- Some 're-structuring' of our company during a staff shortage has led to 12- and 14-hour days by yours truly in an effort to stay on top of the work. 60 hours last week, 21 hours so far this week with 3 days still to survive. Hence the digest format.
- My 30th has passed, with little fanfair and much fun. Had a small cheese-and-wine do at home on Saturday evening to test 3 white zinfandels - the Blossom Hill beat the Ernst & J.Gallo and Sainsbury's El-Cheapo hands-down. Went to the Download Ozzfest on Sunday to see one of my favourite bands - Mudvayne - and miss the other one - System of a Down - due to a severe hayfever attack brought on by the dusty conditions and high winds. Still had fun!
- Managed to do 9hrs at work yesterday in spite of having had 3 hours sleep getting home from the festival at 4am. I rock!
- Zara took me out to dinner last night to make up for the lost hours on my birthday. She rocks!
- Spray-on mud for urban 4x4s, Metro 14 June. *shakes head in belief*
- Rigoletto will be relayed live to a big screen in Covent Garden Piazza on Tuesday June 21. Sounds like a hoot, and it's on the solstice, so a good night to stay out late. Anyone else?

Rigoletto: mememe! Love that opera. Love Covent Garden. Love solstice. All fabulous.
Also, happy belated - sorry I missed it, you evidently never make enough fuss about your birthday since I've never known when it is (other than, you're a Gemini). Will endeavour to rectify.
Also, sorry about your work travails; is there an end in sight?
Rigoletto: mememe!
Great. That's makes 2 of us so far. I'll do the redundancy thing, and send out an email about it to the Luddites who don't blogchase, see if we can get a bigger crowd. Haul your cronies along too, would you?
Also, happy belated
Stress not. I make no fuss because I want no fuss. Thanks for the wishes anyway ;)
is there an end in sight?
Of sorts. My co-payroller returns from Uganda on Monday, and then the workload will approach half of it's current size. Just need to make it through this week no more insane than I normally am.
Belated happy birthday, it's a pity you didn't make the game, since I'd bought you a cake, but hey, the rest of the gang enjoyed it ;) Hope to see you next week.
A
even more belated happy day of birth wishes from me and p! :)
do you feel like a grown up yet?
hope not!
work sounds like hell.
may i suggest quitting and going on a trip around the world? ;P
heya!
you ok?
long time no hear, hope work didn't eat you up!
:)
i'm frantically (gosh, is that really what it is?) working, too, but having lots of fun doing it.
big hugs!
