I was up in time to get dressed and to breakfast by 8.30. I ordered boiled eggs and they were much nicer than the ones in Cornwall. The women were very keen to make sure I was happy. I packed up, checked out, left my bag with them for the day, got directions to the bus stop, and headed out. The bus stop was around the corner and the citi 3 bus took a while to come. I saw a bit of the suburbs before getting off near the bus station. I turned left in the main street and immediately went in search of employment agencies and real estate agents.
I found eight employment agencies and took their cards and jotted down the best way to register. I found a few estate agents but only a couple had rentals. The prices for all but the shares were shocking. I bought a paper and had a quick walk around the shopping streets before I had to find the bus stop. It took a while to find the right place to get the right bus and to work out where I wanted to go back to (der!). I eventually worked it out with two bus drivers and got back to Oakley Lodge at about 12.30. Dave was supposed to pick me up at 12.45 but was delayed until 1.30. I got my bag and waited in the foyer. It was a clear day and very cold, but the sun through the window was toasty.
Dave found it eventually and drove me home to their house - Crown House in Wereham, north of Ely. We had a cup of tea and I met the dogs, Luke and Daisy. Dave went back to work in his office, and I set about making some lunch in the unfamiliar kitchen. I then sat down in the lounge room with my diary and the paper.
Lynda and Andrew came home not long after and Andrew played Warhammer with his friends. Lynda made a cup of tea and we chatted. Lynda went to make dinner so Dave and I chatted - well, I interrogated him about the internet and how best for me to connect. We had yummy tuna steaks for dinner and vegetables, after some champagne. Dave opened some red too, and lit the fire. We must have just chatted and drank after dinner. It was a fairly late night.
