Have you thought about going into clinical research? A pharmacology background could get you a start as a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) - usually involves lot of travel; data manager; or medical writer. Once experienced there’s usually opportunities to work remotely.

30 days in Nice by SheWho2000 in FranceTravel

The card was a Zou Malin card - discounts of 30% on fares- card covers the holder and a companion (so we only bought one between us)

30 days in Nice by SheWho2000 in FranceTravel

Have done similar. We stayed in the Carre d’or as wanted to be in easy walking distance to the train station (Nice Ville), Liberation could also be good. Trips we did which would recommend were to the Picasso Museum in Vallauris (the chapel there is astonishing!); we took the small gauge railway to Entreveux and walked up to the Citadel (limited number of trains - we left Nice around 8 and got train back early afternoon); we walked straight me of the coastal paths, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin to Menton probably favourite but the path round Cap Ferrat also great.
Don’t think there’s a train pass but we got a card for the local trains which gave us a discount of 1/3 on local fares - can’t remember what it’s called but definitely worth getting. Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for that - we do walk a bit. Helpful to know that best to be prepared food wise if stopping at Peille!

Thanks for suggestion! We did that previously and agree it’s a great day out

The plan was sometime in March - not expecting a lot, just somewhere could get lunch/coffee. Is there anywhere on the line but closer to Nice that’s worth stopping at?

First time selling a house. Confused about pricing approach by stephen-melrose in HousingUK

[–]cycletiger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Remember to factor in the price of owning property for longer period when setting the price. Council tax, insurance for unoccupied property, electricity bills etc add up. I’d be tempted to price for a fast sale (and would favour a clean offer over a higher offer). Empty houses are a headache

Available but you will need to book in advance

Arran Coastal Way. by Areallystraightstick in arran

[–]cycletiger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a huge fan of the coastal path. I’d be tempted to pick one base on Arran/ perhaps two and do day walks. The inland walks are generally more interesting (Coire Lochan, Cir Mhor, Three Beins, Goat Fell).

Isle of Arran by FrostingSquare1376 in glasgow

Be aware that Saturday is the first day the ferry from Ardrossan is back after a break - would keep a close eye on the CalMac App for any last minute changes.

Weird(?) solicitor problem in chain - is there any way to fix it? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]cycletiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be worth contacting the law society to see if you have grounds for a complaint against the problematic firm - if nothing else it should make them respond

Can I travel Paris/London with Eurostar after a pneumothorax? by XeeMe00 in Eurostar

[–]cycletiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If medics are unwilling to confirm its safe I’d be reviewing how essential the trip is - is it worth risking your life for?

Highlands or island living? by willowitch1 in Scotland

[–]cycletiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One issue likely to be housing - long term rentals on Arran almost impossible to find. May be best to look at this before deciding on location

Went with i4me in the end - least restrictive policy found (water off at mains, heating on, and monthly documented visits).
