So, yes well anyway. Nick met this man, who in real life is called Adrian Lukis, on Thursday through his work. As I have forced Nick to sit with me and watch the entire series of Pride & Prejudice he vaguely recognised him but couldn't remember where from. Until afterwards when he was chatting to someone else and they were like yeah, he's quite famous and blah blah. Apparentely he's been in Peak Practise as well but we don't care about THAT. Oh no, he is the dastardly Mr Wickham who so evilly whisked Lydia away to a life of grime and the nemesis of Mr Darcy.... I think I would have gone all stoopid if Nick had introduced me. As it was, when Nick got back to his work and told the girls who he'd met they were all really pissed off! As you can imagine.
I'm still pondering that job thing, I met the girl who is leaving randomly yesterday and took the opportunity to ask why she was going and was the boss nice etc. Anyway, its all quite positive what she said. I ran the idea past my friends last night and they were a bit concerned, mainly about the whole working-with-Nick thing which I must say is quite a factor isn't it.
I am nursing a slight hangover from last night (went to the Terrace - lovely!) and haven't had any breakfast yet. I think I'll wait for lunch now cos I'm meeting Nick and a few others at the cricket match. What ho! Apparentely there is Pimms already on the go, - hurrahs! I have to bring a blanket and sun cream. But there's loads of food cos everybody brought picnic stuff. And there's a special gazebo thing I'm allowed to sit in. Oooh, just one hour and 13 minutes to go til I can leave work....

(does best Alison Steadman inpression)look at him! that cad Mr Wickham, what I would say if he were here now!
Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his MAKING friends--whether he may be equally capable of RETAINING them, is less certain!
