I've been heavily focused on my book review blog 06.51 from Brighton over recent months and have somewhat neglected found in Brighton. Well, now that spring appears to finally be here, maybe it's time for a spring clean and some new posts?
So what's been happening? The last twelve months have been a time of many changes for me, this is on top of the major change the year before of moving to Brighton that actually inspired the blog in the first place.
About this time last year work took a manic turn and pretty soon I realised that it was making me miserable, so dusting off the CV and updating the Linked In profile began in earnest. One opportunity that caught my eye was with Transport for London - and after several interviews over the summer and early autumn I finally had an offer in my hand and was ready to call time on fifteen years at Network Rail. I had already booked a month in Australia for Christmas and New Year, so actually left one job half way through my holiday then started my new one from the other side of the world.
Jumping back a bit, in September I turned forty - I celebrated with friends in Barcelona and did a bit of blogging. Around the same time I also had a bit of a health scare, which was finally diagnosed as cancer of the thyroid a few weeks ago - removal of the offending gland is tomorrow, so fingers crossed that chapter is coming to a close.
Life in Brighton is getting a bit better, I still don't 'love' it but am happy enough here for the next year or so and will be finishing off the house (bathrooms, garden and external painting) over the coming months.
Anyway - that's the catch up, blogging will be more regular going forward....
