Carving out a life

So now the thesis is finished I've been able to actually start living properly again. I'm not saying I worked solidly for the last 9 months and had no fun at all (because, lets face it, if that was the case it wouldn't have taken me 9 months!) but whenever I have been enjoying myself I've always felt that guilt in the back of my mind - 'you should be working!'. Now that's gone I'm starting to carve a proper life for myself here. I've started playing badminton with Ben and some friends one evening a week and I've also started taking Welsh lessons. I'm hoping that it'll be useful for work, interesting and also a way to make some new friends as well. I've only had 3 lessons so far but its going quite well I think and I'm enjoying it. I'm also planning to get a knitting group started soon as well (if anyone from the area reads this and would be interested then get in touch). I'm really starting to enjoy life again and loving being here in Wales with my man :)
