Visited the cemetery where New Zealand author Katherine Mansfield is buried in Avon, near Fountainebleau. Quite a touching moment. Her headstone was written in English too. Nice touch.

Downhearted
I'm flat out job hunting, printing and posting CVs and filling out online job applications. Unfortunately I'm getting absolutely nowhere. Few replies and certainly no positive ones. Brittany is not the best region of France to be in the job market ; bugger all around. It's seriously getting me down, especially as I have 'money issues' and debt collectors knocking at my door
I have set myself a goal. Keep trying to find a job in Brittany up until the end of January. If nothing crops up I will look into jobs in the UK, trying to avoid London having already lived there for four years.🇬🇧 So if anyone knows how to get into the UK job market please send me some site details or contacts.
In other news, as soon as my invalidity money comes through, Weasley my cat is going in for the unkindest cut of all. Just though you'd like to know. 🐱

Bonne année
Bonne année à ma famille et à mes amis. Happy New Year to my family and friends. It was a quiet night for me, but this old bugger did manage to stay awake until 2am!
I've decided to try and resurrect this blog and see if I can keep it going throughout the year. I'll write about anything and everything; my battle with depression and bipolar, my attempt at staying on the wagon for the entire year (that's going to be a tough one but I'm determined to give it a crack), life in France, grief and the love of my son and ex-wife, tech and gadgets, my stamp collection and general bachelor life. To be honest, I'm quite enjoying being on my own and have absolutely no intention of searching for a new partner. I'm enjoying life in my bachelor pad especially as my cat is not here marking his territory (he's in for the chop as soon as I can raise the cash).
Job hunting will be my main occupation at the beginning of the year. Enough is enough. I need to work. I've been on sick leave for over 2 years now. Serious cash flow problems which need to be remedied ASAP.
So, I've made a resolution to keep this blog running. Watch this space.
