The amaryllises are making good progress. Two in particular are growing fast. I have a great sense of anticipation of a red flower, but whatever they do, even if they are all from the pink and white one, I'll still be pleased with them.
Today has been sign-on day, I visited the job-centre to confirm that I am still looking for work. I tried the bus today. As expected its cheaper than the train - about 20% less, which is good. As with all bus routes its anything but direct and so takes slightly longer than the train. At least I don't have to change. I walked for about 20 minutes to the bus stop, its not the closest one, but it was a nice day for a walk. Coming back I got off the bus even further away, and scared some cows in a field, as I walked past them.
I have confirmed that the view from our upstairs window, that Jo and I were discussing during the week, is Brentwood. The large white building is the shopping center with the flats above, and the spires are the two churches.
