Longer days, shorter blogging

It's been a busy few weeks and I have been woefully neglectful about posting, but I'm going to be better about it next week.  In the meantime, here is the quick update:

Like the darkness, the rain is creeping back into the days.  We're moving slowing into about 20 hours of sunlight, down from a high of more than 23 hours.  And with that comes the wetter weather.  Apparently, it's been the best summer, with the driest weather in more than 150 years, but it's moving into fall-like weather lately.  It's not raining all day, but it is raining some of almost every day...

Which means, that as the days get shorter, the blogging will get more frequent.  I wonder if there's a trend there?

Husband and I have been having loads of fun doing not much of anything.  

My work permit came through, which launches the next big dilemma...What will I do?  This town is full of unemployed educated women who have moved here to be with their husbands or partners, but for a variety of reasons (licensing, language, networks) cannot get a job.  While it's obvious that I will not be working for the local news, I have started thinking about different project work.  And best of all, have been lucky enough to have met some people who are offering to help a bit.  So we'll see how to works out...

In any case, Husband and I are off to London tomorrow for a long weekend, so after  the requisite monthaversay post, I'll see you kids next week.
