Arse, bugger, feck....

Well folks, was finally about to complete on the purchase of the house when a couple of hitches emerged; on their part an issue with a shared driveway, and on my part impending redundancy. Luckily someone tipped me the wink before I went through with the purchase anyway, so I had time to bail out as otherwise I could have been right up the proverbial creek..

On the positive side, looks like I have the summer to play around with cars and go flying, so I think I can see a positive side to this.. Does mean I'm not likely to be putting in an appearance for beer and curry for a little while although couple of interesting looking roles in the area so I might be back..

Thanks guys.. I'm just glad I had a bit of a tip off that something was afoot; otherwise I'd not be in the best of positions now to say the least. New place was a stretch financially to say the least..

Jobs wise, I'm an occupational psychologist by training, but I've been working as a general management consultant for the last 5 or so years.. Plan was always to go back to my roots, just hadn't planned on it just yet.. Now seems like a good time

Managed to get one interview lined up before I've even left so I reckon I'll be ok. Can't work out if I am annoyed or relieved about the timing.. Hey ho, sh1t happens. At least I get the summer off the play with cars and go flying..

Shared drive access is a nightmare.

It certainly slowed things up.. I'd probably not bother getting too interested in the future with a similar property truth be told..

How wide a drive do you need for a cardinal on a BMX?

Got to be pretty wide to allow for the wobbling..

what do you fly and where from?

Paragliders, mainly up in the peaks. Have dabbled with a few other forms of flight, but a paraglider will fit in the car and unlike hanggliders doesn't need half an hour of mechano at either end of the flight..
