time for this, it was a very long process, but it wasn't my dream job or anything so I guess it's not that bad. So I'm looking out for job adverts again, nothing interesting or relevant comes up. I could easily get similar job to what I'm doing now, but I'm looking for something degree related or graduate level, I'm tired of being under-employed. I'd probably could get a lot better job back home (connections +experience working abroad) but pay would be poor and quality of life significantly lower, I couldn't afford holidays or anything like that. Besides, I don't want to come back. Ever. If I ever move from UK, I'll move to a country with better weather, I'm quite satisfied with my life here, there are only two downsides: weather ,as I already said, and lack of job opportunities.

I'm thinking of going to Germany to visit my family, but this time I'd like to take my SO with me, would be much more fun.

only one day till weekend, which I'm looking forward very much, not only because it'd time off but also ,weather permitting, I'll take some pictures and I'm going to see Frankenstein (finally!!!)

quality of my life could be improved instantly if:

summer would finally come to England.
I would fine a nice flat to rent
panasonic would reduce the price of lumix lenses
I would see Cumberbatch in a play. live. yes.

This is the best idea I've seen this week.
