Making Jack a dull boy

Tuesday

Shock - Horror. I went to work today. Also no performance of MacBeth .

Despite having been in the country for 2 weeks I woke up about 4-30 this morning. Since I'm off home again in a couple of days perhaps I should continue to do this so as to be reacclimatised to Australian time.

I am also coming down with a cold/flu. Seems inevitable after spending so much time in meetings with several dozen people or on aircraft. There's always someone who has something to pass on and working at home I avoid getting exposed most of the time.

As usual, I eventually went back to sleep and had to force myself to get up about 7.

I was just going to have some fruit for breakfast but Maggie looked so forlorn and Robert had already started cooking bacon and sausages that I gave in and had a small cooked breakfast.

The office was a short walk and I was there around 8. I took over and empty desk and then spent most of the morning with Richard seeing what they use now and talking about what they wanted and suggesting ideas.

Sandwiches were ordered in for lunch and after others I commented on some specs done by someone else and wrote up some recommendations.

They seem quite keen to get me involved in what I expect will be a supervisory/advisory capacity define the technical specs for the actual programmers.

I was collected after 7 by Richard and we met Iain and Debbie for a meal in the city centre, It was qjuite pleasant and the food was tasty buit not too generous. I had a nice lamb steak for mains.

It was 10 when I got back to the room. I'm going to take some paracetamol and hope to get a decent night's sleep.
