Still Not Getting it. . .
I got into the swing of things with the new job. I was office-based. A pleasure as we approached Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere. I started late compared to dragging myself out of bed at 05h00 to get across the city to a building site for 07h00 where I would work every hour and weekend that... Read more...

Blinded by a New Job
On the work front, things looked up when I was offered a post in London by one of the agencies that I had been registered with for over a year. They were apologetic, it was fairly menial and not that well paid, but since they had not managed to secure anything better for me and since winter was... Read more...

Nightmarish November
On my return to London, I found I had missed the start to a few big contracts and the teams I had worked with were going to be busy for a while without needing me. Agencies had nothing and even labour work had temporarily dried up. For a month I had nothing. . . . .nothing. My money dried up and... Read more...

Awful October.
By September 2004 I had managed to get away from labouring and was being a bit better paid installing the data and telecoms infrastructure in office blocks. This was not where I wanted to be, but the pay was better and I felt I was making progress. It was something that I had learnt to do as... Read more...

Great . . (Ahem) . . Times Together.
My next few visits were good. We had a lot of fun together and Claudia seemed to have none of her usual painful episodes. Hmm, yes, a LOT of fun ;-) She discussed giving up the Pill and I agreed with her. It made perfect sense that, since we only saw each other for a weekend every three or four... Read more...

Clap for Claudia - and Me
Once I was in London, I visited Claudia a number of times in short succession. It felt good to be closer and although I had not yet found promising work, I was sure I would. London exudes a glow of optimism and opportunity. Quite possibly this is because one encounters so much scum and so many... Read more...

From Scotland to London
After just over a year in Scotland, I was getting browned off. I was not particularly happy, Claudia was not interested in coming over, work prospects were poor for me. It was time to pull the plug on the place. My next move was to London. I would be closer to Claudia, it would be cheaper for us... Read more...

My Visits
I visited Germany many times. I was there as often as I could afford it and when I couldn't, Claudia paid for me to visit. In the first couple of visits, I was at weddings, one of Claudia's brother and the other of a friend (who became a former-friend in later months.) With a couple of... Read more...

Never Fly with RyanAir
Claudia climbed onto a Ryanair flight from Prestwick to Stanstead to get an onward flight to Germany. Her luggage did not go with her. Her bag was just an ordinary little black trolley bag - a BK22 in airline-speak. It was not on the carousel in Stanstead when she got there. She stood in a state... Read more...

Giving Scotland a Try
We tried so hard to keep hope alive. Finances only permitted visits about every six weeks and then only a weekend or a long weekend. To begin with I flew to Frankfurt and that was about a five hour drive up to Schwerte. It was exhausting for Claudia to collect me and drop me off. She had -and... Read more...

Going Downhill.
Once I realised that I was not going to get into anything to do with Apple in Scotland, I knuckled down and started paying off what I had to. I accepted that Hamburg was not going to happen for the time being. Claudia might have known the same before I did. So rather than over-extend ourselves as... Read more...

Claudia Steiger -Back in Dortmund
Claudia went straight home from Thailand, as anyone would do, since it had been so long since she had seen friends and family. Circumstances made it difficult for her to avoid getting into a rut and badly bogged down. In Germany you have no proper state health cover until you are in employment... Read more...
