All change

November is usually a pretty mundane month, you just want it over so the Christmas festivities can begin, though it was a busy month for me to be sure. Had a couple of interviews and landed myself a job at Morphsuits, those all body Lycra suits that are seemingly becoming popular, though I haven't tried one on yet! Was also at another interview on Friday, and there may be another in the pipeline. I'm sure I'll have more info in the next update.

New car is running fine now that the problem with the wheels deflating has been solved, makes a change driving about 4 miles to work, was a 50 mile round trip before. What else have I been up to? Well, went to bonfire night in Burntisland on 5 November and have done a couple of long walks along the coast recently. Plan another on Wednesday as I have another day off then. Also went to Edinburgh by train a couple of times, the last visit was on Saturday and included a visit to the German Market there, the warm mulled beer was tasty but expensive..though not as expensive as the couple of malt whiskies I bought..and of course, mulled wine is a must. It keeps the cold away in these long winter nights. Here are a couple of photos.

Wendepunkt

I hate it when I forget to update every month, even if I've nothing to say, which can't be said of October! I went up north for a week of relaxation in Gardenstown near Banff, was good to be in an area I had hardly seen before. The majority may be strictly religious but that didn't spoil my fun - unless you count the only pub in town being closed on a Tuesday, for god knows what reason. Visited the Glenfarclas distillery and various coastal towns, was nice.

After my trip I spent the last 3 weeks at my workplace in Edinburgh, most magnificently, my erstwhile employers grudgingly agreed to pay to those of us being made redundant, the legal minimum - a most marvelous "thank you" for 13 years service, but I guess that's how American-owned companies operate.

What else? Well, I went on a spooky walk here in Kinghorn in aid of the local lifeboat station - was very well done, I almost crapped myself when a ghoul got out of a "grave" in the churchyard!

Been to gym today, must keep active or this job interlude could make me a slob!
