My feet hurt!

Just had a very nice day - had to go out for a meeting with the regeneration agency which took me in the general area of the Burrell Collection. Since I had nothing better to do today I took a wander down there, sneezed my way through the trees til i found it. huge place - took one of the guided tours for about an hour and a half and i think iv seen about a third of the place. Dont know when I'l go back but I'm going to try to soon. I can see all the exhibits but can't read the tiny descriptions next to them - which is why I took the tour. Loved some of the items there - the tapestries are amazing, the rooms which have been moved, every piece, from a castle to the gallery are amazing. All dark oak and amazing carvings, rich red and green soft furnishings. I wish I could live in those rooms. Theres a small egyptian collection there in an area which looks a lot like the Cullens house in Twilight! One disandvantage of that is that there were foxes and, my mortal enemy, the squirrel everywhere. I kept imagining them tapping on the glass to get in, then hundreds of them tapping until the glass broke and they swarmed in. Its not as crazy as it sounds! As usual I got VERY lost on the way home - ended up wandering in the opposite direction for about a half mile. Got an interview tomorrow for a call centre training course - just a 7 week training course for a job I dont really want to do which sounds horribly depressing but it might be kind of fun. Id get to use Zoomtext - which is software that I have been dying to try out - it would be so much better than my current crappy split screen magnifier. I also have a 'training session' (which I guess means interview) for a part time call centre position on Tuesday and I'm looking at new flats on Monday. Rather busy time ahead. I am slightly apprehensive of this weekend though - after the last weekend I am slightly tempted to barricade myself in the flat.
