Things coming along in threes

On Monday I was offered a job. After 15 months of looking it was almost a personal affirmation as well as a professional accomplishment. I will be working with Affinity Trust as a Support Worker helping people with Asperger's Syndrome and Autism. It isn't something I've done before but I will receive extensive training and ongoing support, and it seems like an interesting job that could lead to a fascinating career.
On Wednesday, Chris and I bought a car. I'm driving up to Oban in it this evening. It's a blue '03 Skoda Fabia 1.4 estate. We're very happy with our new arrival. It's our first major purchase together and feels like a milestone on the road towards our wedding.
Now all we need is a place to live.

  4. Nice one, with the new job Paul, Congratulations! Chris texted me to tell me a while ago and I texted back to find out what the job was and thought I'd text you when I got a reply! Needless to say I didn't get a reply so then I forgot to text you! Sorry about that!
    Glad things are shaping up nicely, I just booked the boat for coming over for the wedding.
    See you both soon
