Had a chat with potential employer last night. He was reassuring about a number of things to do with the nature and conditions of the work. But on the other hand he’s not in a position to make me an offer yet as he’s still fund-raising. So it looks as if I will not start with him (if indeed I ever do) before the end of this year.

Meantime I saw one of the Brussels lobbying firms advertising for new people and sent them my CV. They replied saying their deadline was the end of this month and they will do the screening and interviewing in July. Which may well mean September.

I’m in no big hurry, though I am glad to have however small a sense of momentum, and to feel that I have a Plan B.
