A tale of a Scotsman living in SW london...

Friday, October 17, 2008

Well, an interesting week really. After all the mad rushing about it's been nice to have a bit of sanity restored to the world! Been trying to get the head back into gear for the next piece of work, but as with all these things it can take a little bit just to catch up with yourself - all sorted now though.

Haven't seen that much of the missus this week. She's been doing a lot of driving this week so we've only seen other one night since she left for Worcester on Monday morning, but that'll be rectified today when we add to our carbon footprint with a drive to a delightful village north of York where we're going to visit some friends. The midlands base is ideal for this, as instead of a 6 hour hike up the M1, it's only (in theory anyway, this is the M1 northbound we're talking about!) 3 hours from here. Can't wait to see them as they had a baby girl just 3 weeks before the wedding and despite their best efforts they didn't feel up to the travel, but did watch online via the webcam we had running. Actually, the webcam was well used, what with family in Scotland watching, and the missus old flatmates in Australia and New Zealand who got up in the middle of the night to watch it, texting each other all night as they watched. Technology is wonderful sometimes for bringing people closer together!

Agreed. Although I sometimes feel quite faint trying to work out how it is all possible. I'm just grateful that clever people take the time to make all this technological stuff possible (and accessible) for numbskulls such as myself.

Stand free? Hmm. We are the famous Aberdeen, perhaps?

If so, hello from a fellow sufferer (recovering).

Kind regards etc....

Aye, Aberdeen born and bred.

What makes it wonderful is that I can share photos, videos etc with family and friends back home almost immediately, so we can keep in touch that way. Although, it can become a bind as well, the constant need to share - sometimes it's nice not to ;-)
