It's been a quiet week this week. I think I'm going to calm things down for a little while, well hopefully until Christmas.

I finally got around to having a look at the old hard drive on my laptop. Well it's dead Jim. Looks like I'll have to survive on the backup that I had taken.

Now that I know that I'm going to take some time off in a couple of weeks time I didn't realise how much I've been running on fumes recently. By Friday this week I was barely able to walk up the stairs in work (and no, I'm not going to start taking the lift up one floor). Mentaly, I've been making one or two basic errors. I'm starting to realise that I really need the time off work.

I was sent an application form for Student Cross this week. It seems a little bit early for me, but who am I to say. Reminds me, that I will have to have a long chat with my specialist about this. My mind is between one of two things at the moment. Either do two days at both the beginning and the end of the week. Or, just do the whole of the half week leg. Don't know which yet.

I can't believe that it's coming up to Christmas again. I went into London and all the lights are up, I know that sponsorship is all well and good, but I do find it funny that the film sponsoring the lights will probably be out of the cinema by the beginning of December. I did notice in Bromley today that there was a Christmas shop open. You simply cannot escape.

I mentioned in passing that I was meeting up with a friend of mine Sunday afternoon and that I told him I we would have o be finished by 5pm. One of my work colleagues said that he also needed time to prepare for a new Dr Who episode. I didn't have the gall to tell him that I had something to do between 5 and 7...

Speaking of Doctor Who, I've just watched the episode. It was nice to see the return of the darker Doctor. Mind you, he didn't really do much until the last ten minutes of the episode. One question I would have is, how would you know the really important things which cannot be changed?

On that deep and meaningful question I'll leave it there for tonight. You never know, I might even explain myself one of these days.

Bye for now
