...at the edge of the high diving board, toes curled just over the edge, arms extended to their fullest length. I can feel the thrum of the board as I flex my calves a little, just scraping the soles of my feet on the rough surface. This is the moment before the moment, before I bounce down, then up, before I soar and slowly draw my hands together above my head, before the long inevitable plunge to the water.
Tomorrow morning I fly out to Amsterdam. Monday I start my new job. Although I will be back in Edinburgh every weekend in July, tomorrow's trip marks the first stage of moving out of Scotland.
I take a deep breath...
Eeeek! Abi, do take care and keep in touch!!!
all the best,
Mark
Exciting!! The good vibes you encountered when you interviewed should quickly outpace your anxieties and bring you into a completely enjoyable environment. Like a new romance... except, I suppose, that one has to work.
love,
Dad
