A little over 48 hours and it's 'wagons roll!'.

The mini break was a welcome distraction three weeks back, but the need for a complete change of scenery after all that's cracked off lately; is acute.

There are welcome signs on the horizon though and about time too! I had my first formal job interview in nearly seven years this morning and I am reasonably confident of being offered a position. It isn't anything glamourous, how can a Production Team Leader at a local food factory be otherwise? But it will at least boost the income situation and provide a more stable platform from which to proceed. Beyond that who knows? Suffice to say I will go with the flow in order to achieve our more long term plans.

Shift work, or more to the point the shift patterns, will impinge on our rugby and surfing (more so the former I suspect), and may be a necessary 'evil'. Having a more carefree and unconventional lifestyle is all well and good, but it has to be sustainable. This summer, my own has become the complete opposite and the time has come....for now at least to alter things before it's too late.

Just as well there is some mellow swell forecast from our arrival in Bude early on Saturday morning until perhaps Tuesday. We could all do with it that is for sure. The question now is, will there be something extra to celebrate and/or ponder?
