    Thanks guys. In the end, it was a bad fit. You may remember I had issues getting my equipment at first, they needed three deliveries. And my former employer is a transport company! Alarm bells started ringing, but I needed a job, income was decent, so I gritted my teeth.

    Sorry to hear that, @Ludovico. Losing a job isn't easy but glad you are financially secure at least. I recall you having the issues with the computer etc. early on. That certainly didn't give a great impression. I hope something else comes along for you soon. :)

    Yeah mate, losing a job is horrible (been there). But if it wasn't a great place to work anyway and you have some financial security there are worse positions to be in. All the best whatever way.

    I want to purchase a 15 year old album on CD from Amazon, it states usually dispatched within 6 to 7 months which I find preposterous, if they have the CD why wait flaming 6 months to send it out. ~X(

    You people are funny. It's been 86 or higher in NYC for at least a couple of months this summer.

    It all depends on a lot of factors. Our two weeks in Malaysia were lovely, with temperatures between 30-35C. But yesterday temperatures here 'shot up' in The Netherlands from 15 to 25C, and the warmth (I wouldn't call it 'heat') was very uncomfortable. Still haven't figured out why it is so diferent, but it is.

    My father-in-law is South African and he told me the difference is in the humidity. He finds 30 horrible in the UK, but always found much higher temperatures in his homeland fine. Because he grew up with dry heat. When it's not in the UK, it's wet. I follow soprano Jeanine de Bique on social media. She's from Trinidad. Last August she complained about temperatures being round 35 C in Belgium (I think it was Belgium). If it's too hot for a Trinidian, it's too hot for me too.

    That is definately true, I prefer the dry heat as well, but in Malaysia, we were there during the rainy season. So very humid. Still it felt very, very different. Maybe it's also the air density or even our own psychological mindset.

    btw,
    sorry to hear about your job loss. Allthough, as an entrepreneur, I'd see it more as a chance to get something way better/

    Thank you all. Yes, I try to take it as a sort of holiday/staycation. Autumn is my favourite season,,October my favourite month with September, so it gives me plenty of time to read and write and get into a spooky mood between two job interviews. I'll also take some time to clean up and tidy the house and do some cooking.
