Finally - finally, finally, finally...

...Job 2 and Job 2.2 are over! Well, 99.9% over except a couple of relatively minor things that I can't do until other people get back to me. But over in the sense that after five weeks (wait, five weeks, was that all?) I am taking a day off tomorrow. Three days even, cos I am not working over the weekend either (for the first time in five weeks). Yeay!

D'you remember how I actually thought that Jobs 2 would be a nice break from Job 1 and I might actually have the time and inclination to write at the same time? Silly, silly Slantedlight... Although I might have, except for unexpectedly having to take over a second team alongside my first and... oh well. Done now, and there's a few days to relax a bit. *g*

Of course now I'm not quite sure what to do with myself until I start work again on Monday, back at Job 1... *headdesk* Hopefully I'll think of something... *g* I nipped over to a nearby sixteenth century National Trust place this afternoon when I realised I was done - it was so nice to get out! That bed? That's a "campaign bed" - they came apart and folded up, and that's what officers actually took with them when they were off on army campaigns, or exploring or the like back in Victorian times! Oddly enough I'd just been reading This Thing of Darkness (by Harry Thompson - brilliant book, about Darwin and Fitzroy on the Beagle) and it'd described Darwin taking a bed with him on a trek over the Andes - presumably it was something like this. Mad!

So I think hopefully I'll get out again tomorrow - maybe Bath, but actually maybe Exeter for a change, I've not been there for yonks, and I've always liked it... or maybe just Taunton, or... the world is my lobster! Well, anywhere within driving distance... *g* And there will be catching up of emails, and lj reading and posting, and tidying up of the wee annexe, and... stuff. Yeay!

How're you doing? *g*

Yay, you're back!
I missed the virtual office, but was too busy to open one .
Or too lazy?

I should be working on something I dread....

But there was sewing and reading in between, and much talk about our last holiday. *gg*

The little Maus wants to visit again, the bestest place was your place, apparently, though I'm not quite sure if it's for the wifi or for you.

I love the look of the NT place you went!
Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy your weekend off without thinking too mich about monday.

Wheee - nice to be back! *g* I can catch up on all kinds of things now - lj and email and... housekeeping... *g* I shall try to Virtual Office on Monday too, because it was nice to know that people were around... actually perhaps I didn't need it so much during Job 2, because I was constantly in communication with people, one way or another. Proofreading is very much more isolated!

Yeay or sewing and reading and chatting about your holiday, even if there was dreadful work in between... And yeay that little Maus wants to visit again! Hee for wanting to visit here again - I wonder if it had something to do with meeting Landlady and the horses just before you guys left! And there's something to be said for wifi on tap, so I get that too! *g*

So far it's a nice day - I've done laundry, and been pottering in my gravelly-garden. And potting too, my poor neglected courgettes, which were managing to grow pretty well in yoghurt pots, and even to flower, but must desperately need more space... And I must try and get my weather station up too - I need to go and find a post that I can attach it to... *g*
