Starting Off

In lots of ways I’m really looking forward to it. Although the Monday morning start is going to be a bastard for a while. Ah well.
In others, it’s going to be weird. Being away from home for four nights a week, for instance, isn’t something I’m overly looking forward to. (And, in fairness, neither is Herself) But it’s a means to an end. It’s the start of getting us up to Norfolk and so on.
I suspect I’ll be doing this for at least the next month, possibly even two months. Once we’ve moved I’ll still be commuting to work, but it’ll be a daily thing, rather than up on Monday and back on Friday.
Of course, there will be benefits to being away too. It means that I’ve the time – and most likely the inclination too – to get a couple more websites written and sorted out, including the one for my own photography. Yeah, the ImageKind gallery is OK, but it’s only a stepping-stone towards where I want to be with it all. So that’s likely to be Site No 1 on the list, with a couple of others clinging on tightly behind. It also means I’m going to be doing a lot more writing work in general of an evening, which should also be good, and might even let my brain cool down a bit, if it doesn’t have to remember every bloody thing all the time.
But anyway, it’s the start of a new chapter, and I’m looking forward to it. Obviously there’ll be more posts as and when I get chance (and remember any necessary relevant passwords!)
best of luck mate!
Best of luck fella. I worked in cambridge for a month before my family came to join me and it gave me the chance to get a head-start on places to see, things to do and more importantly where to eat 🙂
Speaking of which, check out Sweet and Spicy on Mill road for some amazing curries and such. There’s a Pakistani deli next door that was one of the biggest things we missed when we moved away. Oh, and I bet you’ll be visiting Cantab Milennium on more than one occasion when you get settled…
