Remember when this was going to be a quiet summer?

[bookgazing]

Things I have been doing

* Holidaying - France last month and then Brussels last week
* Attending hen dos and weddings
* Day trips and weekends out - The theatre, Kew Gardens, The Shard, a cottage break, speedway events and, of course, the local pubs
* Work things - A conference and a never ending away day on top of the regular job
* Writing things for Lady Business
* Trying to keep up with various co-projects
* Applying for things - With bonus interviews but as yet no results
* Sleeping whenever possible

Things I haven't been doing

* Reading
* Watching TV (at least not most of my ongoing series)
* Blogging here
* Replying to e-mails

It's pretty much been a never ending weekend packathon for me since June. Next weekend I'll be away again but then everything really should calm down for a couple of weeks and perhaps you'll see more of me than the occassional tweet. Hope you're all doing well!

Switch the contents of the two categories and you've got my summer :p I did go on holiday but it felt like an ordeal so I'm not sure it counts.

Did you eat icecream? That means it counts (but may still have sucked while counting). I see that you're learning to drive though so hope that's going well.

Well at least it sounds like you're having fun! :) I hope the applying for things starts to turn around for you soon in particular.

I am (apart from the away day - you should have seen me after that). The cottage was wonderful - they let us borrow their dogs and their cat :D I have a thing coming up fairly soon so I'll let you know if it goes well.

That sounds busy! But at least half of the list looks fun, so that's good? (I hope?)

Yes it is good and it's been lovely to see so many of my friends celebrate big occassions.

It sounds like it's been a blast, but also like it's time to take a moment to breath. :) Enjoy the post-holiday peace!

I'm determined to enjoy the sunshine as it might be coming to a close...
