I've been offered and accepted the job in Freiburg.

I thought I'd be excited but I'm now worrying about being away from my family and wondering if it's the right place to go. I've told myself there's a mandatory 6-month trial period and I can always look for something closer during that time.

Now I'm tying to find an apartment and Freiburgs rental prices are eye-watering.

Yay, good for you!

Hope you can iron all the logistical kinks out. That's what trial periods are for xxx

Just noticed the rain..... I have washing out!!! it has had to go in the dryer, nearly dry as well

 

[Reynard]

Some pretty hefty showers here this afternoon. Looks like they've all blown through now, as we have clear skies and brilliant sunshine.

I am watching the rugby.

I must remember to put the recycling bin out this evening. If it wasn't raining at the moment, I'd do it now.

On today’s bike ride it was so nice I took my gloves off for first time in months. It was lovely out.

Got the washing in then went to Peel for fish and chips and an ice cream, got back and went out and did 11 miles to help the fish and chips down, having a beer now to make sure

I grilled some hamburgers for lunch, first time I've had opportunity to use the grill since November. So windy here it blew out the grill, once.

There were 9 magpies on the tree outside. They were involved in an intricate changing places game until war broke out. And then the ones that chased the others away went away themselves.

So I went to the pub

I managed to set the smoke alarms off cooking tea tonight, our alarms are mains powered with battery backup, once one gets set off the other two join in, my Good Lady wasn't impressed.

if you stand within 100 yards of our smoke alarms and whisper the word "toast"...…….. THEY KNOW

It's hammering it down here just for a change

Just got back from the cinema.

That moment when going to work takes more time than actual work itself.
Drove to the site - and I was told that they don't need security. Went home. Voila.
This time I'm very happy with this fail of the office because 1. I live only 5 minutes from that site and 2. it's my first 24 hours of staying at home after 4 weeks working without a day off.
Woohoo !!!

The bin is now out front ready for emptying tomorrow. It's a lovely clear evening with a full moon now.

Thanks to one of the people I went to Heathrow with on Tuesday, I seem to have got the beginnings of a cold.
