Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. It is a shame that I had to work. The weather has been cloudy overcast and damp ever since I got here. Man I can tell with my hair – it is really trying to curl! I was at my office at RAF Mildenhall, which is about 15 or 20 minutes from my home base. Of course it took me about 30 minutes because I couldn’t find it in my GPS, so I was just following the signs! Then when I got on base, it took a good 30 minutes to find the right building. They say that base is about the same size as Lakenheath, but I think it is much larger! I had a full morning of interviews then a briefing at 1:00. This was not my full four hour briefing; it was a much abbreviated version. They wanted the 30 minute version with another 15 minutes for questions. It is hard to reduce four hours to 30 minutes, so I just touched on everything, without a lot of detail on anything!
I left the base last night at the Bird in the Hand gate. Bird in the Hand is a Pub that Margie Morrison’s son-in-law told me to be sure to visit. I had Chicken Tikki Marsala for dinner. I was expecting some type of chicken marsala, It wasn’t, it was more like a chicken curry with a piece of nan (Indian bread). It was good, it just wasn’t what I was expecting! How weird, I just Googled Chicken Tikki recipe and it is a chicken curry, I guess the marsala threw me off!
I am getting a little more comfortable driving in the UK, but I hate those roundabouts! Give me a four way stop sign anytime! Everyone says within a month I will love them and miss them so much when I go home. I am not feeling the love yet! I would say that has probably been the closest that I have been to an accident, I wasn’t really that close, just enough to scare me and make me realize I don’t know what the heck I am doing!
Well, I have another full day of interviews; they didn’t even schedule me a lunch today. Good thing I brought some peanut butter and crackers! I will tell you all about my trip to Rome later.
Cheers!
