The life in Sligo

We've been here for almost a month now and it's still strange. It will take some time to get used to this place. I guess being broke doesn't really help. We can't afford to do anything, and we stay in most of the time. So far we've been to the pub once... that's not like me at all. I think the rain and the lack of friends might be the reason for that though. We might as well sit at home and stare at each other, than sit in the pub and stare at each other. I'm not complaining though, it's pretty cosy to inside when it's cold and rainy. And we got plenty of board games and films!
Workwise I'm a bit bored at the moment, but that was expected. The lab is in bits still and I'm in the office most of the time. In the office I don't have computer properly set up yet. So far I've been carrying my laptop back and forth, but I hope to sort out a desktop this week.
It all sounds very pessimistic.... doesn't it?! Well, I'll tell you, this place will be lovely in the spring, and it's beautiful, honestly!!
