I've not posted for a long time. Mostly, this was just because I felt I had nothing really to say. Life was tootling along from day to day in a pleasant sort of way, with nothing earth-shattering happening. Until, that is, I read the jobs section of the Grauniad one Saturday morning...and now I have a new job.
The good part about my new job is that it's a new post in a new team, with the chance to do something far more worthwhile. The sort-of-good, sort-of-bad and mostly just-plain-scary part about my new job is that it's in Nottingham, which is really a bit far away to allow me to commute from Swansea!
So, having sunk contentedly into the pleasant quicksand that is Swansea for the last decade, I'm now trying to figure out how to extricate myself from everything and everyone I know here, and to move to a new city to start afresh, where I know pretty much nothing and no-one.
I know deep down that this is the right move. My pros and cons list tips firmly in the pros direction, and I do have a sense of God leading me in this direction. It doesn't mean I understand why this is the time to move, but I'm doing my best to trust that it'll be ok.
So, this blog may become a bit more active over the next weeks and months as a way of keeping in touch with some of thiose people who are currently integral parts of my life, and who I'm going to miss so very much. You know who you are...and you're going to be impossible to replace.
