Time to move?

The work that's been ongoing at my accommodation over the past few weeks appears to be almost finished - the temporary blocking door across the main corridor was removed yesterday, so, predictably enough, I've been to have a look at what's been done. My old room's door was left open last night, so I stuck my nose around the corner to see the new version. It's sprouted a large, impressive looking en-suite shower room and toilet, but the actual floor space of the room, the 'living area', so to speak, is exactly the same as it was before. I don't know what the management's plans are, whether my 'new' room is going to be involved in another phase of work, but if I'm offered my old room back, I suspect, given the added facilities, it will come at a substantially higher price. If that's the case, and leaving aside the possibility of my getting a job nearer home, the difference in the cost of living here as opposed to somewhere much nearer my current workplace will be reduced, possibly to almost nothing. Given my near two hour round trip commute each working day, allied to the fact that I've got no attachment whatsoever to 'domicile-ville', any equalisation of price will make living in London, especially the parts of South West London reasonably close to where I work, much more attractive. Or, alternatively, I could just throw the whole thing in, take early retirement, and move back to Cornwall irrespective of whether I get a job with my current employer or not. One way or another, I get the feeling that my time in this accommodation might be heading towards its end.

Love & best wishes to all

  1. Interesting. I hope you get the job in the south, I think that's your first choice, no?

    1. Hello Jay
      Cornwall would certainly be my preference, but London would be well ahead of 'domicile-ville', especially if the financial side of the equation was at a similar level. As usual, I'll have to see what happens, I guess.

      Love & best wishes
