So what have I been up to?

a) Recovering from the job accomplished. You know the feeling; you get jaded if not exhausted, and need a few days to re-charge batteries…

b) Visting Glasgow. Great place, great people. If only I can get my next contract there…

c) Applying for jobs. Since most of these are via job boards, the actuall application doesn’t take too long (thank God; I hate filling out application forms). However the search bit is time-consuming, and needs to be done on a daily basis.

d) Studying the web-site CSS stuff (again). Amazing how much the brain can forgot when it’s not in use!

e) German grammar exercises. I didn’t manage to sort out my enrolment on a course (yet). But I’m determined to get to that “survival” ability in the language.

f) Perfecting my Shepherd’s Pie cooking skills!

Where does the time go?

Just as well I’m not currently working – I haven’t got time to do what I’m doing (it doesn’t help that I spend far too much time surfing the web). Booked a coach ticket for myself and better half today – we’re off to Glasgow for a few days next week. I’ve got to do my research/revision for a job interview next Friday. Plus, I need to go over to London tomorrow, to see if I can book myself onto a German course at the Goethe Institute. So, for the moment, my intentions to get back into web creation, have had to take a back-burner. Never mind catch up on my reading. Still, better to be like this, than bored out of my skin. I remember those teenage days – horrible times!
