Am currently not formally employed
Picking up bits of event work
We are in the middle of house extension so have taken over the project management. Have helped out with the grounds work- whacker plate last week. Today I have been setting out blocks for our brickie- thankfully splitting pallets of blocks onto more pallets and using the tractor to redistribute them. It feels good.

Update- now 2 months into our travels/career break. Have taken a notepad with me and jotted ideas of how I’d like/dream of working for a cycle tours company, leading groups on holidays or more like Adventure Syndicates outreach work. Am assuming would take a while but think I could get training and experience for leading group rides, maintenance plus bike ability. Any recommendations welcome, be interested in buying someone a pint/coffee to get a better idea of what would be involved. The idea of returning to a full time desk based job brings me out in cold sweats but we are also planning to move in the next 18 months so need to show a reliable and regular income for any mortgage applications. Keep fighting off the negative voices saying none of this is possible/can’t do it and still getting anxiety attacks out here (now definitely related to tiredness/too much sugar and caffeine) so will self refer when I get back to the UK as well. Distance and break doing a world of good though. Feel very lucky to be able to do this trip, but also remember it took 2 years of planning and savings so deserve it too.
Hope everyone subbed on this thread is doing ok. Just having this helps me as I’m not able to discuss any of this with friends/family at the moment for various reasons so thanks all.
