.....because I certainly am just now. Work's is really busy as we hit the year end with budgets to sort and appraisal season in full flow. The projects are all at interesting stages, either flourishing or struggling, but either way there always seems to be loads to do. In fact, work is going to be pretty much taking over shortly with business trips abroad. After a pretty full on couple of days this week I'll be off to Sweden on Thursday / Friday to visit some collaborators at the University of Upsalla. That will be very interesting because I nearly took a job there about twenty years ago. Then a week on Saturday it is the big one ...... California. A week at a conference in LA followed by moving on down to San Diego, a weekend to sight-see followed by a day or two at our place and then a couple of days mountain biking / climbing / surfing / drinking with a good friend of mine. I'm really lucky because I work for a great company. Even in these difficult financial times I'll be flying business class and staying in Hilton hotels. It will be nice to be spoilt, a little!!
Just in case I'm not busy enough I need to find a new home. The owners of my current rental are back from Canada and want their house back. How very dare they!! So that's something else that needs sorting. it's a bit of a pain and it always seems to cost me a few hundred quid to move but it's spring, the season of change and soon i'll be in a lovely new home. I think I'll go detached this time if I can, save the neighbours from my terrible guitar playing ;-)
