Time is flying!!!

Amazing how the time is flying... and the next weeks will pass even faster!!!
I leave to Bergen tonight and on Monday we take our UAV for the first field trip. Destination = Huesca, Aragon, Spain :-)
The forecast says windy and rain for half of our stay there, but I sincerely hope that we will be lucky with the weather. There is simply no time for plan B in data collection.
So far the trip preparation was not easy... Shipping 3 large boxes full of equipment  from Norway to Spain, in a holiday season, can be very problematic. Even if you pay about 40 000NOK for the return trip!!! Incredible... I have received already more than 50 emails about the shipment and although the boxes are in Spain already, they are stuck at the custom office... wrrrr!!!! Anyway, no other thing to do about it than to take it easy ;-)
After I come back from Spain there are only 3 weeks of work left!!! And (hopefully) plenty of data to process....
The last days of August I will spend in Bergen again, to wrap up work, pick up my PhD diploma and say bye to everyone there.

Afterwards we have 2 weeks for packing and painting and...
Belgium here we come!

Rugaard and Ebeltoft

Another weekend trip to see side :-)

Rugaard and Mols Bjerge national park

A very relaxing weekend on the East coast of Denmark: just staying at the campsite (on the beach) with books, a fishing rod and a bit of sightseeing (including a small local brewery :-) ... exactly what we needed these days!

Project Belgium - updates

Project Belgium is progressing with no larger obstacles so far. A short summary of the progress:

• I start the new job on the 15th of September,
• The work that I have to finish before leaving my job in Bergen (31.08) is a lot but seems to be doable...
• We already have an apartment in Mol (provided by my future employer). It should be large enough for our stuff and toys but... it is on the third floor with no elevator....
• A truck to move our things to Belgium is booked (12.09),
• drTBBE will stay in DK until the end of the year but we have a rough plan for visiting each other. With about 20 days of holidays left that drTBBE has to use this year these 3 months of living separately do not look that dark :-)

So basically no time for more holidays this summer. After I finish my current job there is less than 2 weeks to pack all the rubbish that we collected over the years and paint our flat white (we need to give it back "refreshed").

In the meantime we need to find out  how to bring our car legally to Belgium, think about new bank accounts, mobile phone cards etc... And there are still places in Denmark that I want to see before leaving!!!

Andalusia - great time with good "old" friends...

Great people, beautiful places, delicious food, great fun!!!

And the best thing is that there are people who, after not having seen for several years, you start talking to and it feels like these several years never happened, like you saw each other two weeks ago... I really like thatt :D
