        No more than 3 months in total, including my 8 weeks off. I expect September is when it'll all start happening again.

          My biggest problem so far has been to let the new client give me a week off in between contracts so I have time to move from one country to the next. Now done in an hour with wife and kids.

            Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
            "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
            Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

                I finish in a week and a half.

                I'm taking 6 weeks off, and I'm already getting booking requests for September.
