Of Poultry and Pints.

I have had a great week, both in and out of the archives. At first I seemed to be going through the files really slowly but by Friday I had actually managed to get through everything I had hoped for the week and as the archivist wasn't going to be in on Saturday I was able to take the day off! It was really good to have stay in bed on Saturday morning!
James finished his job at the school on Thursday so I brought home some champagne to celebrate his new job which he will start on Tuesday. I had also just heard that Sean starts a new job on Monday so it was a double celebration (even though Sean wasn't here, obviously!) We had a really good evening chatting and getting to know more about each other. Good times!
Matt has had to work all weekend. There is a major Brass Band competition on in the theatre. It sounds hilarious but he wasn't looking forward to it! I had thought I would go into the city centre for a wander around but it was a horrible wet day so decided to stay at home instead. James and I got bored by mid afternoon so we decided to go up to the local pub for a couple of drinks before tea. On the way up we were spotted by some chickens. One of the bolder ones thought it would be worth its while to follow us. I'm not sure why as I had no chicken food with me but it was persistent.
Today (Sunday) James and I went into the centre for lunch and a wander around. It was a beautiful day down by the canal and we had a nice lunch in a pub. Pubs are tending to feature quite prominently in my stay in Leeds!
Back to the archives for another week and then home for the weekend! Yay!
