An amazing, ordinary life...

It was raining today in Edinburgh. Maybe it is quite fitting when a life is consumed. I have mixed feelings. Although I will miss her I am strangely relieved for her too. The prisoner has been set free. That body that got in the way of her mind, she finally left it behind. Now she's back with the love of her life and that dog that she secretly loved. 22 years is a long time to wait to see each other again. I wonder how she felt, looking back at her body, now nothing but an empty shell. I bet she is happy to have gotten rid of it. I can see them walking arm in arm like they used to, so long ago, my grandfather asking "what took you so long?" My grandmother died today.

Me, Life and the Beeb

So it was the end of week 2 at the new job. I cannot very specific because I am sure in my contract it says something about divulging info about "the corporation"...But it has been great. The commute to Glasgow is horrific right now, up to 2 1/2 hours each way, I am really tired at the end of the day. But I love being there. It is a place where the "juices" of your brain can flow freely and they are always asking you if you have new ideas. The people have been really wonderful, even though I still have to get used to being boss there...
There are also people who, although they have been there a long time, are reinventing themselves yet again, pushing their comfort boundaries, not afraid to try new things. It is a whole different ball game, one that I am really eager to play.
Next week I will be travelling a bit, and then the week after I am in London again. Hubby and I will go to the Pixar exhibition and I am sure it will be great...He will also meet my dad for the first time. More about this later...
So life is looking up and things are going pretty well...and about time too..
