Time for a general catchup, given that things have been busy busy busy the last few weeks at work.

Here goes then

Work

Probably best to just check out Red Sea Explorers for the full write-ups. Flickr has the photos.

Things have been busy, to the extreme.

New Laptop

Part of my current bout of free / internet time after nearly 4 weeks without contact meant I did that natural thing and went and bought a laptop… obviously. Gone and got myself an IBM T41 from good old eBay, at what I believe to be a fairly reasonable price. Of course, it’s at home, and I’m in Egypt, but it’s exciting nonetheless, as it should be able to at least open an Eve Client… More on that when I’m home.

Reading

I’m slowly hacking my way through Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot. It’s not an easy journey, but is proving entertaining.

Eve

It appears that at some point in the last few weeks, while I couldn’t even check forums, TGRAD joined BRUCE. Which is nice, as it should mean more chance to shoot at stuff. However, I can’t help feeling I’m going to struggle to get there to take part after everyone else has relocated and by the time I get online.

If you don’t understand this then it’s probably for the best.

Illness

I have no idea why, but I’ve been ‘not well’ for nearly 2 weeks now. Whether I should have taken medicine and whether it would have made me feel better quicker remains to be seen, but it feels as though I’m over the worst of it now. It made work seem difficult, occasionally.

Heading Home

Flight booked for 1st July. It could get messy.
