Laura has taken the kids to Blackpool until the end of the week and Dale (her handy hubby) wants to paint the living room, AKA, my current bedroom. To that end I have moved to Dalkeith till week's end. It is a smallish town with a decent downtown area to wander through. I am going to try and see if I can get myself to the city so I can wander there this afternoon.
I am renting the guest room in Laura's parents apartment building so I currently have a room of my own. It is actually quite nice as they provide everything, including a kettle, coffee maker, and such. I am not so sure that I like the quiet as much, as I have 24/7 entertainment in the form of Robyn and Koby. (And Laura and Dale but the kids are WAY more fun than the grown ups.) However, I will have to get used to the sound of silence as I am moving in the next couple of weeks.
Why the hold up, you ask? In Scotland, landlords need to register with the council and as the owner of the flat actually had it on the market, she deregistered as landlord. Once she does that, A lease needs to be signed and then I can move in.
On the job front, there are a couple of solid leads with two agencies and I am waiting to hear about the job with the Scottish National Galleries.
Next up...more job jabbering.
Cheerio for now,
Tina
Sounds like a lovely in-country holiday! and a good transition to silence.
