Yup.

Yes, I am very much looking forward to having a proper canteen again for 
lunch instead of the small assortment of sandwich places and ASDA crap 
in our region. However, I will miss the fishmonger nearby, the massive 
chineese supermarket where I could get scallops and prawns in all sizes 
for peanuts, or the occasional haggies...

ABB has a very responsible work time policy, although I won't have the 
super-comfortable 7 weeks of holidays or the 35h week anymore. But then, 
the latter was mostly theoretical anyway...

I know what you mean, but I'm not yet at the point where I'd miss it too 
much. I could spend more time in the studio after Pascal goes to sleep, 
but I often choose to spend it with Ilona watching a movie instead. So 
it's my choice, really.

I'll certainly have a couple of pub nights out with friends and 
colleagues - but time is running fast now.
