Back from holidays

OK, so I've actually been back for over a week and I've neglected my blog! Ah, terrible! Well, of course, I was back at work the next day. I was greeted by a couple of hundred emails - loads of spam and a fair bit of legitimate stuff. I had a couple of tasks to complete in the week which I caught up with fairly quickly which was a relief. Spent 4 days with my head down, in a half empty office as my colleague, Anne, was on hols. Then I took Friday off as I suddenly realised I had more holidays to take and made an early start on using them up! Spent some fun time with Jen (my beautiful daughter who is 9 going on 19!), including a movie marathon - Harry Potter and Simpsons at the cinema, then Lord of the Rings 2 on DVD at home. Finally crashed out around 1.30pm! And then had a pretty good weekend.

The holiday? Well, that was brilliant. We all had a good rest as well as enjoying the local area, seeing some sites, shopping at markets, etc. Will try and give a more detailed report when I get the photos off the digital camera. Sitting in front of the home computer has not been my top priority when we've had good weather and I sit in front of the computer all day at work!

A couple of projects coming up - possibly starting a new Guide Unit of my own, and being a sub-camp leader at next year's County Camp. I think I may be busy.

Short term - we're looking forward to seeing our friends from Lancaster, PA. Tom and Marty Brown were like my adopted parents when I went to summer camp back in 1988, and we've kept in touch ever since. It will be good to do some catching up in person instead of via email.

Back to work now, but hope to post again soon!
