Another milestone has gone by: after nine years and nine months the contract which bound me with my company ended today.
It certainly feels strange. No more traffic jams, the kids will be able to sleep a little longer in the morning and I will be taking them directly to school, instead of leaving them at the day-care centre.
For me the countdown has begun as I will be leaving for Christchurch on 12 November.
Six weeks to go - hooray!

La rentrée des classes
La rentrée... or what has become a yearly ritual after Summer vacations in Europe. The end of Summer, to come back home from foreign, distant and faraway lands, to resume work, to take kids back to school... When it comes, everyone is concerned, everyone talks about his or her rentrée...
For us la rentrée takes place in its original meaning: la rentrée des classes, when children get back to school. The kids seem to have enjoyed their rentrée: the sun was shining all day and there were cuddles and hugs in the morning as they met their classmates after the long Summer break. It was beautiful to see them happy to be back at school. Very exceptionally, Mom and Dad took them to school this morning and went back in the afternoon to take them home. Very exceptional, but it was la rentrée...
Most certainly, their last rentrée here ...
