Quasi-weekly Update

Whew! What, as they say, a week. Spent most of the weekend dealing with Evial Komputerz (but see lj-cut below) and getting bits of stuff done for the report due at the end of the month. Day-job work sort of ramping up in intensity: could get approximately twice as much done with a bit less task-switching, though.

On the other hand, lots of situations in which I would usually have had a cigarette or several came up, and I didn't have any

Tuesday night was Mark Thomas' Columbian Solidarity Campaign benefit at the Bongo Club, which was dead good, but could really have used loads more people. Got very wet afterwards, and never quite made it home pre-work the next day.

Couple of very pleasant lunches during the week, both at Rick's: tigermoth's sister was passing through Edinburgh with her husband on the way back to France, and their son and daughter-in-law had come down from Aberdeen to catch them on the way. So, big family get-together type meal, and it was a real pity to have to run away very quickly and get back to work. The same thing happened on the Friday, when my mum and stepdad were in town: truly lovely meal, madly rushed. Still, we caught up with them on Friday evening as they headed up to Crook of Devon - came with them in the car as far as the Cramond Brig, had a drink and a chat, and then we walked down the river and back home along the coast. Very pleasant...
