Looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

OK, so its been two weeks since K and I arrived back from our Aus holiday - and a pretty busy two weeks at that. Arriving back at work after a holiday is usually quite stressful, as everything needs to be picked up again, and sorted out - the biggest of which is usually the "Inbox". After 2 solid days of wading through mail (527 unread items), I felt like I was making a bit of progress. Only problem is that unread mail isn't simply just simply opened, read, and discarded - it usually involves some follow up or action. Yup - as much as I relish the digital age, I detest the ease with which people can shift email throughout an organisation - and expect things to be sorted out.

So besides work, we also managed to catch up with some mates last Friday night - The Hoff is back in town! Forgot to take the camera with, so didn't get any pics, but he is looking fit and healthy. We also got to meet Cath at long last, and had a chance to catch up with Rich, Simona, Jo and Frank. Great evening - it always amazes me how whipped Lance's folks are - he has them wrapped around his little finger - running around serving drinks, braaing the meat, preparing the pudding - so sorted. Full marks to them!

Its also been quite a busy week socially - squash practice on Monday night, Dinner Club on Tuesday night, squash league on Wednesday night, and then another squash practice last night. Good thing we now have four days to recover!
