And now, the weather

August 25th, 2007

No, we haven’t abandoned the blogosphere…seems to have been a long time since we wrote anything.

This weekend is meant to be one of the last nice ones before autumn sets in (though you could feel the temperature falling at the start of the week anyway), so probably I should be out there, soaking it all up, instead of typing. But then, the timing of my writing is also related to the availability of Dan’s laptop, so now is actually a good time for a post.

This is meant to be a catch up post, so we can excuse why we haven’t been writing, and then do some more individual posts on different things we’ve been up to.

July: Glasgow course for me, arrival of the final Harry Potter, minor op for me and recuperation time, and then:

August: Ten days of holiday in Poland, and now just over two weeks back at work, being pretty busy.

July and August have also seen the departures of two of our cell group, a Finnish lady and a Brazilian lady, and the arrival of several new babies, the most recent being Amy Louise Gibbons, the latest addition to Rachel and David and family, based near Milan.

Dare we say it, our most exciting arrival has been our new bathroom, which our friend Olly and his plumber mate Artur worked on while we were in Poland. An example of EU mobility that while the Brits went to Poland, the Pole was at our place working on our tiling… The bathroom is very small, but having very soothing pale green tiles and a new loo and basin, and some lights on dimmers, makes us feel very swish.

Dan has had his designer leave the company, and is now wading through CVs, waiting to see who will stand out as the next choice, or whether to go with a range of freelance designers as an alternative. I get to see a fair number of websites, between my work and viewing Dan’s work, but it was interesting to see who I thought might work - and how quickly each of us came to our conclusions of which ones didn’t…

The departures continue at my work - one last Thursday, two on Tuesday, and probably more to come. Managers have come to the end of a heroic month of interviewing to fill all our vacancies, but some current colleagues have got promotions, and there’s at last a bit more hope that things will finally settle.

And now, the weather…variable, but always the chance of some sun, whether in our lives or someone close to us.
