Watch out London, Cat and Fereday have landed.....

It's been a quiet week in the Fereday household.

Well, we finally made it. Cat and I are now settled properly in Coulsdon. That's just south of Croydon and about 5 miles away from Caterham (where they make the sports cars) if you don't know the area. We found a gorgeous flat, then lost it, then got it back again just after Christmas. It's a long story which is probably best told by Cat. She has the writing talent in the family. We're hoping we'll be able to keep the flat for more than a few weeks this time....

I finally got the internet back on today, after three weeks of lonely isolation from the online community. When it's taken away, you forget how much you rely on being connected; simple little things like finding the nearest tip, library, petrol station or supermarket become more difficult, especially with no phone book or yellow pages. Now that I feel a member of the online human race again, I thought I'd scribble a little bit of a blog. I must admit that it has been a very long time since I've written anything. I tried to get a blog together this morning, but ning decided to erase it into the ether as I was trying to publish it. Plus ca change, eh Phil?

So much has happened that I barely know where to start. Cat's doing well with her commute into London. It's a very long day for her, getting up at 6am and finally getting home at about 6.30pm. I'm being a full-time trophy husband (Cat delights in telling everyone that I didn't get first place!) as the commute up to Yorkshire is somewhat prohibitive to my old clients. I have an appointment with an employment agency tomorrow (Friday) but I'm not holding my breath, what with the job market being what it is. I'm facing an uphill struggle to get the business established down here and I don't know whether I have the energy at the moment. At least Spring is just round the corner, so things may have a chance to pick up then. We have a larger garden down here too, so I should be able to keep myself occupied with getting that sorted over the coming months at the very least.

Well, I'm going to keep this one short. So much has changed that it wouldn't be fair to put it all down in one blog post and it would probably take me three days to include everything. I'm looking forward to getting back to the LJN community and adding my skewed point of view when I can.

Welcome back Andy. As a former resident of the soft south (born and bred in Hastings, so not that far from where you are) I know you'll find things a bit different down there....
