Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do much writing this week as I have been slightly distracted. So I decided to do a short 'highlights of the week' piece.
Geocaching
On Sunday (September 25th) I saw my brother, Martin, because we had spontaneously decided to go geocaching. For those who do not know - Geocaching is a worldwide game in which players must head out into the 'real world' and use the GPS on their phones to locate GeoCaches hidden by other players. My brother and I headed out following the slightly inaccurate GPS to the locations of the hidden caches. When you arrive at the location of a cache you are given a small clue as to where you might find the cache. Cache #1 was hidden in a monument inside of a garden - we had to reach into a hole in the monument are across a box. The box was full of many strange items that other players had left. We wrote our names in the log book and continued on. Over the course of the day, we found four GeoCaches and just bonded over brotherly conversations. While searching for the final Cache I cut my hand. The wound still hasn't healed but besides that it was a fun day and I hope to do it again soon.
Job Interview
On Wednesday (September 28th) I travelled to Birmingham for a job interview. The job I was being interviewed for was a writer/journalist job for a local paper. I got the train to Birmingham and used my GPS to find the building where the interview was taking place. I was incredibly nervous as I usually struggle very much in interviews. When I arrived at the building I was greeted by a man named Geordan who took me into the interview room and asked me to take a seat. Geordan interviewed me by asking a serious of questions about the job and myself. To my surprise the interview went incredibly well, I didn't struggle with any questions and Geordan and I were making jokes and laughing. Geordan told me that he is almost 100% certain I will get the job. That interview made me so happy.
Liverpool
On Thursday (September 29th) I travelled to Liverpool for a date with Chloe. I left home at 6am and arrived at the train station at 7:30am. I bought a cookie and sausage roll which gave me the energy to survive the three-hour-long journey. When I arrived in Liverpool I texted Chloe to inform her that I was ready to meet up. We decided to go to Southport. I boarded the Southport-bound train before Chloe messaged me telling me that we should just stay in Liverpool instead. I got off of the train and headed back to Liverpool. Chloe told me to wait at the train station for her and she would be there in an hour. Two hours passed before she arrived but I had been texting her the whole time so I had no reason to worry. We spent the rest of the day shopping, eating and we went to the museum. It was a great day and I can't wait to do it again.
Play
On Friday (September 30th) I went to see a play in Rugby. The play was an amateur performance of three short Agatha Christie stories. The first act was slightly tedious and uninteresting, it was supposed to be comical yet it did not humour me in the slightest. The rest of the audience was laughing however so it was just me that didn't like it. The second act was much more interesting, it was a short story of revenge, the plot was predictable like most of Agatha Christie's work. The third act was engaging at first but dragged on too long until I just wanted it to be over. I had correctly guessed the killer in the opening moments of the third act so the big reveal did not have much of an impact. Overall I did not like the play, I would give it a 3/10, but I love the theatre so I would happily revisit Rugby to watch more performances.
