Autumn Update
Well, I've been back in the UK for a whole 7 weeks now, and there's been plenty going on! The first big event was the birth of my neice, Megan, on 1st October. Then came the decision to end my Adventures in France: Life always seems greener on the other side of the fence, and whilst I had a fantastic time during the past 2 years, it gets a bit disheartening to live out of a suitcase a move on to a new place every 6 months, and rarely being able to see good friends, or losing the new ones you make as they too move on! So I made the decision to give life in the UK another go. But what to do? Well, firstly I just needed something to stave off the boredom and put a few pennies in my pocket, so I've been temping in New Haw which is convenient. And with a few words to a few people, before I know it I've got a permanent job - get this - for a ski company!! So as of Monday 21st November I will be living and working in Chichester for Ski Beat. There's the usual apprehensions about a new job and moving to a place I don't really know, but I'm quite excited too!! In the New Year, I'm going to move in with Laura, but temporarily I've had to get myself somewhere else to stay: I was getting slightly worried as it wasn't as easy as I thought, but last weekend I contacted someone through a web add and went to see the place. That was a bit scary as my mind went into overdrive and I started wondering what on earth these people would be like (ie potential psycho's!!) but as it turned out they are 2 really nice, perfectly normal human beings !! Phew!! And other than that I've been catching up with friends before I head south, and getting Claire back into dancing - we've just started doing Cha Cha Cha classes too! I've already checked out where I can jive in and around Chichester so that I won't get withdrawl symptoms!!!
