Gareth got a job offer last Friday at 7pm our time and shortly after we received the news, Gareth contacted a realtor about a flat posted on their site. Unfortunately, that flat was already gone, but fortunately for us (!), the realtor spoke of another flat and it is perfect for us! It’s much larger than the other flats we looked at and it is pet friendly. We put a hold on it the next day.

Gareth leaves for London next Wednesday and I will finish up in The Netherlands; following on the 15 June. I’m going to go via ferry with Kleine and Pompoen. It should be an interesting experience. For me, it is much less stressful than taking them via plane. I was dreading handing the cats over to be placed in the belly of the plane. I just couldn’t do it.

I go for my appointment next week and we’ll be using priority service for my work visa as our residency permit expires on the 15th.

Wish me luck…this is going to be a crazy few weeks.
