Hi! I **haven't written** to write for ages and finally today I'm actually doing something about it. Not that I'm trying **to make** excuses for myself, it's been really hard to sit down and write, as I've been moving around so much. Since we last saw each other I **packed** my bags in four different cities. This job has turned out to be more of a whirlwind than I expected, but it's all good! I went from London to Prague to set up a new **regional** office there. You know I'd always wanted to go, but maybe I was imagining Prague in spring when I used to talk about that. Winter was really hard, with minus 15 degrees in the mornings and dark really early in the evening. But at least it was blue skies and white snow and not days on end of grey skies and rain, like at home. It's tough **being** away from home over Christmas, though, and Skype on Christmas Day wasn't really the same as being with everyone. From there I was on another three-month mission to oversee the set-up of the office in New York. Loved. loved, loved New York! It's like being in one big TV show, as everywhere looks just a little bit familiar. I did every tourist thing you can think of when I wasn't working, and must **have spent** most of my salary on eating out. It was really hard to leave for the next job, especially as I kind of met someone! More about Michael later. So then I **flew** to LA, which felt like a whole other country compared with the East Coast.

The wedding **will be** at home in London in September and I hope you can come! Anyway, tell me all your news and I promise not to leave it so long this time! Lots of love, Kath.

Answer 2

Привет! Мне давно хотелось написать, и, наконец, сегодня я действительно что-то делаю. Не то чтобы я пытаюсь находить оправдания для себя, просто было действительно трудно устроиться и писать, так как я постоянно переезжаю. С тех пор, как мы в последний раз виделись, я распаковывал свои чемоданы в четырех разных городах. Эта работа оказалась бурей, большей, чем я ожидал, но все в порядке! Я отправился из Лондона в Прагу, чтобы организовать новый региональный офис там. Ты знаешь, я всегда хотел поехать, но, возможно, я представлял себе Прагу весной, когда я об этом говорил. Зимой было действительно трудно, с минус 15 градусов утром и темно уже рано вечером. Но по крайней мере было ясное небо и белый снег, а не серые дни подряд с дождем, как дома. Трудно быть вдали от дома на Рождество, однако, и скайп в Рождество не был по-настоящему таким же, как быть со всеми лично. Затем меня отправили в следующую трехмесячную миссию по установке офиса в Нью-Йорке. Обожаю, обожаю, обожаю Нью-Йорк! Это как оказаться в одном большом телешоу, потому что все выглядит немного знакомым. Я делал все, что только можно представить, когда не работал, и, должно быть, потратил большую часть своей зарплаты на поедание вне дома. Было действительно трудно уходить для следующей работы, особенно потому, что я как бы встретил кого-то! Подробности о Майкле позже. Затем я полетел в Лос-Анджелес, что казалось целой другой страной по сравнению с Восточным побережьем. Я быстро мог привыкнуть к такому стилю жизни на свежем воздухе, на пляже, но я не провел столько времени, чтобы узнать Калифорнию, потому что летал обратно, чтобы видеть Майкла каждые две недели. Он приезжал ко мне, когда мог, но его работа означает, что он часто работает по выходным, и он не мог приходить очень часто. Те три месяца пролетели, и затем я отправился во Франкфурт, где я сейчас. И. Также Майкл! Ему дали месяц отпуска, и мы пытаемся разработать план, как мы можем быть в одном и том же месте в одно и то же время некоторое время. Мы считаем, что первым шагом в этом направлении является брак, поэтому я хотел написать — я не могу делать это без моего старого друга! Свадьба будет дома в Лондоне в сентябре, и я надеюсь, что ты сможешь прийти! В любом случае, расскажи мне все свои новости, и я обещаю не оставлять это на так долго на этот раз! Много любви, Кэт.
