After a relatively (read: Very Very Very) quiet start to the year social-life wise, this week is all of a sudden hotting up. After Sunday's gig, yesterday evening I had supper at the curate's place - wonderful evening, I really enjoyed it, and can't let it go without mentioning that her poor kitty with the surgical collar to stop her scratching herself had an identical expression to Puss in Boots from Shrek 2, so that even a diehard dog person like me couldn't fail to fall for her. Tonight is free, but tomorrow night I'm meeting up with some friends from England who are staying in Scotland for the week. Tomorrow night has turned into a very popular going-out night - I've already had to turn down a ticket for another Celtic Connections gig (Eliza Carthy & the Ratcatchers), and when I got back last night I had a message that another friend from London is working in Glasgow tomorrow, staying tomorrow night and wanted to meet up, I felt so awful saying I was already doing something. Honestly, this social life business is like London buses - nothing for ages then 3 at once. I'm also out Thursday and Friday evenings so all my good intentions to do more PhD studying are going to be sidelined if I'm not careful. Balance. How does that happen? (Answers on a postcard...)

In other totally unrelated news, I am NOT a teenager. So what's with the spots? Gah. This should have happened 20 years ago.

And in still other unrelated news, today I am working (*cough*) from home on something that had an original deadline of last September. If you hear that Katie has fainted in the next day or so, it's my fault.
