Adieu, Adios, farewell

Another era over. Yesterday we packed everything in a van and put it in Safestore. We are now sitting in an empty apartment waiting for the time to catch the bus.

Paris today, Portugal on Thursday, and then probably Bath, as J got a job offer yesterday. It's an interesting life.

The car theft will leave us about L600 worse off than two weeks ago, even though we had insurance. Insurance, lawyers and bankers - scum of the earth. Next time someone tells you that's what they do for a living you should respond ("That's OK, maybe something decent will come up in the future.") And of course we won't have a car to move our gear from Edinburgh so add haulage fees to that.

Anyway, we have Internet access in Portugal so will keep you posted, hopefully with some interesting pics. The weather there has been up and down, but mostly in the low 20s so that's an improvement already.
