Weather stuff

It’s a beautiful day outside today. I noticed recently that when I first got here I was cursing and swearing at the weather most days and especially during the summer. Why in the summer? Because it wasn’t really a summer, well at least not relatively to what I was used to. It’s now Autumn so […]

I just don’t get it

I’m in the market for some office furniture and I’ve finally found a company which makes really nice ergonomic furniture, has a good selection and a large showroom. So I wanted to go over there and buy some stuff. But looking at their opening hours I was shocked to see they’re only open Monday to […]

Been a while

OK, I’m back. I spent the past week or so getting my new place up to living standards, unpacking and getting a fridge, washer, dryer, bed, sofa, TV, tables, dining table and chairs and lighting delivered and arranged.

During this time I will be without phone, without internet, nada. […]

Bingo

Finally found a new place. After a few days of negotiations we have a deal and a contract will be signed. That’s obviously quite a relief as I was a bit worried and stressed about this whole thing. Hopefully my trading downtime would be limited to just a few days as I arrange to move […]
