    Moving to Brussels

    Been a busy few months. Sold main house (a very nice Indian gentleman paid 1.4 million for it), now renting round the corner.
    Been offered a permie job in Brussels with all the benefits and a nice relocation package so will take that while I figure out how the Belgies work with contracting.
    Missus working out her notice and we move next month.
    Looking forward to a new adventure - probably the last one before retirement in Portugal, yay
    Hard Brexit now!

    Can't you afford to retire - you will wish to as soon as you see Belgium tax rates....

            I think you will find that the "Belgies" will want their relocation package back if you decide to jump ship and go contracting.

            Honestly Walter, is this the best fable you can concoct?

              Which bit? I lived in Mechlen (sp?) for a couple of years, very nice. Find out when the local market is on as the food is first rate.

                Dunno yet - popping over next week to liaise with HR who've promised to give me a couple of options.

                    So HR are telling you where you will live? Oh how the not-so mighty have fallen...
