Gee, what just happened?!

It seems like eons have passed since I've last written anything on this paper. You will forgive me, when I say that during this absence I have both started at a new job and moved house (and suffered from non-knitting symptoms, so there's been nothing to show).

Well, I have now worked in the new place for a little over one month, and I like it there. I guess I should like it, since I sent about 80 applications within 12 months, before this one came along.... Although it means travelling by train daily to another town and therefore having rather long working days, but I have grown accustomed to that aspect already. There's time to read and / or sleep and / or think things through (or even knit, for sure) on the train, and, at least currently, the trains have been running on time, which is a sort of a miracle around here, I guess. The people are nice in the office, working pace is quite relaxed (compared with the previous job), I got my own room, and I get to apply my language skills and other previously learned things to various tasks.

I also like.... oh, what the heck... LOVE! our new home. It's in an old shoe factory, converted into apartments ~20 years ago. Roofs are high, walls are thick and surroundings are quite peaceful and green (except for that darn dog who is barking his/her small head off somewhere in the neighbouring yards, and is doing that every time and all the time he/she is alone). It's a bit long ways from the city centre, but buses and biking are good ways to get there. I've rediscovered my bicycle, and him and I are now great friends again.

Despite my non-knitting-feelings, amidst all these Big Changes in my life, I did pack my yarns'n'stuff when we moved, to come along - but the thing is, I haven't unpacked them yet. They are there, on top of the cupboards, in two white boxes with the tape still wrapped tightly around them. Waiting. For autumn, perhaps.... ? For those woollen wearables, perchance...?
