It seems that May and June is all about cleaning and rebuilding.
The smaller part of it is that I totally revamped my site – I think it was hard to miss -, and while it’s not finished, the general conception is clearly worked out.
All that remains is to to tweak the layouts, the colours, the widgets and the other miscellaneous stuff.
I have decided to put my photography stuff on a separate blog, Thumb on the Lens, to move all the pages that were under Fractured Bloughts to their own page, independent of this blog – like the Maps, the Media Library, the About page.
The bigger thing rebuilding and cleaning wise is on the job front. On the 1st of June I will leave my current job, and my new job will be in another country, far, far away, in the Misty Albion.
New job, new country and a new adventure – accidentally, when that happens, I will start a new blog, where I will write about working and living in the UK, mainly for my friends, family and interested people. It will be for a different audience, written in Hungarian just to mention a “small” difference.
So the summer will be a time of change, and I firmly believe that it will be for the better. After all, every change can be used to better one’s life.
With change comes cleaning – and I swear that I started the post way before I read your post about cleaning, Karen, but I fully agree with your statement:
No one wants to pack up unnecessary junk and take it into a bright shiny new place, yet so often we are unable to let go of things we no longer need.
You move you blog, I move my self. I have an advantage over you – only a limited amount of stuff fits in the suitcase and the 20kg weight limit. The rest I will have to “remote” order, and that makes it easy to leave behind unused things.
The harder thing will be the people. Friends, family are staying here, at home, but I am positive that I will make new ones.
And it’s not like I am escaping and never returning. More like in the old days, when the journeymen traveled around Europe, learning here and there returning home with the knowledge.
So, cleaning, painting, rebuilding.
