Boy, it's been a long week...

...But I officially have a start date for my new job - 21st November. Three weeks later than I'd like, but it's good enough.
I spent this week mostly figuring out what I need to do before I leave. Thankfully, it's not too bad. The guidance notes are all in order; I just need to straighten a few things out. There's one big project I really need to finish before I leave, but that largely depends on other people doing stuff on time, so it's odds-on that won't happen.
At home, like Amber, puppy Ceris has undergone a name change. (Amber was Simba for two days before Sis decided that was a silly name for a dog.) Ceris has become Carys - because Mum got a disk engraved for her collar and the person spelled it that way. I would have made him do it over, but Mum evidently thinks it's less trouble to change the puppy's name. She may be right - they two names sound almost identical anyway.
( Speaking of the puppy - here are some more pics )
Isn't she just the cutest? Tomorrow she's officially allowed to go outside as all her vaccinations will be effective. Today she learned to climb the stairs...so I spent an hour puppy-proofing the baby-gate so Mum doesn't have to spend half her day searching the upstairs for a lost puppy. She still can't climb down :(
Strictly Come Dancing starts tonight! I loathe reality TV but Strictly is the exception and my guilty pleasure. I'm rooting for Russell and Flavia - could there be a more mismatched couple? But I'm betting they'll be fab.
