Double-Decker Buses and Cheese-onion sandwiches

With sore feet and more names and faces then my head can hold, my first day at work is done!

I found the buses in Reading to be very straight-forward and easy to navigate. All the buses are double-deckers, so of course I had to sit up-top...after all, I had never been on a double-decker! Once up there, however, I think I shut my eyes and waited for the "crunch" everytime the bus went around a corner or passed a car. Amazingly, no crunch came :).

More adventures were to be had at lunchtime. I ran down to the cafe to grab a quick bite. I was greeted with the most odd array of sandwich choices I have ever seen. Do I want.....cottage cheese and prawns? Smoked Salmon and cucumber? Rocket, mayo and mature cheese? I finally settled on the Mixed cheese and spring onion sandwich. Had a bit more mayo then I would like, but it tasted different then mayo in the US, and overall pretty good.

So overall, a good day first day at work, and now I am off to make dinner and program my new phone!
