Rightie ho, it's been a while since I blogged. Why, you ask. Good question, I reply. Will you tell us, you ask (slightly irritated). I will, I reply (slighlty aloof). Right now!

There was some residential kicking off last week that I alluded to last time and there was some mild excitment and she is now back at the hospital. Elisabeth thinks that I'm burning out at work; I think that my brain is morphing into something superhuman by the need to be alert all the time. I'm hoping that, in a few weeks time, I'll be fully capable on mind reading. At the moment, all I'm getting is a smoky grey shifting coloury foggy thingy.

It's also pretty busy because our annual review is coming up next week and I'm supposed to be co-ordinating with a co-worker. This is, aparantly, the single most important day of the year for the residence and they're put me in charge. With the co-worker who is 'destructive to my focus.' O what a glorious day it will be. I'm looking forward to, at long last, meeting the mayor and our local MP. Sorry, I mean the duke & Dutchess of God.

Summer is back in England - it's shorts weather and the nights aren't so bad because it cools off very, very nicely. Hopefully I'll have a nice tan for when we arrive in Canada.

Oh, Canada, you say. Sorry for my lameness - here's a rough plan of our itinary while we're visiting. Thank you Sean, for reminding me how I said I'd post this weeks and weeks ago.

September
16 - Arrive in the A.M. Chill out.
17 - In the evening; pub crawl: Foufs, a single shot at Fats, Brutopia, Brutopia, Brutopia. Maybe a nightcap at Buster Harveys. Sean, Joanna, we will require the use of your house.
18 - Breakfast at the Oxford, Tams in the afternoon, lunch at Cafe Santropol and a nightcap at Cafe la Nuit on Prince Arthur.
19 - Shopping for E, lunch/diner with my dad
20/21 - Relaxo.
22/23 - Train to T-Dot (E- When are we going? We need to book train tickets!)
23 or 24 - Toronto 'party' chez Mark & Jenn. And by "'party'" I mean 'get together'. E realizes that we don't know enough people in the T-Dot to have enough people over for a 'party' per say, so we'll have a fun 'get together.' See my Sister these days, hopefully.
25-29 - Westberg family visits, Toronto exploration, possible day trip to Ottawa to see Stephen W.
30 - Return to England.

Rightie-ho, folks. Please comment & amend and give us your opinions so that we can improve this list.
