At the end of October I will be moving to Copenhagen, got a job there at an international infectious disease research coordination center.

I will be missing the Netherlands, in particular playing bridge with DavidKok and Shogi. But I didn't manage to find a place to live and my patience is up. It should be a bit easier in Copenhagen.

Bridge is not as exciting in Denmark as in the Netherlands, but please spread the rumour that I am looking for a partner on the Danish islands or Southern Sweden.

Sorry, this thread is turning into being mostly about me, please can someone else post something? It can't be true that I am the only one who has a life outside BBO. Nobody who got a new niece or nephew or dog or car or something?

Anyway, on Sep 1 I will become chief statistical adviser at Odense University Hospital. This also means that I will be moving again, this time to a 50+ (arghh I am getting old) community which shares a petang court, honey production, zumba classes and loads of other things. On a good day we can get two tables of bridge also. I will also be playing theater, and I just found a new bridge partner. Odense Bridge Club, which is one of the stronger clubs in Denmark, paired me with a Polish woman as there are not so many people here who play Polish club, so far we have been playing together once and that went fine, we won six bottles of beer six bottles of soda so that's good for a change, I had to dumb all the wine I won in Copenhagen on a relative as I don't drink so much wine myself.

This is my sixth job (seventh if you include the brief period as "self employed") and seventh residence in four countries (five if you consider England and Scotland distinct) in four years. It is a bit of a problem with all this perpetual uprooting. I am talking to my psychologist about it but so far we haven't found a solution so if someone here who knows me has some thoughts then please share.

Thanks for the update Helene, and best wishes in your next, new role and Polish ♣ partnership. You lead an exciting life.
"we won six bottles of beer six bottles of soda so that's good for a change, I had to dumb all the wine I won in Copenhagen on a relative"
I am definitely playing bridge in the wrong country.

I'm not on the move, still in the same 110 year old house in Vancouver.
I was happy to start swimming again this year after tearing my right rotator cuff 2 years ago, only to tear the left one a week ago.

Some (many ?) of us are too old and/or too sick to ever have another job, and unlikely to ever move house so nothing to put in here

I've decided to retire (early) from my work at Google. This will give me more time to play bridge, and pursue some other hobbies (and traveling) which I enjoy. Of course, it's possible that I get bored and look for part-time work, but for now I'm excited about it! We're staying in Zurich for the foreseeable future (really like living here).
