Moving on

Lately no one has had time to add communiquees into this blog. It is not that we are experiencing coma, it is just that we haven't given ourselves time. On the other hand, there have been few things going on in my life which haven't allowed me time to sit down and to write about anything.

After a fantastic summer trip to Suomi, on the next day back in England, we had to move house to the country side. This should last for a few months only, however it implied so many arrangements and dealings with landlady, new people, utilities companies, finding our ways in the new area, etcetera.

An interesting thing was not having internet at home. I first thougth i was going to die without interenet, how could i live without being able to communicate? Well, the telly gave enough info so i didn't need the internet for that. The contryside gives the necessary relaxation to look for that in the internet. And the little need to work on the PhD made me realise that at any given time, i could easily give up internet.
Today has been the first day i have the connection at home. And just because i need to do some work, it is that i have had the pc on since the morning.

Being without internet at home while being at home without going out for a week, taught me something. That although internet is really handy, it is not as necessary as I first thougth through my own experience of it.

The only thing i felt a bit funny about is not being able to read the news. You might think that i am a lazy cow not buying the papers from a newsagent. However, my neighbour village does not have a newsagent. 30minutes walk just for a pub and a deli shop, which is fine with me at the moment.

I have also lost one of my sources of income. It was to be expected, but i was holding the hope of keeping it just for the money. This means that money-wise things will become a bit stretch.

Things to wait for during the autumn imply mainly, submitting the PhD thesis and teaching. Nygard wants, for once, to do a couple of trips, and now i feel like i can't do anything anymore. No money, no will to travel, just want to get done with the PhD. This sometimes blinds me from the pleasures of the life i have been forming with Nygard. Come on, now i don't even care for theatre, not even much film watching.

I am waiting, have been waiting since mid July for feedback on my first draft. That is all that is in my head. In order to move on I need to get started with the final work, and I don't even know how much time this will take me. But I am still waiting to be able to do so. Meanwhile, time elapses...

Moons change, weather evolves, life begins and ends, scientists discover a cure for skin cancer, the crocodile hunter died while shooting one of his documentaries, Nygard is semi-ill, my aunt is planning to come over for a super-fast visit, a friend is about to leave England for good, deers have begun running on a field nearby.

I want to move on with the cycle too
