mstislavl So, how's the job?
Not very successful if you judge by scientific results but I somehow is not upset by this. I like people in the group – a technician (Hazel) and two PhD students –male and female. And the boss is perfect, well, almost perfect, sometimes (in fact, always) he wants 10 things to be done at the same time. Did I tell you that the Boss (Ian) has the same hair colour as Vadim? Irrelevant but I like it.

Well, yes. I wonder about the bills but I think they still will be less than £200 that one usually pays as the rent. The landlady even left the money for cat food and litter. I think it’s a pure charity but she can afford it – she owns at least two more flats in the same house and she’s just sold a pub in the center of Aberdeen.

And free vet is provided ;-) There is a woman that lives in flat 5, she is a vet and my landlady has agreed with her about checking the cats. It is all sounds like a fairy tale, isn't it? But...but one of the cats is 17 y.o. and she regularly gets sick. Plus she like to pee on a newspaper under the tray with litter. Plus both cats are Siamese so they have characters, for example, if they run out of food during the night they myaoo in the middle of the night.

I am so happy right now! I do what I want, cook or don't cook as I like...it would have been lonely if I hadn't have Vadim and Nicholas somewhere but I know they do exist so I consider this as long holidays. beside I've got loads of people around at work.

May be he'll come over Christmas...but he tried to come twice over last two Christmases and it never worked...

20 minutes by bus. it's a small city.
Will you have a list for your wedding? Or may be you'd prefer cash to pay off your mortgage? I hope your mortgage is not one with endowment, they talk a lot about it on TV and in the newspapers.

oops...I thought this would eventually happen when Joseph decided to go back to NC so I am not surprised. Does he still live in NC?
