For me and my Stu Autumn and Winter mean holidays.
And as a result it's a pretty crap time for me to be actively looking* for a new contract. So maybe I should just resign myself to that fact and sit back, enjoy the hols and start looking again in February. This month I'm off to spend three nights in a yurt in Wales. With my big sister. We're aiming for blue skies, autumn colours, log fires and melted marshmallows. And not a great deal more. Then in November it's the second wedding anniversary trip to Grundarfjörður (a small town in the north of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, in the west of Iceland). Eight days of authentic Skyr, peace, stunning scenery, the best-looking horses in the world, ice, waterfalls, high winds, biting cold, mountains, glaciers, hot springs and, fingers crossed, orcas, snow and green skies. Then before you know it, it'll be Christmas. This year I did the majority of the present shopping in September. That is some result. Much better than my packing-for-holiday skills. Which leave a lot to be desired. January brings a trip to Norway. Where we're hoping for some serious snow and many nights of green. And where we're guaranteed stunning scenery, peace, solitude and the occasional reindeer and moose passing by the cabin. As it's already October and with all the holiday interruption between now and early February I think I'm right to quit the job search for now. Maybe. Might just have another little sneak peak... *Actively looking: A quick flick through LinkedIn at the end of each day. And finally... The perfect holiday: snow, cabin and green skies (Norway Jan '17)
