Headache
Ah, I see Daisy's not been keeping my blog upto date while I've been away then :)
Oh, well... I'll update you... There's been a bit of a gap because early this week I suddenly got some work to do (being an academic work comes along now and again), and so I had to rush to get it started. Then on Wednesday evening I headed over to Colchester (Essex University) on the train with one of my bosses (the nice one!). We met up with the organiser of the trip, who was a very nice German guy who clearly loved his drink. We drank at a lovely little pub called the Rose and Crown in Wivenhoe, and then headed back to his place where I entertained on a piano briefly. Not used to all this socialising, by the time we got to our hotel at about 11:25 I was shattered.
Thursday was spent in a small room listening to and giving presentations to a bunch of generally nice people. I usually hate these "networking" events that academics use as an excuse to go to nice places (Essex?), but in this case it was actually ok.
We headed back down south at about 4:20pm, and I got home not long before 8pm. The poem I quickly posted last night I wrote on my PDA somewhere around Winchester!
I've just back home from a usual day at the office - left me with a headache, a deep loathing of everything office-fied (which includes our computer science labs) and wanting nothing more than to sleep off the various travelling I've done.
However, after a 7 week break, our salsa lessons start up again. Daisy's talking on the phone to her mum at the moment, and mentioned that we might go and try beginners tap dancing too... sounds alot of hard work that I can't be arsed with at the moment - but maybe come Tuesday I'll feel more like it! Check out our dance teacher's website - slight plug there as I designed it :)
hmm.. still no food in the house today.... yet another take away on the horizon, perhaps?
