What a week this has been! And how tragic that the Magpies lost Tuesday! Ah well. There are plenty more games to be played.

MERLIN! WHY?

I find myself quite unable to concentrate on work today. Quick! Someone provide me with another excuse to be distracted!

I don't often find myself wishing to return home, but this last trip was too long even for my tastes. I'm pleased to be back. It seems I missed some lovely weddings while I was away. What a terrible shame that is! Have I missed anything else of importance?
