Tired......

You’ll have to forgive the tardiness of this post. The reason is primarily due to work – and the manicness of the past few weeks. Take last week – I was on a training course Monday and Tuesday, on Wednesday I had a full day quality management review, which continued into Thursday morning, then I had three meetings and a presentation on Thursday afternoon and Friday. I also prepared a tender in overtime. In the past month I have worked on two projects in Vietnam, three in Singapore, and one in Jakarta, and worked on proposals in Nepal, Oman and the rest of Indonesia. I think we can all agree that I’ve been busy. The Dodgess, has equally been busy, if not more so trying to cram a lot of music administration support into what time exists around what is a rather full time job. 

The result is that I have almost nothing of real excitement to talk about. Or perhaps I’m just too tired to think about writing anything much.

We are still in the process of sorting out our flat. We have made some progress – we have a bit more furniture after this afternoon, including some seats, and some more countertop in the kitchen. We still have one disgraceful room that I daresay we will try and sort out before the family arrive in a couple of months time. We may even have somewhere for them to sleep!

One of the things that needs to be sorted in the disgrace room are CDs. Friends of mine have recently spoke lovingly about combining her CD collection with her husband’s – about how fun it was to see what had become a joint collection get built from the individual versions.

Whilst it is exciting to think about a joint collection, organising and sorting it, is not such a prospect. Yes - we have loads of CDs. But they are in a mess. Mine have no boxes (ok – they do, but they are in the UK). The Dodgess’ have boxes, well some of them do. Other boxes exist without the CD. A result of trailing the box-free around the world as a student. I have already spent a few hours sorting them, with only some success, and I guess a few more hours is required. This is before I perhaps think about getting the boxes for my CD over, and reuniting some of them.

We have a few days in Hong Kong coming up – hopefully that we re-charge our batteries. We decided that we should go there because although I’ve been twice, I’ve never really been outside of hotels. I think I ought to get out!
