Well, I’d say that that moving to the UK has become a certainty. As originally planned I’m still heading to the US in April – but that visit is now shortened to a week. Then back to Sydney for a couple of weeks – dead busy organising our “moving out” of the country. A week visiting family in WA then bounce back through Sydney to the UK.

So much to organise! We’ve been looking at areas to live in in the UK and I must say that my favourite is Oxford – it’s an attractive place with plenty going on in the evenings. It is well placed for my own movements and the rent there isn’t too unreasonable. However I fear that it isn’t the wisest practical choice for Kat, since the IT job market in Oxford isn’t exactly huge and it is an hour long train ride just to get from Oxford to Marylebone station – ruling out commuting to London.

My practical nature will probably win, and at the moment a more sensible place to live looks like Rickmansworth. It is only a 30 min train ride to London, rent there is good and it is convenient for my own movements (I spend most of my time at a location outside of London).

Fun fun!
