Gluttony

Well, this week was certainly a change from the norm, and I finally got [most of] a week away from the office. Firstly, the food was good, perhaps a little too good... Every day there was a full cooked breakfast, followed by a three course lunch (bigger than most evening meals I'd have) and with another large (again three course) evening meal to finish. Coupled with coffee and biscuits on tap all day, and not moving around all that much from being in a lecture/conference room, after a day or so we were all feeling pretty bloated... I'm sure I've actually put on a noticeable amount of weight.

The course title was actually "teamworking and communications", and despite my initial reservations about the slightly fluffy angle the course material took on these things, I think I've actually come away with some useful ideas and tools, plus I've also learned quite a bit about myself from some sort of profiling test they let us all do.

We returned on Thursday evening, by which point I was completely exhausted, but I still managed to find time to play chess in a pub, which is something I don't think I've done before.

Friday was a relatively short day in the office with me tying up a few loose ends and sorting out my time sheet before heading back early afternoon to a nice nap :o) Today has been not particularly productive, with the biggest achievement so far is going to get a few bits from the shops.

Plan for tomorrow is to get the bike out, and also to pop and take this photo I've been meaning to for ages (weather permitting)
