Onward and upward?

• Good News: Toby got his letter from Royal Haskoning offering him the job he's been after for months (as a CAD Technician)
• Sort-of-Bad News: They've offered us a much lower salary than we were expecting / hoping for. Still, is enough to live on and, as soon as Annabelle gets a job, to clear debts with too. But money really isn't everything and Toby will be happier there; good global company, good prospects etc. Start date is 10th October 2005 so not much house-hunting time left!

• Good News: Camilla & her fiance Mukhit arrive in the UK tomorrow after what sounds like a very traumatic journey from Kazakhstan (via Israel ??) . Latest gossip is that Camilla wants to get married on Christmas Eve...
• Bad News: Mark's not coming home today as hoped for, should be early next week instead. Preparations for a welcoming but potentially boozey home-coming are already in place!

Back to Bucks this evening (get in a quick swim on the way) to briefly see Tobys parents & siblings. Day in London tomorrow before hitting The Forum to see Reel Big Fish in concert - should be rocking!! (or should that be skanking...) ;) belle
