Many things. I have a move date of 4th May to go to Sweden. Scary!
But they have found me a house that I can have in the middle of June. So 6 weeks in a serviced apartment and then move to the farm...literally. It's a barn conversion on a little farm outside Staffanstorp. It's lovely and I'm really pleased. There's an orchard that I get the apples from for pies, strawberries, a nice open garden, great landlord and a discount on the holiday cottages they own on Gotland. How cool is that?
The removal firm woman came round today to do the survey about what I'm taking and stuff. She said 'oh, books!' when she came into the living room. Yes, I read. What of it?
I'm off to Tokyo in the first week in April too. Might see the cherry blossom, but I think I'll be a bit late and maybe only catch the tail end. Still, exciting. Not booked the flights yet and not sure how many extra days I'm staying but a few as it seems silly to go all that way and not see the place. Going to be really hard work though as I have to handover 6 years of stuff from my head to people who don't speak very good English in 4 days.
Oh, and my boss said today that I'm really needed on the new project as they need the test strategy set. No time to get up to speed then? Marvelous :-)

Best of luck with the hand over. You might consider writing up an SOP to help you with that, so that you have a hard copy to refer to in case you forget something and also to leave with them. They are a royal pain in the ass to write up, but priceless when the job has to be taken over by someone else unfamiliar with it.
