Ringing in the changes

I have been hinting a lot recently about changes falling into place and making vaguely vague allusions to big things being afoot. Well here is an explanation.
I have accepted a job with a company who I have been running a project with on behalf of a client. I have been working closely with them for about 18 months and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since the early days of the project they have suggested that I would be much better off working for them and I finally acquiesced to discuss this with one of their owners a few weeks ago.
These guys are a small-ish outfit of SAP consultants based in the outback of Denmark with an office in Copenhagen. So last week we agreed some terms and I have resigned from my current job meaning that in 2 months I will be out of the old and in 3 months into the new.
Therein lies the interesting part. In November I am taking a month to fit a new kitchen. The tax rules in Denmark mean that it will cost considerably less for me to take a month off than to get someone else to do the work and it will also be (sort of) fun.
Then yesterday there was a bit of a surprise when my new employer was bought by a Norwegian company. It looks as though this is good news as it will open more opportunities in the future than the existing Danish company.
Anyway, in conclusion, I have a new job starting 1st December.
