Hibernation doesn't seem so bad

This snow is now beginning to try my patience. I was snowed in for 2 days last week and I have been snowed in today. In fact today is worse because I tried driving out, got stuck and had to abandon my car so I am now sans wheels for when the weather clears, which, if the forecasts are to be believed, will be tomorrow. With a positively toasty 8 degrees by the weekend. Hmmmm.

Whether you believe in coincidence or fate you couldn't fail to see the irony of a recruitment consultant friend letting me know about 2 available positions in Dubai on the day I'm shivering indoors ruing not buying a gas-guzzling 4x4. It's very very tempting.

I do however have my plan for 2010 set, although the timetable is slipping somewhat. I'm now aiming to move out of my house during the first week in June, meaning I have around 10 weeks before I need to worry about anything. In the meantime I'm going to try to be more positive about the current living arrangements. True, a small faction of my neighbours are quite painful but that means that around 75% of them are fine. I may be in the middle of nowhere but it's peaceful... And the best bit? I'm on my own (cat excepted) so lounging in polka dot pyjamas slurping tea from oversize Eeyore mugs is perfectly acceptable.
