Life is a bit of a whirl-wind at the moment and it's all being driven by being busy at work, lots of working in the evenings and lots of staying away in the NW.

Next week I need to be working with a customer for four days so I'll be staying away for three nights in a row, I really hate that. You'd think it would be great to get away and have a break but it's just not really like that because I tend to work in the evenings and, as a Daddy, I think I should be at home.

The week after next I'm taking as a (half) holiday, I'm still going to get some work done but I'm going to do it when and where I want and not worry about taking calls or going to meetings.

There is very little other news at the moment, I'm in the process of registering for an Open University course but I'll post about that separately.
