Must do regular updates!

In an effort to keep up the re-blogging just a quick one to update on what is going on...

I am now ensconced in the lovely Chateau du Faudade along with my sidekick, we have a lovely first floor corner room, double aspect to any estate agent types, have a lovely view down the Save valley and a nice walk from the Chateau to a small lake that does nicely for an evening stroll.

Bailey has tried to make friends with Rio the resident collie, it has met with some resistance and not a little aggression on Rio's part. Bailey is more wary but is still all wagging tail and bounce in the hope Rio sees sense...

Rio has now started to join us on the evening walk, it is quite amusing to see the two dogs suddenly finding themselves trotting along together and double taking on how close they are, a little more time and I am sure all will be well.
Bailey has already learnt not to mess with ANY stick that Rio may lay a claim to!!!

Work is just about to get busy with a software update to upload and return the systems to Airbus, after that there may be the opportunity to pause and plan for a Sep trip to take Bailey to my sisters... Wonder if she reads this as might be news to her...

Spent today planning and booking trains, hotels, and shows for November when I have my graduation for my BA(Hons) in Graphic Design taking place in Edinburgh castle. A truly inspiring venue for such a special occasion. Inspired by the 'pay it back' campaign, I have the support of two 'special' friends for the event, fun times to be had by all I am sure!

By the time of that weekends events I will have been back in the UK for a month! With fridges and cupboards full of all the goodies that it is hard to come by over here without resorting to bizarre rituals involving rendezvous in car parks, no doubt accompanied by secret passwords.

I really should start a countdown of days to go, but it is something like 45ish...

Next plan is for the leaving soiree that seems to have defeated me in getting organised despite the best efforts of Clare and Karen to kick me into action... This week it will be done!!!
