We’re there!
Or, more correctly, we’re here.
There being Oxford. We landed in at 5am on Tuesday to be met by some really cool weather. We found some beds at the YHA and have started investigating accommodation. It appears that rent is expensive in Oxford – something Kate knew, but something I was trying to remain oblivious to. So hopefully we’ll sort something out soon.
We went into my new workplace today and met my new boss. He’s a really nice bloke so I’m happy that we’ll get along just fine! All of the other people I met were also very nice, lab members, admin staff etc. The labs look nice and new and there seems to be plenty of equipment around the place. It was particularly happy to see the “help-your-self” reagents/ media/ tips. No more filling tip boxes! What a different world it is…
More to come – with photos (when we take some). I think Kate is amazed that I haven’t taken any photos since we got here. I’m also a little surprised ’cause there are so many lovely buildings and neat things. So many photos to come!!
Woohoo! I’m glad you made it safely and the new workplace seems good.
Thanks to Kate for the guide stuff, I got that all.
And good luck finding somewhere to live.
