Thanks b3ta
I knew I could count on you.

Boss - thanks! yup, I took a deep breath and handed in notice at work, then handed in notice on the house I've lived in for 15 years, but didn't want to make a big announcement coz I felt too weird about it. Still do in fact but as my one-way ferry ticket is booked for a week tomorrow I think it's about time I outed myself! I'm pooing bricks but I'd rather grab the opportunity to do it than spend the rest of my life wondering what I missed out on if I don't. Golden beaches, Atlantic ocean, a tall, red-bearded mad Fella, organic potatoes, under floor heating and babies... that's what's waiting out there for me.

Amberl, Baz, DrT - I wouldn't talk politics, religion or Thierry Henry by choice in England let alone over there, so hopefully I'm in little danger of making that mistake. The car thing worried me a bit today though, I discovered that it's impossible to get an insurance quote for my lil old vintage Bluebird with UK plates. Also I was perturbed by having to state my employer's business when I listed my occupation as housewife...

Kano - I am taking my mattock and shovel. I'll try digging in Muff.

CHCB - that's one useful thing I've picked up while visiting. Sound advice indeed.

Mista - thanks! My internet connection might be intermittent but I'll keep you posted!

So is the intermittency going to be before or after the move?
And once you get there, will you have more time for posting?

But if your village is too remote to have Internet access, don't worry, help is at hand... What I plan to do is to give my iPhone a fixed I.P. address and shove it right up my arse. I will then move to rural Ireland and wander from remote village to remote village offering the locals a chance to hook up their Internet-enabled devices to my bumhole so they can access the 'net. For the duration of my stay in each village, the locals will have a chance to surf the 'net with a fixed Internet-address while they feed and clothe me (a bit like a geekier Barefoot Doctor) before I move onto the next village. Amongst the country-folk, my bottom will be known as the I.P. Hone.
