Switching to English from here on in ...

It seems increasingly likely that I won't be going back to Austria. :-( Well not to live there anyway, holidays remain entirely possible. Partially it's due to having settled down somewhat in Scotland, partially it's due to the hold "Brexit" thing and I suspect at least some of it is not wanting to take the risk again.

Last time the risk didn't seem so very high. My then girlfriend owned a flat in Austria so the accommodation was easily available and cheap, and since I was in my mid-30s there was plenty of time to recover if it all went wrong. If I go again I need to somehow arrange some accommodation before I go and if the whole idea is less than successful, again, then I'd "up a creek without a paddle" when it came to things like my eventual retirement.

I've been on a pair of cycling holidays in Austria since I left, and I strongly suspect there will be more in future. And who knows, if my some miracle someone was to offer me a job whilst I was out there then ... :-/

On the plus side, if I'm writing in English then I might actually update this blog on a more frequent basis?
