Liberation

[liadnan]

There's a curious sense of freedom I had almost forgotten, which comes from the realisation that all your stuff is safe, over there (my office in this case) and from now on you're living from a suitcase and a rucksack (both weighed down with books, obvs). Almost like going backpacking again. Except this time I'm not trying to make my way round Europe on a small overdraft facility.

Are they putting you up in a hotel then? Or sorting you out with somewhere more permanent?

[liadnan]

Both. Hotel first week, serviced apartment when I get back from Greece.

Ah, that's good. Have a base whilst you find your way round, then get somewhere where you can actually make your own food etc and not worry about maids barging in on you in the shower first thing.

All the best of luck, sir. I can't tell you how happy I am that you're doing this.

Wow. I wish I could have that same sense. It's the opposite for me. (oh GOD where's my hairdryer? etc)
