Right!! Holiday over. Back to being, to give myself my new official title, an Architectural draughtsperson. Who has been given a pay rise, following an inquiry into the discrepancy in my wages and offered a permanent job. Which, unfortunately, I cannot accept.

Although, if there are any AutoCAD geniuses out there who like the sound of working in Cyprus for 1 or 2 years, earning a decent wage for the island, then let me know! I'll pass interest on.. I would take the job if I intended to stay and live in Cyprus or if I wasn't about to finish my MEng. As it is, i can't take a year out mid-studies.

So the rest of the trip was fun- bar one day when both my friends were completely drunk and I wasn't- having to drive home via the motorway. Everyone else seemed to be driving dangerously and too fast so I was already stressed from avoiding imminent collisions when my pals in the back seat thought it appropriate to scream songs and to tickle me whilst on the motorway. Then, three cars in front of me- a crash happened. Having to do an emergency stop, flip the hazards on and avoid other cars seems to demand quite a bit of concentration.... it didn't seem to deter my fiends from their hour of play however.

The hightlight was going to a beach near Kantara castle where the sedimentary rock on the shoreline has been eaten away by the salty water. It's beautiful- forming shallow lagoons of warm sea water rife with small fish and green transluscence.

And then, I found a tonne of salt drying on the rocks, so I took it home to dry in the sun and it's lovely as a crust for fish suppers...

Anyway.. as I said earlier.. i'm back to work. Not yet settled in a routine as it's only been a day or so. Tonight i have a greek class. It'll be scary but fun! Oh, and other news- I've nearly finished my geekology film! Once it's up and running I'll post a link, promise
Right.. back to work. This facotory won't design itself.
