Apologies for the lack of postings recently. Things have been moving at a fair pace in work.
Work colleague announced last week that he would be retiring on 9th October. Things moved a lot quicker than everyone was expecting, especially after it was decided not to replace him. Therefore there was no need for him to remain to train his replacement - a non starter to begin with.
So for the next two weeks he'll be visiting his customers and saying goodbye. However I get no help until he has left and we can reallocate work with my colleague who is going to help me out.
Personally I can't wait. I need to slow down and take time to breathe.

While I've been away I've read: Fire & Steam by Christian Wolmar (a history of the railway in Britain); Eleven Minutes Late by Matthew Engel (disappointing as it is billed as a book about a train journey around modern Britain but spends more time covering the history of British rail - not to be read so soon after Wolmar); The Dead Rise Not by Philip Kerr (another in his Bernie Gunter series - a German private eye in 30's Berlin and after).
I've now started the 4th Shardlake novel - Revelation.
