Let’s see, what’s happened since last week?

Erm.

I have got my guitar back and it badly needs restringing, which is something else to do. I’ve borrowed a rather nifty tuner off my mate Grum, but there’s been too many chores and nuisances to get stuck into life to attack this yet. Maybe this weekend I can do it, and then several months of embarrassing weekends relearning the appallingy little technique that I once knew.

Saturday briefly went birding and to a garden centre visiting Jane, then to my sister, further to my parents, doing a long round. It was a pleasant day for socialising, and then I spent the next day scanning old negatives at Ian’s and putting them up at home

I am – later today – going to be spending an hour being interviewed on the phone, on a sort of computer security phone-in chat show which apparenly gets a couple of hundred people attending. Originally it was going to be a straight one-on-one interview, but I heard a recording of the last one they did and thought it sounded terribly plastic and rehearsed, so I told them that I’d only do it if there wasn’t a script. They turned this concept into a sort of unplugged free-for-all, which I’m much happier with, and invited various other colleagues to the party.

My job promotion has finally been nailed down, about which I am pleased and marginally more comfy than before, certainly in terms of knowing where I stand, how much money I have, whether I can afford to redecorate, double-glaze, buy a car, etc.

Somehow I feel there ought to be more that I should write about, but it escapes my mind at the moment. Holidays are being planned, a tent arrived in the post by gift from my brother-in-law, about half my colleagues are off at t team meeting and I ought really to get some paperwork out of the way.
