The deed is done as they say. I received a letter yesterday from work agreeing to release me early at the end of October. So today I posted off signed contracts to my new employer.

I can officially announce here first that I will be joining First Group's Rail Division to take up a new role of Business Development Manager - don't know where it will all lead to but I'm excited by the chance of a new challenge. Just hope the wife doesn't see this as an excuse to buy me an anorak for Christmas.

Been at home today, on holiday next week. Looks like I will do a 3 day in the office from now on. Off to the Big Apple in 3 weeks to see U2 and Bruce Springsteen, as well as the new Mony Python musical Spamalot. Mixture of excitement and trepidation about this trip. I will be on my own so will be very lonely without Helen - longest we will have been apart for some time - apart from Greenbelt over the years. More on this trip at a later date. Just finished writing up article for Michael McDermott's newsletter and sorting photos to go in it. Need to think about a gimic such as secret link to another Borderline song somewhere on the web.
