Still here

Days are flying by (apart from the fact that it is basically night for 14 hours!).

Had a meeting with HR today to confirm how I was going to use up some leave - so home it is for three full weeks in Feb. Can't lock down dates yet - but pleased to have it sorted. Weird that the thought of having to use and have holidays could stress you out - but it was. So that's done.

I heard from an ex flatmate for the first time in 4 or so years over the weekend and Gods toe nails have things changed with him. Another visit to look forward to in Feb. It is strange to be thinking about going round for a coffee with 'the family' - but I am sure we will escape for a bit to have a good yarn.

Thanks for the emails - news from home is OK, but not really for this forum - but, thanks.
