To new beginnings. To the pursuit of...somethingness.

sounds like a great plan to me!

Cheri - I do like the way you think, your idea for a hunt, brilliant!



BTW your lovely 'temporary richness' does make me smile, thanks for that, bit quiet here, nice to have a smile as I catch up with you all

xx

Pippi, temporary richness makes me smile too so thank YOU. Not sure yet what to do about the hunt but will definitely be doing it I think. I have expanded the idea to a car type treasure hunt. So I could drive to several spots and plant a clue which will lead us to the flat and then I could maybe have his pressies there and I might make a really nice meal. We could have a night in but at the flat (which is lovely and still not sold )

Love the lightbulb moment too, Cheri - you're really onto something there. Before you invest too much money, tho, check out Austrian regulations - there's a massive Anglo community in Spain, for instance, and I've known of several counsellors who've also emigrated out there, but the red tape is absolutely horrendous, and its been a year or so till they've been able to open a practice.

Thanks KC, I am onto that one. Researching as I type. Have spent the morning on linkedin and just seen a very interesting opportunity. Having cold feet about it as not sure that I am "quite" right for it though.Might need to add it to my 30 day challenges towards the big move.

I'm finally getting round to de-lurking so popping in to say hi.

sounds like the recent opportunity deserves maximum exploration at the very least

I read a fab book while I was on holiday about following what's in your heart and how much easier things feel when you are on that path. It talked a lot about how when you are on the path, lots of things happen/fall into place almost with a sense of magic and your journey becomes easier. I can definitely relate to this (although am not entirely on that path just yet) and thought of it when you posted about your stranger on the train

Belated congratulations on the Austrian purchase and good luck with your adventure! And love to Moo xx

Interesting opportunities should be investigated further, you never know where they might lead

And if you have cold feet, put your socks on :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Socks are on Maty.

Just back from the prom where I was listening to the Proms, Mahlers 9th.whilst sitting on the beach and watching the surf crash and the sun slowly creeping across the horizon. I think it was a rather reluctant sunset this evening. The colours were stunning. Navy blues fading to pale lilacs in the sky and aqua marine sea. How could I not feel completely at ease with the world after that experience?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: to me singing. Not only did Mr Watson tell me I couldnt play the triangle, he threw me out and banned me from the choir.

:rotfl: I thought I was the only one ever to be banned from choir! In primary school.

My friend's wonder why I point blank refuse to sing kareoke (my name came out the hat at a friend's hen party and I just stood there, mic in one hand, drink in the other, with a very petted lip!) I only ever sing in the car. When the window's are firmly rolled up!

How's your drawing? Mine's awful (despite extra art and no choir :rotfl:), but I reckon an artist will be able to draw me exactly what I want for my wall between our descriptions of the sea and the sun .

If you can juggle the money for the courses and keep up those skills, then they will be an investment for your future, wherever it may take you.

Kindred spirits - I knew that I was drawn to your diary for a reason!

My drawing is worse than my singing. I really dont get it at all. My Nan was a jazz singer in clubs (I listened to her for hours). I asked her if, when she died, she could leave me her voice - it didnt happen. And ALL I mean ALL of my family are good artists. I think that my creative talents definitely lie in dance and writing when I put my mind and energy into them. I have photos on my blog of the sunset if you are at all interested Nic. Not great as I currently have no memory card for my best camera and making do with a little snappy fuji.
