So, HD has a new (contract, till the end of the year) job. Hooray. Except that it's in a not-very-interesting southern town (which he describes as "like Milton Keynes but without the architecture") (so Kerensa, in answer to the inevitable question, no it's not the job in the Ancient Roman City, sorry about that), which is going to make life a bit more complicated (though not impossible). He starts next week, so we need to find him somewhere to live, where I can work from home too - as I've finished teaching I can spend the summer dividing my time between there and here.
A good thing though is that my godson lives in not-very-interesting southern town, and I'm not entirely convinced he'd recognise me from Adam, so hopefully we'll get to catch up a bit and I can be a bit less of an absentee godmother (which reminds me, I think it's his birthday soon. If I remember this then I will have managed 50% of the godchildren's birthdays, which probably isn't very impressive. But better than 0%).
The job was the one that he didn't catch either train for last Monday. The interview was rearranged so we drove down (having decided that perhaps getting the train wasn't meant to be) and stayed overnight at my mum and dad's place - it's the first time we've seen them since the wedding so was good to catch up. And then this weekend we've been in York where we ate lots and went to the pictures (we saw Persepolis, an animated film based on the true life story of the graphic artist Marjan Satrapi. It's very good - worth seeing). We also went to a shipmeet and did a bit of shopping, saw lots of friends and generally had a fab time as usual.
I think that's me up to date. Hopefully my blogging will be a bit more interesting next month. Yay's not the only one lacking a bit of the X factor.
