Update

Wed, 22 Apr 2020 13:44:10 GMT

Back at work this morning, had a busy morning because of all the things I hadn’t done while I was on leave on Monday and Tuesday. Now in a slough. If a slough is what I think it is. I’m expecting my boss to ring me today or tomorrow because we have a meeting scheduled for next week that needs an agenda sending out. I’ve gone as far as I can in preparing the agenda and need her input for the final bits and extra items for discussion.

Am back from Mancunicon, and setting down with drinks of choice and cuddles from my kitty, whom I missed far more than I had reason to given that she was being properly cared for by aunty_marion.

Back!

Sun, 25 Oct 2015 17:13:23 GMT

I am back from Nottingham, where I was attending the British Fantasy Convention. I had a great time, saw some excellent panels and met a gaggle of writers and people who teach writing. I attended with my friend Anna Smith-Spark (annalibitina on Twitter), whom I know from work. When I worked of course.

Alive!

I’ve been a bit quiet recently; this isn’t because I’ve been busy, just that I’ve been idle. I’ve been commenting, but not posting.

Tragedy!

Tue, 17 Feb 2015 23:49:55 GMT

Tragedy has struck - I'm not going to be able to make Redemption. I've come down with a cold, and attending a convention with a cold is no fun, plus travelling with a cold sucks like a sucky thing.

I'm attending a slash event (not a convention, it's not really big enough for that) at the end of the month, and in preparation for it I'm reading Fifty Shades of Grey.

Back!

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 12:47:30 GMT

I'm back from redemption_con. Met lots of fascinating people, and spent far too little time with all of them. Now going to rest what passes for my brain and watch some more Boston Legal.
